SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Feed agents the right information at the right time. Context is the single biggest lever for agent output quality — too little and the agent hallucinates, too much and it loses focus. Context engineering is the practice of deliberately curating what the agent sees, when it sees it, and how it's structured.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structure context from most persistent to most transient: Rules Files (CLAUDE.md, etc.), Spec / Architecture Docs, Relevant Source Files, Error Output / Test Results, Conversation History.
Level-based loading: Level 1 — Rules Files; Level 2 — Specs/Architecture; Level 3 — Relevant Source Files; Level 4 — Error Output / Test Results; Level 5 — Conversation History.
Practical guidance for starting fresh sessions, recovering output quality, and switching between codebase areas.

Quick Start

Start a session with a project-wide rules file and a feature-specific spec loaded, then gradually add relevant source files as tasks evolve.

FAQPage Schema

Why does my coding agent hallucinate or lose focus during complex tasks?▼

Agent hallucinations often occur because the context is poorly curated. Context engineering solves this by deliberately structuring what the agent sees, from persistent rules files to transient error outputs, maximizing accuracy and minimizing distractions.

How do I structure context for AI agents to improve coding accuracy?▼

Structure context using a layered approach: load rules files first, then specs and architecture docs, relevant source files, error outputs, and finally conversation history. This hierarchical loading ensures the agent prioritizes persistent constraints over transient data.

What is the best way to recover degraded agent output quality in a coding session?▼

To recover degraded agent output, apply hierarchical context loading by re-establishing the layered rules-file approach. Reload project-wide rules and feature-specific specs to realign the agent's focus before continuing the task.

How do I switch between coding tasks without confusing the AI agent?▼

When switching between codebase areas, reload context starting with Level 1 rules files and Level 2 feature specs. This persistent context loading resets the agent's focus boundaries and prevents cross-task data contamination.

Can I use context engineering with any AI coding agent or only specific platforms?▼

Context engineering applies to any AI coding agent by utilizing layered rules file approaches like CLAUDE.md or equivalent project configuration files. It establishes data handling boundaries to manage what information the agent processes.
