Context engineering is the discipline of building the right information environment so an LLM can solve your actual problem. It was [named by Tobi Lutke](https://x.com/tobi/status/1925629163972653200) and [Andrej Karpathy](https://x.com/karpathy/status/1937902205765607626) in 2025, and it's quickly becoming the single most important skill in AI engineering.
