    Beyond Prompt Engineering

    Master the art of curating system prompts, tool descriptions, memory, and message history for optimal agent behavior.

    "The best agents aren't built with clever prompts—they're built with thoughtfully engineered context."
    — AI Agent Automations

    Context engineering is the evolution of prompt engineering for agents. It's not just about what you write in prompts—it's about curating the optimal set of tokens across system prompts, tool descriptions, few-shot examples, conversation history, and retrieved context. Well-engineered context dramatically improves agent reliability and reduces hallucinations.

    Common Pitfalls

    1

    Context is more than prompts—it's everything the model sees

    2

    Hierarchical context: system → task → tool → memory layers

    3

    Keep context tight and informative, not exhaustive

    4

    Few-shot examples beat long rule lists

    5

    Test context designs with evals, not just intuition
