Title: I Stopped Prompting GPT-5 — This 45-Line Context Engine Fixed My Hallucinations

Most developers are still using GPT-4-style prompting on GPT-5 — and getting worse results.
I hit the same wall:
Hallucinations
Context drift
Inconsistent outputs
So instead of writing longer prompts, I built a 45-line context engine that structures the interaction instead of “prompting harder.”
Result:
Cleaner outputs
Fewer hallucinations
More predictable reasoning
This shift aligns with what we’re seeing across the ecosystem — structured frameworks outperform raw prompting, especially as models get more capable. �
Medium +1
If you're still tweaking prompts manually, you're likely solving the wrong problem.
