context-engineering

Context engineering reduces hallucinations by curating what information the agent sees and when it sees it across coding sessions. It organizes inputs from persistent project rules down to transient conversation history to maintain focus.

Coding agents lose track during task switches due to context flooding. Applying a context hierarchy selectively loads relevant specs and source files instead of dumping large documentation sets, ensuring the agent receives only the most relevant information.

The best way to feed build errors back is through error-informed iteration. You provide the exact failing error output from the latest run, which allows the agent to apply targeted fixes instead of guessing at the underlying problem.

You manage agent confusion by using explicit confusion management guardrails. This approach surfaces contradictions, missing requirements, and ambiguity explicitly so the agent asks for clarification before guessing or generating incorrect output.

Yes, you can use context packing strategies like brain dumps, selective include lists, and hierarchical summaries. These techniques keep the provided context concise while staying useful for the agent's current coding task.

No specific dependencies are required to initialize an agent session. You start by providing the project rules file plus only the spec section and source files relevant to the current task to properly load the right context.
