Context Engineering for Agents
LangChain. Lance Martin's framework — write, select, compress, isolate — with concrete examples of when to summarise an action history, when to offload state to files, and when to spin up sub-agents purely to protect the parent's context. Maps almost directly onto the article's section on managing 1M-token windows in practice.
AI Expert note
Model names, pricing and capabilities change quickly. Use this for the decision pattern, then verify current model behavior before adopting it.
What you should get from this
Apply write, select, compress and isolate patterns to manage agent context deliberately.

DeepLearning.AIChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
Ninety minutes to a year's worth of intuition. If you've started writing code that calls an LLM — or you're about to — this is the most efficient course online for closing the gap between "playing with ChatGPT" and "shipping a feature that calls an LLM."
Coursera · Vanderbilt UniversityPrompt Engineering for ChatGPT
The academic complement to DeepLearning.AI's short course — same discipline, longer arc, written for people who don't code. Dr. White teaches prompting as a set of reusable patterns (Ask for Input, Outline Expansion, Fact Check List, Menu Actions) rather than tricks. After this you'll prompt LLMs like a designer, not a guesser.
