About this session
In this workshop we'll explore the importance of context engines in modern engineering workflows, and we'll look at why traditional RAG techniques are no longer enough to deliver the context agents need. We'll build a structured query engine that fills the gaps left by RAG, translating natural language into validated database queries over GitHub PR and Issue data. We'll implement schema-aware prompting, identity resolution, query validation, and error-driven retry loops, and you'll walk away with a working query engine for your GitHub repository.
