### Context Engineering

The evolution beyond prompt engineering — designing the information architecture that surrounds AI agents. [Context Engineering Guide →](https://github.com/coleam00/context-engineering-intro)

| Technique | Description | Source |
|-----------|-------------|--------|
| **Steering Files** | CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md — project-level context that persists across sessions. The most impactful single change you can make. | [Documentation & Templates](#documentation--templates) |
| **Progressive Disclosure** | Don't dump everything into the prompt. Let agents discover context via file reading, --help, and tool exploration. | [Claude Code Docs](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) |
| **Context Budgeting** | Allocate context window strategically: 40% task, 30% codebase, 20% examples, 10% constraints. Measure what gets cut. | Practitioner consensus |
| **Knowledge Graphs as Context** | Feed structured relationships (not just documents) to agents. DISCOVERIES.md, architecture diagrams, dependency maps. | [HN Mega-Thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46352875) |

> **Taskade Genesis shortcut:** Workspace DNA *is* context engineering — your projects, agents, and workflows form a persistent knowledge graph that every app reads from automatically.

### Spec-Driven Development

Write specifications first, then let agents implement. Rigor migrates from code review to specs and tests.

### Vibe Coding Business Playbook

How builders are monetizing vibe-coded apps in 2026.

| Revenue Model | How It Works | Genesis Fit |
|---------------|-------------|-------------|
| **Micro-SaaS** | Build niche tools (invoice generators, booking systems) and charge monthly | One prompt = deployed SaaS with Stripe payments built in |
| **Agency / Freelance** | Build client apps 10x faster, charge the same | Clone community apps, customize per client, deploy on custom domains |
| **Templates & App Kits** | Sell pre-built app templates on marketplaces | Publish to Genesis Gallery, earn from clones and customization |
| **Internal Tools** | Replace expensive enterprise software with custom-built alternatives | Workspace DNA means apps connect to existing data instantly |
| **AI Agent Services** | Deploy trained agents as standalone products | Train on client data, share with password protection, embed anywhere |
