AI SERIES - 05
Wtf is context engineering.
Last week i covered prompt engineering. but one word kept showing up at the end:
context engineering.
& it's the reason your AI forgets, loses the plot on long tasks, & gives worse answers the more you feed it.
But how does it work?
To understand Context, you first need to know the difference between:
prompt engineering: how you ask.
context engineering: what's in the room when you ask.
your prompt is just one thing the model reads, while the context is everything else it reads before it answers.
➤ What’s in the room:
when you send one message to an AI, your prompt isn’t all it sees.
before it replies, it loads:
⟣ the system prompt; hidden rules, sometimes thousands of tokens.
⟣ every tool it can use, described in full.
⟣ the whole conversation so far.
⟣ any files you uploaded.
⟣ outputs from tools it already ran.
⟣ then, finally, your message.
When you think about it, your actual prompt is often less than 10% of what the model reads.
So polishing your prompt is you polishing that 10%. While context is the other 90%, and the part actually steering the answer.
➤ Why context goes bad:
More context isn’t better.
..Because past a point it rots the output, and it rots in four ways:
⟣ Poisoning; a wrong fact slips in. every step after treats it as true, so the mistake compounds.
⟣ Distraction; the history gets so long the model stops thinking & just echoes what it already did.
⟣ Confusion; irrelevant info in the window leaks into the answer.
⟣ Clash; two parts of the context contradict each other, so the model picks wrong.
if you’ve watched an agent slowly lose the plot on a long task, you’ve watched one of these happen live.
➤ How do you fix this.
Usually four ways.
⟣ Write.
Save info outside the window so it survives, this is how platforms like Claude Code remembers your project between sessions.
⟣ Select.
Pull in only what’s relevant, when it’s relevant. hand the model the one book it needs, not the whole library.
⟣ Compress.
Summarize the old stuff before it eats the window. For example, Anthropic’s testing cut token use by 84% on long tasks this way, while keeping work alive that would’ve otherwise crashed.
⟣ Isolate.
split the job across separate agents, each with a clean window.
Write, select, compress, isolate.
Chroma tested 18 leading models this year, and every one got worse as you fed it more.
the million-token models started slipping around 300,000 tokens in, and the window was still wide open, so the model was already forgetting the middle.
Proving that a bigger window was never the fix.
cleaner context was.
➤ this is where harness comes in:
You might’ve seen people say “the harness beats the model.” this is what they mean.
You see, on its own, a model just generates text, while the harness is the machine around it that turns text into action.
it runs a loop; gather the right context, act on it, then verify the output. & when a step fails, it retries with better context instead of just stopping.
- context lives inside that loop.
- prompt lives inside context.
> zoom in, you’re at the prompt.
> zoom out, you’re at context.
> zoom out again, you’re at the harness.
we’ll go deep on harness next episode, because that’s the layer people are building on.

Did you learn anything from today’s content?
And will you be there for the next?
🚨💣 BREAKING: Éderson to Manchester United, here we go!
Deal done with Atalanta for €45m package with add-ons included, agreement now in place.
Medical and formal steps to follow but deal in place.
Éderson will sign a four year deal plus option, as @TheAthleticFC reports.
People who spent weeks coming for a player who broke the unbreakable record, are playing why do they hate us card? No one hates you dear, na just your turn to chop banter.
If Carrick shits his pants next season, we sef go collect
Whenever you feel like you want to stop cooking them , just think about what they would have done to you if they had lifted that trophy . Wake up now and start from where you stopped 😅😅😅😅😅😅
24.7% - Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. Reactive.
It’s cuz men remember da best thing about you and women remember da worst thing about you. You be like damn she did stab me but she could cook like a mf. Women brain can erase 100 good things from 1 bad thing you did.
The phrase "for a man" exposes the entire rot. It's your child too lol. If the relationship ends tomorrow, you'll fight for 100% custody because it's "your"baby but while the bills are due, it's a service you performed "for him". The hypocrisy is wild
🚨💣 BREAKING: Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, here we go! Official bid accepted now by Newcastle board and Saudi owners.
€70m fixed fee plus add-ons to bring final package over €80m for #NUFC.
Gordon set to travel this week for medical and contract signing at FCB. 🔵🔴✈️
In any case you missed my thread on @1winPro’s discord alpha.
Week 2 of the play-zone contest wraps up on in a couple hours.
Top 10 on the board are walking away with $30 each in SOL.
if you try jumping in right now, you probably can’t make the cut.
but the $ isn't even the point here.
It’s how stupidly easy these tasks actually were.
I’ve been around the 1win ecosystem for a while now. Even been to some irl events they’ve sponsored in my country, and I see how much time they’ve put into building a new future for the entire igaming industry .
it’s still super early.
Activity & competition for vouchers, giveaways, drops, and leaderboard rewards are still wide open
- Get in.
- Select your role.
- Explore the channels.
- Enter the giveaways & place your bets.
Door’s open: https://t.co/tpNzSMknNk
Last week on CT was wild
⦁ $500 budget split across 100 creators.
⦁ Paid campaigns that cost more time than they’re worth.
⦁ Engage gigs pay out points that convert to nothing.
This is just the market right now.
But what if as a creator, you can earn up to $5k weekly?
I’ve talked about @1winPro & the iGaming sector a lot of times. How they’re Top10 globally, with 8 years of operation, hundreds of millions in monthly revenue.
they just opened up their Discord.
& built out a system where every channel is its own earning stream:
➫ like, RT & comment on posts to earn points that convert to $.
➫ free blackjack & roulette in-server, $30 weekly to top 10 on the leaderboard
➫ FCFS bonuses admins drop in the #general chat.
➫ live Wheel of Fortune voucher drops.
➫ $200K USDT crypto tournament running globally right now.
➫ score predictions on live matches
(someone called Aston Villa 3:0 last week & walked with $20)
This is not an Hail Mary.
Depends on the activity you put in; but it doesn’t depend on your follower count.
Which is the part that actually matters for a lot of good creators I know.
This is not mine. This is yours. This is ours.
From all the players, staff and everyone involved in the club, to you guys who supported us every single day of the season.
Grateful for your love and support ❤️
