The State of Context Engineering

A new essay examines where context engineering stands as a discipline, arguing that structuring the information fed to AI models has become as important as the models themselves. The piece surveys how practitioners assemble prompts, retrieval pipelines and tool outputs into effective context windows, and assesses what techniques are working in practice.
