Sinossi

AI agents are not born intelligent they are engineered to be intelligent. Their true power emerges from context, and mastering context engineering is the difference between a tool that merely responds and an agent that thinks, plans, and evolves.
In Mastering Context Engineering for AI Agents, bestselling AI author Yuan Zhu delivers a definitive, hands-on playbook for building robust, context-driven, memory-enabled, and multi-agent AI systems that work reliably in the real world. This guide takes you far beyond prompt crafting, into the realm of structured, resilient, and production-ready AI architectures.
You’ll learn to harness the combined strengths of GPT-4, Claude, LangChain, LangGraph, RAG pipelines, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create AI agents that reason, remember, collaborate, and self-correct.
Inside, you’ll discover:

  • The Context Stack Blueprint – How to layer system prompts, role conditioning, tool metadata, and user inputs into coherent, structured agent contexts
  • Memory-Driven Intelligence – Implement vector stores, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and function calling for deep reasoning without exceeding token limits
  • Tool-Augmented Reasoning – Seamlessly integrate APIs, databases, and external tools into intelligent workflows
  • Multi-Agent Orchestration – Design agent teams in LangGraph that share context, pass tasks, and execute role-based behavior patterns
  • Resilience Engineering – Build agents that detect, prevent, and heal hallucinations through reflection chains, constitutional prompting, and automated retries
  • MCP in Action – Standardize agent context with typed schemas, version control, and cross-platform interoperability
  • Observability & CI/CD for AI – Implement logging, tracing, testing, and continuous updates with LangSmith and MCP tooling
  • Real-World Deployments – Follow complete blueprints for a memory-rich research assistant, a task-planning multi-agent network, a scoped document summarizer, and a self-healing reflection chain
Whether you’re an AI engineer, developer, or researcher, this book equips you to build production-grade AI agents that move beyond “prompt-in, answer-out” and into true context-aware intelligence. Every chapter combines theory, architecture patterns, and fully worked examples so you can apply what you learn immediately.
If you want to master the future of AI agent engineering where context is not just data, but the foundation of intelligence this is your essential guide.
