🧠 AI Context Engineering (Part 5): Context Optimization - Give AI What It Needs, Not Everything You Have

We've come a long way in this series.

In Part 1, we introduced Context Engineering and why it goes beyond writing better prompts.

In Part 2, we explored tokens, context windows and memory.

In Part 3, we looked at how AI applications get information through RAG, Tool Calling and MCP.

And in Part 4, we explored how AI agents use context and tools to execute multi-step tasks.
