Discussion - Topic: Context Engineering

This week's topic: Context Engineering Discussion resources to help guide the conversation will be posted below a few days before the meetup. Zoom link will be added about 5 min before the event starts. As described in Thoughtworks Technology Radar Vol. #34. Context engineering has evolved from an optimization tactic into a foundational architectural concern for modern AI systems. Unlike prompt engineering, which focuses on wording, context engineering treats the context window as a design surface and intentionally constructs the AI’s information environment. As agents tackle more complex tasks, dumping raw data into large context windows leads to “context rot” and degraded reasoning. To combat this, teams are shifting from static,…
