Master context engineering for Claude Code to deliver precise results and avoid hallucinations

Original Description

Learn context engineering for Claude Code. This is the difference between sessions that drift and sessions that deliver exactly what you need. Every token in your context window competes for attention. Too much context and Claude loses focus. Too little and it fills in the blanks with hallucinations. This video walks through the commands, workflows, and tricks that keep your context clean and your results sharp. What you will learn: - Why context is your attention budget - The /context command for visualizing usage - Why auto-compact hurts you and what to do instead - Manual summarization with progress files - The subagent trick for deep research without polluting context - Selective context loading with @ references - The /compact command with custom instructions - 6 pro tips for context mastery Timestamps: 0:00 - Why context engineering matters 1:05 - The Context Window 1:57 - /Context command 3:11 - Subagent context isolation trick 4:08 - Selective context loading 5:09 - The /compact command with instructions 5:39 - Pro tips summary Getting Started with Claude Code (Episode 0): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZGbKvM1bIM Claude Code Shortcuts (Episode 1): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm9mb9GD3Yc CLAUDE.md and Memory (Episode 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7QJL2_gEXA&t How Claude Code Works: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/how-claude-code-works Claude Code Documentation: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/cl...
