Outcome before context
Every request starts with a Manifest: objective, constraints, and verification target.
Outcome-Based Context Engineering
Engineer the context. Verify the outcome.
I apply OBCE to product and AI systems: define outcomes first, constrain context aggressively, and build verification loops that make quality measurable.
Methodology
Prompting is art. Context engineering is systems design. OBCE shifts from isolated prompts to managed decision environments.
Signal over noise
Only relevant context survives triage. Token budget is a strategic resource.
Constraint as safety
Clear negative constraints reduce hallucination space and increase reliability.
Verification as trust
Outputs must be testable and auditable, not accepted on narrative confidence.
Decision trace lifecycle
From intent to deterministic outcome, every step is recorded and reusable.
