In their words

When it comes to context management and context engineering, I think having a good set of actually fairly simplistic setup that is reproducible across engineers, with a good set of Claude MD setups, a good set of skills that really capture the essence of the role you're trying to do or the domain you're trying to operate in. I think that's really it and don't overthink it.
