Context Engineering

Context defines the ceiling of what an agent can do: a mid-tier model with carefully engineered context often outperforms a top-tier model flailing blindly. It’s not about “stuffing more into the prompt,” but systemically designing all the information needed for the task. It’s also, at its core, an organizational problem: if team knowledge is locked in heads, no agent will help. Documentation-friendly teams are agent-friendly teams.
