Context Engineering for Coding Agents
Read OriginalThis article by a Thoughtworks Distinguished Engineer examines the emerging field of context engineering for AI coding assistants. It defines context engineering as curating what a model sees to get better results, detailing categories like reusable prompts (instructions and guidance) and context interfaces (tools, MCP servers, skills). Using Claude Code as a primary example, it serves as a primer on current configuration features and strategic approaches to enhance agent performance.
