Context engineering for coding agents - CLAUDE.md templates, mechanical enforcement, and a field guide to 20+ best practices. Bootstrap with one command.
Why this job: says: context engineering
What it does
Andrej Karpathy put it bluntly: "The agents do not listen to my instructions." They bloat abstractions, copy-paste code blocks, and ignore style guidance, no matter how carefully you write your AGENTS.md. If the person who coined "context engineering" can't get agents to follow written rules, the answer isn't better prompting. It's mechanical enforcement: git hooks that block bad code before it lands, linters that catch what instructions can't, and rule files that load only when relevant so the agent's finite attention isn't wasted.
