Synopsis

Context Engineering: Hands-On Guide to LLMs, Context-Aware Systems, and Multi-Agent Workflows

In today’s AI-driven world, context is everything. Large Language Models (LLMs) have the power to transform industries, but without the right context, they produce unreliable, inconsistent, and sometimes dangerous results. This groundbreaking guide teaches you how to build robust, scalable systems that give LLMs exactly what they need to perform reliably and safely—no more, no less.

Whether you’re a developer, machine learning engineer, or technical leader, this book takes you step-by-step through the entire context engineering process. You’ll move from the fundamentals of LLMs and context windows to advanced architectures like multi-agent systems and compliance-aware retrieval pipelines. With complete, copy-and-paste code examples in every chapter, you’ll go beyond theory and build real-world, production-ready solutions without relying on external repositories.

What You’ll Learn:

• The evolution from prompt engineering to context engineering and why it matters now more than ever.
• How to design retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems using tools like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and Hugging Face.
• Role-aware context design with schemas, validation, and secure access controls.
• Building multi-agent workflows where LLMs and specialized agents collaborate seamlessly.
• Scaling strategies to optimize token usage, reduce latency, and manage costs.
• Real-world projects, including a customer support bot, financial research assistant, and compliance-focused retrieval system.
• Best practices for deploying AI systems that are safe, efficient, and fully auditable.

This book isn’t just a reference—it’s a hands-on roadmap. Every concept is paired with practical code, clear explanations, and actionable strategies that you can apply immediately to your own projects.

If you want to build context-aware systems that are trustworthy, production-grade, and future-proof, this book is your essential guide. By the final chapter, you’ll have the skills and confidence to design AI systems that don’t just generate answers—they understand.
