Context Engineering
Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML
Context engineering is the practice of designing and structuring the information—instructions, examples, retrieved documents, memory, and tool outputs—fed into a large language model's context window to improve its accuracy and reliability on a task. It has emerged as a key discipline for AI engineers building applications with LLMs, going beyond simple prompt writing to include retrieval strategies, context compression, and management of what the model sees at each step.
