Context engineering is the work of giving an Agentforce agent the right information, tools, and instructions so it can reach its goals. Prompt engineering is narrower: it focuses on those direct instructions. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is narrower in a different way: it focuses on retrieving the right content, while context engineering covers the full set of everything available to the model.

Core information
  • Prompt engineering is the discipline of crafting prompts in a systematic way to improve model performance and reliability; RAG enriches a prompt by retrieving relevant content; context engineering takes in both of those plus everything else the model can see and use.
More details and nuances
  • Context clash is conflicting instructions, which can cause unexpected performance or even errors; context confusion is too much irrelevant content or too many unnecessary tools, which can make the agent inconsistent and increase latency; context poisoning is incorrect or outdated information, which can damage users' trust and adoption.
