Context Engineering, Not Prompt Engineering
The real skill isn't writing better prompts—it's designing what information reaches the model, when, and in what format. Context is working memory. It's a finite resource with diminishing marginal returns.
"I really like the term 'context engineering' over prompt engineering. It describes the core skill better."
— Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify
"Context engineering is in, and prompt engineering is out."
— Gartner, July 2025
💡The Working Memory Problem
Research on "context rot" shows that as tokens increase, the model's ability to recall information decreases. Think of context like a desk versus a filing cabinet:
- ✓Desk (working memory): Limited space, instant access. Every item competes for attention.
- ✓Filing cabinet (long-term memory): Unlimited space, slower retrieval. Perfect for reference material.
The telegraph operators knew this 150 years ago: what earns a seat in working memory? Only signal. Never fluff.
Anthropic's Context Engineering Framework
According to Anthropic's engineering team, effective context engineering means designing systems that provide:
The Right Information
Only what's necessary. Strip politeness, filler, and redundancy.
At the Right Time
Context placement matters. Critical info goes early or late, not buried in the middle.
In the Right Format
Structured data beats prose. XML tags, JSON, or markdown—not verbose paragraphs.
