context-engineering vs agent-droid-bridge

context-engineering: Context engineering is the practice of providing LLMs with comprehensive context from various sources. It emphasizes that quality and completeness of context matter more than prompt wording. This repository is a companion resource for a book on context engineering, containing examples and an online prompt builder.; agent-droid-bridge: Agent Droid Bridge is an MCP server that connects AI agents to Android devices and emulators over ADB. It exposes ADB functionality as structured tools for mobile automation, app testing, dynamic analysis, and reverse engineering.
