As Simon argues here, “prompt engineering” as a term didn’t really catch on. Perhaps “context engineering” better captures the task of providing just the right context to an LLM to get it to most effectively solve a problem.

It turns out that inferred definitions are the ones that stick. I think the inferred definition of "context engineering" is likely to be much closer to the intended meaning.
