Context Engineering Guide

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-28 03:59:48

What is Context Engineering? A few years ago, many, even top AI researchers, claimed that prompt engineering would be dead by now. Obviously, they were very wrong, and in fact, prompt engineering is now even more important than ever. It is so important that it is now being rebranded as context engineering. Yes, another fancy term to describe the important process of tuning the instructions and relevant context that an LLM needs to perform its tasks effectively. Much has been written already

In this post, I group context engineering into a few common strategies seen across many popular agents today.
