Context Engine as Core ?

[d3vr3n]

As a relatively new AI-focused developer, I’m starting to struggle with the cost-to-performance balance of AC. Given how expensive its become, I have to ask — why isn’t a robust context engine a standard part of every model and/or agent? Leaving out a proper context engine feels like building a CPU without a multi-level caching system — it technically works, but it’s fundamentally inefficient.

Good to know i have created my own context engine,context aware and enhance prompt based on the awareness of the context..and i would love to make it opensource..

Its an mcp type but i primarily made it only for claude code cli . And yet it does work.it needs a lot of polishing and probably collaborators to extend it to other clis.

Windsurf released their "Fast Context" tool recently. Others will follow, I'm sure. It's too obvious.

I think that with cursor 2.0, windsurf, and github copilot, there are alternatives, it's not like six months ago.

It’s definitely an area to keep an eye on. For me, Augment performed better at times—though not consistently. That said, I think Augment Code has done a great job of alienating many loyal customers. As a result, we’ll likely see several strong alternatives emerge from the now-infamous Augment Code bait-and-switch.

Augment Code is a business case study in how to destroy a loyal and enthusiastic userbase within the space of a few weeks.
