Context engineering goes beyond prompt engineering by structuring the information surrounding a prompt to get accurate, relevant AI outputs. Key context types include instruction, domain, user, data, and memory context. The post covers common mistakes (too little or too much context), context compression techniques, dynamic context in production systems, and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). A structured template format (Role, Task, Context, Data, Constraints, Output format) is recommended for consistent, repeatable results.
