Context Engineering
This is the skill you need when your agent hits token limits or starts forgetting things mid-conversation. It covers the full stack: fundamentals like attention mechanics and the U-shaped attention curve, practical optimization techniques like compaction and caching, memory architectures for cross-session persistence, and multi-agent patterns for isolating context. The four-bucket strategy (write, select, compress, isolate) is clean. Ships with analyzer scripts and specific metrics like triggering compaction at 70-80% utilization. Honest take: if you're building anything more complex than a simple chatbot, you'll eventually need this. The evaluation section using LLM-as-Judge is especially useful for measuring whether your optimizations actually work.

Context Engineering
Context engineering curates the smallest high-signal token set for LLM tasks. The goal: maximize reasoning quality while minimizing token usage.
When to Activate
- Designing/debugging agent systems
- Context limits constrain performance
- Optimizing cost/latency
- Building multi-agent coordination
- Implementing memory systems
- Evaluating agent performance
- Developing LLM-powered pipelines
Core Principles
- Context quality > quantity - High-signal tokens beat exhaustive content
- Attention is finite - U-shaped curve favors beginning/end positions
- Progressive disclosure - Load information just-in-time
- Isolation prevents degradation - Partition work across sub-agents
- Measure before optimizing - Know your baseline
