多数AI Agent的失败,不是模型能力的失败,而是上下文工程的失败

不知道你有没有遇到过这种情况,辛辛苦苦搭建的AI Agent,用了一段时间就常常”掉链子”——要么理解错你的意思,要么给出莫名其妙的回答,要么干脆就”罢工”不干了。

你可能会想:是不是模型还不够强?是不是需要更先进的GPT-5?

但实际上,多数AI Agent的失败,并不是模型能力的失败,而是上下文工程(Context Engineering)的失败。

我们过度关注了模型本身的能力,却忽视了一个更关键的问题:如何让AI在正确的上下文中工作。今天我们就从系统工程的角度,深入解析上下文工程的核心原理、实施方法和最佳实践,帮你彻底搞懂这个决定AI Agent成败的关键技术。


PART 01 问题本质:AI Agent为什么总是”不靠谱”?

现象观察:技术很先进,体验很”智障”

你有没有遇到过这样的情况?

场景一:智能客服Agent

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
用户:"我想查询昨天下午3点的订单"
AI:"好的,我来帮您查询。请问您需要什么协助?"
用户:"......"

场景二:代码助手Agent

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
用户:"帮我优化这段Python代码的性能"
AI:"我很乐意协助您!但是我需要看到您的代码才能提供提议。"
用户:"代码我刚刚已经贴给你了啊!"
AI:"抱歉,我没有看到任何代码。"

场景三:数据分析Agent

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
用户:"基于刚才上传的销售数据,分析一下Q3的趋势"
AI:"请您先上传数据文件,我来帮您分析。"
用户:"数据10分钟前就上传了,你在跟我开玩笑吗?"

问题根源:不是智商问题,是”记忆力”问题

这些问题的本质是什么?不是AI不够机智,而是AI无法有效管理和利用上下文信息。

传统观点认为:

  • AI失败 = 模型能力不足
  • 解决方案 = 更强劲的模型

实际情况是:

  • AI失败 = 上下文管理失败
  • 解决方案 = 更好的上下文工程

上下文管理的三大核心挑战:

挑战一:信息丢失

ounter(lineounter(line
对话轮次:1  2  3  4  5  6
上下文保留:100%  90%  70%  40%  20%  5%

随着对话的进行,早期的重大信息逐渐丢失,AI开始”失忆”。

挑战二:信息混乱

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
当前任务:分析销售数据
上下文包含:
├─ 用户个人信息
├─ 历史聊天记录  
├─ 销售数据文件
├─ 上次分析结果
├─ 系统配置信息
└─ 无关的闲聊内容


结果:AI分不清哪些信息是相关的

挑战三:信息过载

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
输入token限制:4096 tokens
实际需要的上下文:8000+ tokens


结果:要么截断重大信息,要么拒绝执行任务


PART 02 概念解析:上下文工程到底是什么?

定义与边界:不只是”多轮对话”那么简单

上下文工程(Context Engineering)的正式定义:

上下文工程是一门系统性的工程学科,专注于设计、构建和优化AI系统中的上下文管理机制,确保AI能够在正确的信息环境中做出准确的决策和回应。

这个定义包含三个关键要素:

  1. 系统性 – 不是临时补丁,而是完整的工程体系
  2. 信息环境 – 不只是文本,还包括状态、历史、配置等
  3. 准确决策 – 最终目标是提升AI的实际表现

与相关技术的关系图谱

许多人容易混淆上下文工程与其他相关技术,我们来理清楚它们的关系:

上下文工程 vs 提示词工程

提示词工程(Prompt Engineering):

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
# 单次交互优化
prompt = """
你是一个专业的数据分析师。
请分析以下销售数据:
[数据内容...]


要求:
1. 计算增长率
2. 识别异常值
3. 提供改善提议
"""

上下文工程:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
# 多轮交互管理
class ContextManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.conversation_history = []
        self.user_profile = {}
        self.current_task_state = {}
        self.relevant_documents = []


    def update_context(self, new_info):
        # 智能选择和整合信息
        # 压缩历史对话
        # 维护任务状态
        # 动态加载相关文档

核心差异:

  • 提示词工程关注”说什么”
  • 上下文工程关注”记住什么”

上下文工程 vs RAG(检索增强生成)

RAG的工作方式:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
# 基于查询检索相关文档
def rag_process(query):
    # 1. 将查询转换为向量
    query_embedding = embed(query)


    # 2. 检索类似文档
    relevant_docs = vector_db.search(query_embedding, top_k=5)


    # 3. 拼接上下文
    context = "
".join(relevant_docs)


    # 4. 生成回答
    return llm.generate(f"{context}

Question: {query}")

上下文工程的工作方式:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
# 综合管理多种上下文源
def context_engineering_process(current_input):
    context = ContextManager()


    # 1. 历史对话上下文
    context.add_conversation_history(filter_relevant=True)


    # 2. 任务状态上下文  
    context.add_task_state(current_task)


    # 3. 用户档案上下文
    context.add_user_profile(user_id)


    # 4. 动态检索上下文(类似RAG)
    context.add_retrieved_info(query=current_input)


    # 5. 智能压缩和选择
    optimized_context = context.optimize_for_model()


    return llm.generate_with_context(optimized_context, current_input)

核心差异:

  • RAG专注于外部知识检索
  • 上下文工程管理所有类型的上下文信息

上下文工程 vs MCP(模型上下文协议)

MCP的关注点:

  • 标准化的上下文传输协议
  • 确保不同系统间的上下文兼容性
  • 技术标准和规范

上下文工程的关注点:

  • 上下文的生命周期管理
  • 信息的智能选择和优化
  • 实际业务效果的提升

关系:

  • MCP是上下文工程的基础设施
  • 上下文工程是MCP的应用实践

上下文工程的四大核心技术

根据最新的技术发展,上下文工程主要包含四个核心技术方向:

1. 上下文写入(Context Writing)

目标: 如何有效地收集和记录上下文信息

关键技术:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ContextWriter:
    def __init__(self):
        self.structured_memory = {}
        self.semantic_index = {}


    def write_interaction(self, user_input, ai_response, metadata):
        # 结构化存储
        interaction = {
            'timestamp': datetime.now(),
            'user_intent'self.extract_intent(user_input),
            'entities'self.extract_entities(user_input),
            'task_state': metadata.get('task_state'),
            'success_flag'self.evaluate_success(ai_response)
        }


        # 语义索引
        embedding = self.embed(user_input + ai_response)
        self.semantic_index[interaction['id']] = embedding


        return interaction['id']

2. 上下文选取(Context Selection)

目标: 从大量历史信息中选择最相关的内容

关键技术:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ContextSelector:
    def select_relevant_context(self, current_query, max_tokens=2000):
        candidates = []


        # 1. 语义类似度筛选
        query_embedding = self.embed(current_query)
        semantic_scores = self.compute_similarity(query_embedding)


        # 2. 时间权重调整
        time_weights = self.compute_time_decay(candidates)


        # 3. 任务相关性评分
        task_relevance = self.compute_task_relevance(current_query)


        # 4. 综合评分排序
        final_scores = (semantic_scores * 0.4 + 
                       time_weights * 0.3 + 
                       task_relevance * 0.3)


        return self.select_top_k_within_limit(candidates, final_scores, max_tokens)

3. 上下文压缩(Context Compression)

目标: 在保持关键信息的前提下减少token消耗

关键技术:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ContextCompressor:
    def compress_conversation_history(self, history, target_length):
        compressed = []


        for interaction in history:
            # 提取关键信息
            summary = self.extract_key_points(interaction)


            # 去除冗余表达
            compressed_text = self.remove_redundancy(summary)


            # 保留重大实体和关系
            entities = self.preserve_entities(interaction)


            compressed.append({
                'summary': compressed_text,
                'entities': entities,
                'importance_score'self.calculate_importance(interaction)
            })


        return self.optimize_for_target_length(compressed, target_length)

4. 上下文隔离(Context Isolation)

目标: 防止不同任务或用户间的上下文污染

关键技术:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ContextIsolator:
    def __init__(self):
        self.session_contexts = {}
        self.user_contexts = {}
        self.task_contexts = {}


    def get_isolated_context(self, user_id, session_id, task_id):
        # 用户级隔离
        user_context = self.user_contexts.get(user_id, {})


        # 会话级隔离  
        session_context = self.session_contexts.get(session_id, {})


        # 任务级隔离
        task_context = self.task_contexts.get(task_id, {})


        # 安全合并,避免泄露
        return self.secure_merge(user_context, session_context, task_context)


    def secure_merge(self, *contexts):
        # 实现权限控制和信息过滤
        # 确保敏感信息不会跨域泄露
        pass

PART 05 最佳实践:构建生产级上下文工程系统

设计原则:七大核心准则

基于大量实际项目的经验总结,我们提炼出构建高质量上下文工程系统的七大核心设计原则:

1. 渐进式信息加载(Progressive Information Loading)

原则: 根据对话的深入程度,逐步加载更详细的上下文信息。

实现策略:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ProgressiveContextLoader:
    def __init__(self):
        self.context_levels = {
            'basic': ['user_profile''current_session'],
            'intermediate': ['recent_history''task_state''preferences'],
            'advanced': ['full_history''related_documents''behavioral_patterns']
        }


    async def load_context_by_depth(self, user_id, conversation_depth):
        if conversation_depth <= 2:
            level = 'basic'
        elif conversation_depth <= 5:
            level = 'intermediate'
        else:
            level = 'advanced'


        context_components = self.context_levels[level]
        return await self._load_components(user_id, context_components)

好处:

  • 减少初始延迟
  • 节省计算资源
  • 避免信息过载

2. 智能上下文过期(Intelligent Context Expiration)

原则: 不同类型的上下文信息应该有不同的过期策略。

实现策略:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ContextExpirationManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.expiration_rules = {
            'user_preferences': timedelta(days=30),  # 偏好相对稳定
            'task_state': timedelta(hours=2),        # 任务状态短期有效
            'conversation_history': self._dynamic_expiration,  # 动态计算
            'temporary_context': timedelta(minutes=15)  # 临时信息快速过期
        }


    def _dynamic_expiration(self, context_item):
        """基于重大性和使用频率动态计算过期时间"""
        importance_score = context_item.importance_score
        last_access = context_item.last_access


        base_ttl = timedelta(days=7)
        importance_multiplier = 1 + (importance_score - 0.5)
        access_multiplier = 1 + min(context_item.access_count / 102)


        return base_ttl * importance_multiplier * access_multiplier

3. 上下文一致性检查(Context Consistency Validation)

原则: 确保不同来源的上下文信息之间保持逻辑一致性。

实现策略:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ContextConsistencyValidator:
    async def validate_context_consistency(self, context_bundle):
        inconsistencies = []


        # 检查时间一致性
        time_conflicts = self._check_temporal_consistency(context_bundle)
        if time_conflicts:
            inconsistencies.extend(time_conflicts)


        # 检查逻辑一致性
        logic_conflicts = self._check_logical_consistency(context_bundle)
        if logic_conflicts:
            inconsistencies.extend(logic_conflicts)


        # 检查实体一致性
        entity_conflicts = self._check_entity_consistency(context_bundle)
        if entity_conflicts:
            inconsistencies.extend(entity_conflicts)


        if inconsistencies:
            return await self._resolve_inconsistencies(inconsistencies)


        return context_bundle


    async def _resolve_inconsistencies(self, inconsistencies):
        """智能解决上下文冲突"""
        for conflict in inconsistencies:
            if conflict.type == 'temporal':
                # 选择最新的信息
                resolved = self._select_most_recent(conflict.conflicting_items)
            elif conflict.type == 'logical':
                # 选择置信度最高的信息
                resolved = self._select_highest_confidence(conflict.conflicting_items)
            else:
                # 标记为需要人工审核
                resolved = self._mark_for_review(conflict)


            conflict.resolved_value = resolved


        return self._apply_resolutions(inconsistencies)

4. 多模态上下文融合(Multi-modal Context Fusion)

原则: 整合文本、图像、音频等多种模态的上下文信息。

实现策略:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line

    def __init__(self):
        self.text_processor = TextContextProcessor()
        self.image_processor = ImageContextProcessor()
        self.audio_processor = AudioContextProcessor()


    async def fuse_multimodal_context(self, context_inputs):
        fused_context = {}


        # 处理各种模态
        if 'text' in context_inputs:
            text_features = await self.text_processor.extract_features(
                context_inputs['text']
            )
            fused_context['text'] = text_features


        if 'images' in context_inputs:
            image_features = await self.image_processor.extract_features(
                context_inputs['images']
            )
            fused_context['visual'] = image_features


        if 'audio' in context_inputs:
            audio_features = await self.audio_processor.extract_features(
                context_inputs['audio']
            )
            fused_context['audio'] = audio_features


        # 跨模态关联分析
        cross_modal_relations = await self._analyze_cross_modal_relations(
            fused_context
        )


        # 生成统一的上下文表明
        unified_context = await self._create_unified_representation(
            fused_context, cross_modal_relations
        )


        return unified_context

            'relevance_score': GaugeMetric('context_relevance'),
            'completeness_score': GaugeMetric('context_completeness'),
            'consistency_score': GaugeMetric('context_consistency'),
            'latency': HistogramMetric('context_latency'),
            'cache_hit_rate': GaugeMetric('context_cache_hit_rate'),

        }


    async def record_context_metrics(self, context_operation):
        # 记录相关性分数
        relevance = await self._calculate_relevance_score(context_operation)
        self.metrics['relevance_score'].set(relevance)


        # 记录完整性分数

        # 记录延迟
        self.metrics['latency'].observe(context_operation.duration)


        # 记录上下文大小
        self.metrics['context_size'].observe(context_operation.token_count)

2. 异常检测与自动恢复

异常处理机制:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class ContextExceptionHandler:
    def __init__(self):
        self.fallback_strategies = {
            'context_corruption': self._handle_corruption,
            'context_timeout': self._handle_timeout,
            'context_inconsistency': self._handle_inconsistency,
            'memory_overflow': self._handle_memory_overflow
        }


    async def handle_context_exception(self, exception, context_state):
        exception_type = self._classify_exception(exception)


        if exception_type in self.fallback_strategies:
            recovery_strategy = self.fallback_strategies[exception_type]
            return await recovery_strategy(exception, context_state)
        else:
            # 未知异常,启用安全模式
            return await self._enable_safe_mode(context_state)


    async def _handle_corruption(self, exception, context_state):
        """处理上下文损坏"""
        # 1. 从备份恢复
        backup_context = await self._restore_from_backup(context_state.user_id)


        if backup_context:
            logger.info(f"Restored context from backup for user {context_state.user_id}")
            return backup_context


        # 2. 重建基础上下文
        minimal_context = await self._rebuild_minimal_context(context_state.user_id)


        # 3. 记录异常用于分析
        await self._log_corruption_incident(exception, context_state)


        return minimal_context

PART 06 未来趋势:上下文工程的发展方向

技术演进:三大发展趋势

1. 自适应上下文管理(Adaptive Context Management)

未来的上下文工程系统将具备自我学习和优化的能力,不再需要人工调参。

核心特征:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class AdaptiveContextManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.learning_engine = ContextLearningEngine()
        self.adaptation_controller = AdaptationController()


    async def adaptive_context_selection(self, user_id, query):
        """自适应的上下文选择"""


        # 1. 基于历史成功率调整选择策略
        historical_performance = await self.learning_engine.get_performance_stats(
            user_id=user_id,
            context_type='selection_strategy'
        )


        # 2. 动态调整权重
        adaptive_weights = self.adaptation_controller.calculate_adaptive_weights(
            base_weights=self.default_weights,
            performance_feedback=historical_performance,
            current_context=query
        )


        # 3. 执行优化后的选择
        selected_context = await self._select_with_adaptive_weights(
            query, adaptive_weights
        )


        return selected_context


    async def learn_from_interaction(self, interaction_result):
        """从交互结果中学习"""


        # 提取学习信号
        learning_signals = {
            'context_relevance': interaction_result.relevance_score,
            'task_success': interaction_result.task_completed,
            'user_satisfaction': interaction_result.user_rating,
            'response_quality': interaction_result.response_quality
        }


        # 更新学习模型
        await self.learning_engine.update_model(
            context_features=interaction_result.context_features,
            outcomes=learning_signals
        )


        # 调整系统参数
        parameter_updates = await self.learning_engine.suggest_parameter_updates()
        await self.adaptation_controller.apply_updates(parameter_updates)

2. 跨模态上下文理解(Cross-modal Context Understanding)

技术方向:

  • 视觉-语言联合理解
  • 音频-文本情境融合
  • 多感官信息整合

应用示例:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class CrossModalContextProcessor:
    async def process_multimodal_input(self, text, image, audio):
        """处理多模态输入的上下文理解"""


        # 1. 各模态特征提取
        text_features = await self.text_encoder.encode(text)
        visual_features = await self.vision_encoder.encode(image)
        audio_features = await self.audio_encoder.encode(audio)


        # 2. 跨模态关联分析
        cross_modal_attention = await self.cross_modal_transformer.forward(
            text_features, visual_features, audio_features
        )


        # 3. 统一上下文表明
        unified_context = await self.context_fusion_layer.fuse(
            cross_modal_attention
        )


        return unified_context

3. 隐私保护的上下文工程(Privacy-Preserving Context Engineering)

随着隐私保护要求的提升,上下文工程需要在保护用户隐私的前提下实现个性化。

技术实现:

ounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(lineounter(line
class PrivacyPreservingContextManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.differential_privacy = DifferentialPrivacyEngine()
        self.federated_learning = FederatedContextLearning()


    async def process_sensitive_context(self, user_context, privacy_level):
        """处理敏感上下文信息"""


        if privacy_level == 'high':
            # 本地处理,不上传原始数据
            processed_context = await self._local_context_processing(user_context)


            # 添加差分隐私噪声
            noisy_context = await self.differential_privacy.add_noise(
                processed_context, epsilon=0.1
            )


            return noisy_context


        elif privacy_level == 'medium':
            # 联邦学习方式
            federated_context = await self.federated_learning.collaborative_learning(
                user_context, user_id_hash=hash(user_context.user_id)
            )


            return federated_context


        else:
            # 标准处理流程
            return await self._standard_context_processing(user_context)

随着AI应用的日益普及,“模型能力 + 上下文工程”将成为AI系统竞争力的双引擎。这个深刻洞察提醒我们,在追求更强劲AI模型的同时,更应该关注如何让AI在正确的上下文中发挥作用。只有这样,我们才能真正释放AI技术的巨大潜力,创造出真正有价值的智能应用。

下期将介绍一个上下文管理的开源项目,实操一下,在项目开发中怎么实现上下文管理。
