Context Engineering for Multi-Agent Systems
By :
In the previous chapter, we established the foundational skill of context engineering: transforming a vague prompt into a structured semantic blueprint. Now, we will apply that skill at a much larger scale to build a system of specialized AI agents that collaborate to solve complex problems using contexts to communicate. A single LLM is a brilliant generalist, but it’s not an expert. For any complex, multi-step task, using a single LLM is inefficient and often fails. Therefore, we will architect a Multi-Agent System (MAS), where the context we engineer expands beyond the content of a single message to define the very design of the system. This includes defining which agents are needed, their specific roles and capabilities, and the structured methods they use to communicate without losing information. This is the true scope of context engineering.
Further, to make our system of agents reliable, we will implement the Model Context Protocol...
