SummaryAnthropic's engineering team introduces 'context engineering' as an evolution beyond prompt engineering, framing context as a finite resource that must be holistically curated to reliably elicit desired behavior from LLM-based agents.
Why it mattersOfficial Anthropic framing of the shift from prompt engineering to context engineering — a paradigm worth tracking for anyone building agent systems.
