Prompt Injection Defense: Secure LLM Agents by Design

Build prompt-injection-resistant LLM applications with explicit trust boundaries, least privilege, deterministic tool authorization, provenance-aware data flow, egress controls, bound user confirmations, sandboxing, and adaptive security evaluations. Covers direct, indirect, RAG, memory, multimodal, MCP, and persistent attacks.

3

Context Engineering: Selection, Evidence, and State for LLM Systems

A practical, provider-neutral guide to context engineering for LLM and Agent systems. Design a context contract, select and retrieve evidence, compress without losing meaning, persist state with provenance and deletion, budget tokens and latency, defend against untrusted content, and evaluate context changes with task-level evidence.

4

Context Engineering in Practice: Build an Auditable Task Packet

A hands-on companion to context engineering for coding and Agent workflows. Build a bounded task packet, select versioned evidence, maintain durable decisions without treating memory as authority, compress with source links, measure retrieval and cache behavior, and verify permissions, privacy, quality, latency, cost, and rollback.

7

Tokens and Context Windows: A Versioned Engineering Guide

Understand tokenization, context-window budgets, and long-context failure modes without relying on stale model tables or character-per-token rules. This guide explains tokenizer boundaries, input/output reservations, safe truncation, cost reconciliation, chunking, caching, multilingual measurement, and task-level evaluation.

8

LLM Tool Calling: Production Architecture and Safety

Build reliable LLM tool-calling systems with strict schemas, deterministic dispatch, real-user authorization, idempotency, bounded loops, timeout and retry policy, safe parallelism, untrusted tool-result handling, observability, and evaluation. Explains OpenAI, Anthropic, structured outputs, and MCP boundaries.

Advanced Cursor: Building an Efficient Team-Level Prompt Template Library

A version-aware guide to team rules and prompt templates for Cursor. Learn how to separate project conventions from security policy, review generated changes, version scenario prompts, measure failure modes, and evolve shared AI-assisted development guidance without treating instructions as a guarantee.

10

Cursor and TRAE: Auditable Context and Refactoring Workflows

Build reliable Cursor and TRAE coding workflows with version-aware rules, explicit file scope, reviewable plans, tests, and rollback. This guide separates provider features from general Prompt practice and avoids unsupported success-rate claims or hard tool promotion.

11

Chain-of-Thought Prompting: A Production Guide for 2026

Use chain-of-thought prompting without treating visible explanations as hidden model reasoning. Compare direct answers, decomposition, few-shot CoT, self-consistency, verifiers, and Tree of Thoughts; then choose a strategy by model, task, accuracy, latency, privacy, and evaluation requirements.

13

Context Engineering: System-Level Architecture for AI Workflows

Design a versioned context architecture for AI coding workflows. This guide separates provider-specific rule files, reusable prompts, MCP tools, retrieval, evaluation, security, precedence, and token budgets without treating any filename as a universal standard.

14

AGENTS.md: A Versioned Context Contract for Coding Agents

A practical guide to writing AGENTS.md-style context contracts for coding Agents. Separate project guidance from trusted policy and secrets, pin supported tool behavior, define scoped tasks and evidence, defend against instruction injection, and require tests, review, least-privilege tools, and reversible changes instead of trusting natural-language instructions.

15

AI Coding Context Artifacts: Govern Instructions, Prompts, and Agents

A practical guide to governing instruction files, prompt templates, and Agent profiles for AI coding. Pin host-tool behavior, distinguish untrusted context from trusted policy, define scope and evidence, defend against injection, use least-privilege tools, and validate changes through tests, review, and reversible rollout.
