Context Is the New Code
summary
Claim: treat context like code with a repeatable Context Development Lifecycle (Generate, Evaluate, Distribute, Observe). Demonstrated tools and patterns: reusable agent.md rules, Claude as a judge LLM for evals, Harbor-style sandboxing, registries/manifests and Entropic/Warp-style distribution, CI runs that exercise prompts, linting of skills, runtime context firewalls, observability from agent logs, and private registries plus security scanning to manage dependency and context drift. The payoff is a feedback flywheel that compiles observability into better context and fewer agent failures.
