Context Is The Easy Part
Originally published on Kepler Everyone’s talking about context engineering right now, but most of the conversation is focused on the wrong thing. Read the blog posts, the guides, the thought leadership. They’re all asking the same questions: What should I include in the context window? How do I manage tokens efficiently? How do I curate what the model sees? These are valid questions. They’re also the easy part. The hard part isn’t deciding what context to include. It’s building systems that deliver that context reliably, with provenance, at scale, every single time. That’s not a context problem. That’s an engineering problem. And engineering means something specific. ...
