Context Engineering

Overview

context-engineering provides systematic strategies for optimizing Claude Code context window usage. It helps you monitor token consumption, reduce context load, design context-efficient skills, and apply proven optimization patterns.

Purpose: Maximize Claude Code effectiveness while managing token costs and maintaining conversation quality

The 5 Context Optimization Operations:

1. Monitor Context Usage - Track token consumption, identify heavy consumers
2. Reduce Context Load - Remove stale content, minimize loaded files
3. Optimize Skill Design - Progressive disclosure, efficient reference loading
4. Separate Planning/Execution - Keep execution context clean
5. File-Based Strategies - Externalize large data (95% token savings)
