Context engineering is essentially information scheduling within a limited window: deciding what to keep, what to compress, and what to move out of the window and recall on demand from external storage (such as a vector database).

VerifiedContext compaction is a technical mechanism designed to retain key information within a limited context window.77% similarUnverifiedIn large model usage, the context window is a limited resource, and token consumption accumulates with conversation turns, file reads, and code injection.74% similarUnverifiedThe context window is the limited workspace available when the model generates a reply; its size depends on the specific model, and text, images and newly generated answers all consume this space.74% similarUnverifiedContext engineering refers to the engineering practice of understanding the resource limits of the model's context window and organizing all the extra components stuffed into the window besides the codebase (tools, skills, MCP servers providing external data, etc.).74% similarUnverifiedCommon engineering strategies for handling context window limits include: prioritizing critical dependencies, structurally summarizing long files, using RAG to inject only relevant fragments, and handling large projects that exceed the window through chunking plus iterative processing.73% similar
