context-engineering

Use context engineering when starting new coding sessions, switching tasks, setting up new projects, or when agent output quality degrades and needs refreshed contextual information.

Before editing a file, read the target file and its related test files. This ensures the agent implements changes correctly and follows existing project conventions.

Agent output quality degrades when session context becomes unstructured or overloaded. Applying context engineering curates the visible information, restoring output quality by delivering only the necessary rules, docs, and source files.

Context engineering optimizes agent context setup for improved coding sessions. It solves the problem of agents lacking the right information at the right time by delivering curated rules, docs, source files, and history.

Fix convention issues by using context engineering to explicitly feed rules files and related source files into the agent's context. Reading the target file and its tests before editing ensures the agent follows established patterns.
