Context Engineering: From Prompts to Corporate Multi-Agent Architecture

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems evolve from stateless chatbots to autonomous multi-step agents, prompt engineering (PE), the discipline of crafting individual queries, proves necessary but insufficient. This paper introduces context engineering (CE) as a standalone discipline concerned with designing, structuring, and managing the entire informational environment in which an AI agent makes decisions. Drawing on vendor architectures (Google ADK, Anthropic, LangChain), current academic work (ACE framework, Google DeepMind's intelligent delegation), enterprise research (Deloitte, 2026; KPMG, 2026), and the author's experience building a multi-agent system, the paper proposes five con...
