Context Engineering

The new prompt engineering

Context engineering is the discipline of deciding what information goes into the context window, in what order, and at what priority. It's prompt engineering evolved — less about wording tricks, more about information architecture.

Why this matters

Teams that treat context engineering as a discipline get 3-5x better results from the same model. It's the highest-leverage skill for AI engineering teams in 2026.
