coleam00/context-engineering-intro
Context engineering is the new vibe coding - it's the way to actually make AI coding assistants work. Claude Code is the best for this so that's what this repo is centered around, but you can apply this strategy with any AI coding assistant!
Build with Backblaze B2
SDKs, agent skills, IDE extensions, and reference pipelines from Backblaze Labs. All open source.

Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides a comprehensive template and workflow for context engineering to enable AI coding assistants to deliver accurate, consistent, and complex code implementations.
- Ensures AI assistants have complete project context including rules, examples, and validation, reducing failures and enabling self-correction beyond traditional prompt engineering.
- Use for setting up AI coding assistants with detailed project rules and examples to automate feature implementation end-to-end.
- Use for creating and executing product requirements prompts (PRPs) that guide AI through multi-step coding tasks with validation and testing.
- Use for standardizing AI-assisted development workflows by defining coding conventions, testing patterns, and documentation standards in a reusable template.

General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
A comprehensive template for getting started with Context Engineering - the discipline of engineering context for AI coding assistants so they have the information necessary to get the job done end to end.
Context Engineering is 10x better than prompt engineering and 100x better than vibe coding.
