上下文工程(Context Engineering)对于 Agent 得出正确的结果至关重要。模型回答不好,很多时候不是因为能力不足,而是因为没有获得足以推断出正确结果的上下文信息。通过上下文工程,增强 Agent 获取和管理上下文的能力,是很有必要的。
LangGraph 将上下文分为三种类型:
模型上下文(Model Context)
工具上下文(Tool Context)
生命周期上下文(Life-cycle Context)
无论哪种 Context,都需要定义它的 Schema。在这方面,LangGraph 提供了相当高的自由度,你可以使用 dataclasses、pydantic、TypedDict 这些包的任意一个创建你的 Context Schema.

一、动态修改系统提示词¶
上下文工程与前序章节的中间件(middleware)和记忆(memory)密不可分。上下文的具体实现依赖中间件,而上下文的存储则依赖记忆系统。具体来讲,LangGraph 预置了 @dynamic_prompt 中间件,用于动态修改系统提示词。
既然是动态修改,肯定需要某个条件来触发修改。除了开发触发逻辑,我们还需要从智能体中获取触发逻辑所需的即时变量。这些变量通常存储在以下三个存储介质中:
运行时(Runtime)- 所有节点共享一个 Runtime。同一时刻,所有节点取到的 Runtime 的值是相同的。一般用于存储时效性要求较高的信息。
短期记忆(State)- 在节点之间按顺序传递,每个节点接收上一个节点处理后的 State。主要用于存储 Prompt 和 AI Message。
长期记忆(Store)- 负责持久化存储,可以跨 Workflow / Agent 保存信息。可以用来存用户偏好、以前算过的统计值等。
以下三个例子,分别演示如何使用来自 Runtime、State、Store 中的上下文,编写触发条件。
1)使用 State 管理上下文¶
利用 State 中蕴含的信息操纵 system prompt.
@dynamic_prompt
def state_aware_prompt(request: ModelRequest) -> str:
# request.messages is a shortcut for request.state["messages"]
message_count = len(request.messages)
base = "You are a helpful assistant."
if message_count > 6:
base += "\nThis is a long conversation - be extra concise."
# 临时打印base看效果
print(base)
return base
agent = create_agent(
model=llm,
middleware=[state_aware_prompt]
)
result = agent.invoke(
{"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "广州今天的天气怎么样?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "广州天气很好"},
{"role": "user", "content": "吃点什么好呢"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "要不要吃香茅鳗鱼煲"},
{"role": "user", "content": "香茅是什么"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "香茅又名柠檬草,常见于泰式冬阴功汤、越南烤肉"},
{"role": "user", "content": "auv 那还等什么,咱吃去吧"},
]},
)
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()You are a helpful assistant.
This is a long conversation - be extra concise.
================================ Human Message =================================

把 message_count > 6 里的 6 改成 7,试试看会发生什么。
2)使用 Store 管理上下文¶
@dataclass
class Context:
user_id: str
@dynamic_prompt
def store_aware_prompt(request: ModelRequest) -> str:
user_id = request.runtime.context.user_id
# Read from Store: get user preferences
store = request.runtime.store
user_prefs = store.get(("preferences",), user_id)
base = "You are a helpful assistant."
if user_prefs:
style = user_prefs.value.get("communication_style", "balanced")
base += f"\nUser prefers {style} responses."
return base
store = InMemoryStore()
agent = create_agent(
model=llm,
middleware=[store_aware_prompt],
context_schema=Context,
store=store,
)
# 预置两条偏好信息
store.put(("preferences",), "user_1", {"communication_style": "Chinese"})
store.put(("preferences",), "user_2", {"communication_style": "Korean"})# 用户1喜欢中文回复
result = agent.invoke(
{"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant. Please be extra concise."},
{"role": "user", "content": 'What is a "hold short line"?'}
]},
context=Context(user_id="user_1"),
)
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()================================ System Message ================================
You are a helpful assistant. Please be extra concise.
================================ Human Message =================================
What is a "hold short line"?
================================== Ai Message ==================================
**停住线**(Hold Short Line)是机场跑道上的标记线,指示飞机在此处停下等待,不得越过进入跑道。
- **作用**:确保飞机在获得塔台许可前不进入活跃跑道
- **位置**:通常位于跑道入口处或交叉跑道前
- **外观**:由四条黄色线条组成(两条实线+两条虚线)
- **重要性**:防止跑道入侵事故,保障飞行安全
飞行员必须在停住线前完全停下,直到获得空中交通管制的明确指令才能继续滑行。
# 用户2喜欢韩文回复
result = agent.invoke(
{"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant. Please be extra concise."},
{"role": "user", "content": 'What is a "hold short line"?'}
]},
context=Context(user_id="user_2"),
)
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()================================ System Message ================================
You are a helpful assistant. Please be extra concise.
================================ Human Message =================================
What is a "hold short line"?
================================== Ai Message ==================================
'Hold short line'은 공항 활주로나 터미널 근처에서 항공기나 차량이 멈춰야 하는 안전선을 말합니다. 이 선을 넘어서면 다른 항공기와 충돌할 위험이 있습니다.
3)使用 Runtime 管理上下文¶
@dataclass
class Context:
user_role: str
deployment_env: str
@dynamic_prompt
def context_aware_prompt(request: ModelRequest) -> str:
# Read from Runtime Context: user role and environment
user_role = request.runtime.context.user_role
env = request.runtime.context.deployment_env
base = "You are a helpful assistant."
if user_role == "admin":
base += "\nYou can use the get_weather tool."
else:
base += "\nYou are prohibited from using the get_weather tool."
if env == "production":
base += "\nBe extra careful with any data modifications."
return base
@tool
def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
"""Get weather for a given city."""
return f"It's always sunny in {city}!"
agent = create_agent(
model=llm,
tools=[get_weather],
middleware=[context_aware_prompt],
context_schema=Context,
checkpointer=InMemorySaver(),
)# 利用 Runtime 中的两个变量,动态控制 System prompt
# 将 user_role 设为 admin,允许使用天气查询工具
config = {'configurable': {'thread_id': str(uuid.uuid4())}}
result = agent.invoke(
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "广州今天的天气怎么样?"}]},
context=Context(user_role="admin", deployment_env="production"),
config=config,
)
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()================================ Human Message =================================

result = agent.invoke(
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "广州今天的天气怎么样?"}]},
context=Context(user_role="viewer", deployment_env="production"),
config=config,
)
for message in result['messages']:

result['messages'][HumanMessage(content='广州今天的天气怎么样?', additional_kwargs={}, response_metadata={}, id='cdfd2f2a-3252-4b1b-afea-bd11d3bb7c2c'),

LangGraph 预制了动态修改消息列表(Messages)的中间件 @wrap_model_call。上一节已经演示如何从 State、Store、Runtime 中获取上下文,本节将不再一一演示。在下面这个例子中,我们主要演示如何使用 Runtime 将本地文件的内容注入消息列表。
@dataclass
class FileContext:
uploaded_files: list[dict]
@wrap_model_call
def inject_file_context(
request: ModelRequest,
handler: Callable[[ModelRequest], ModelResponse]
) -> ModelResponse:
"""Inject context about files user has uploaded this session."""
uploaded_files = request.runtime.context.uploaded_files
try:
base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
except Exception:
import ipynbname
notebook_path = ipynbname.path()
base_dir = os.path.dirname(notebook_path)
file_sections = []
for file in uploaded_files:
name, ftype = "", ""
path = file.get("path")
if path:
base_filename = os.path.basename(path)
stem, ext = os.path.splitext(base_filename)
name = stem or base_filename
ftype = (ext.lstrip(".") if ext else None)
# 构建文件描述内容
content_list = [f"名称: {name}"]
if ftype:
content_list.append(f"类型: {ftype}")
# 解析相对路径为绝对路径
abs_path = path if os.path.isabs(path) else os.path.join(base_dir, path)
# 读取文件内容
content_block = ""
if abs_path and os.path.exists(abs_path):
try:
with open(abs_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
content_block = f.read()
except Exception as e:
content_block = f"[读取文件错误 '{abs_path}': {e}]"
else:
content_block = "[文件路径缺失或未找到]"
section = (
f"---\n"
f"{chr(10).join(content_list)}\n\n"
f"{content_block}\n"
f"---"
)
file_sections.append(section)
file_context = (
"已加载的会话文件:\n"
f"{chr(10).join(file_sections)}"
"\n回答问题时请参考这些文件。"
)
# Inject file context before recent messages
messages = [
*request.messages,
{"role": "user", "content": file_context},
]
request = request.override(messages=messages)
return handler(request)
agent = create_agent(
model=llm,
middleware=[inject_file_context],
context_schema=FileContext,
)result = agent.invoke(
{
"messages": [{
"role": "user",
"content": "关于上海地铁的无脸乘客,有什么需要注意的?",
}],
},
context=FileContext(uploaded_files=[{"path": "./docs/rule_horror.md"}]),
)
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()================================ Human Message =================================
关于上海地铁的无脸乘客,有什么需要注意的?
================================== Ai Message ==================================
根据《上海规则怪谈》中的"地铁上的陌生人"规则,关于上海地铁的无脸乘客,需要注意以下几点:
**触发条件:**
- 必须在地铁运营结束后仍身处车厢内
**危险行为:**
- 遇到无脸乘客时保持沉默
- 说出不存在的上海地名
**正确应对方式:**
- 当无脸乘客问"你要去哪?"时,只能报一个真实存在的上海地名
**严重后果:**
- 违反规则会导致你在车厢内看到自己的尸体
**生存要点:**
- 确保对上海地名有足够的了解,避免说出不存在的地名
- 即使感到恐惧也要及时回应,不能选择沉默
- 只能说真实的上海地名,不能编造或含糊其辞
这是涉及生命安全的重要规则,必须严格遵守。
三、在工具中使用上下文¶
下面,我们尝试在工具中使用存储在 SqliteStore 中的上下文信息。
# 删除SQLite数据库
if os.path.exists("user-info.db"):
os.remove("user-info.db")
# 创建SQLite存储
conn = sqlite3.connect("user-info.db", check_same_thread=False, isolation_level=None)
conn.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;")
conn.execute("PRAGMA busy_timeout = 30000;")
store = SqliteStore(conn)
# 预置两条用户信息
store.put(("user_info",), "柳如烟", {"description": "清冷才女,身怀绝技,为寻身世之谜踏入江湖。", "birthplace": "吴兴县"})
store.put(("user_info",), "苏慕白", {"description": "孤傲剑客,剑法超群,背负家族血仇,隐于市井追寻真相。", "birthplace": "杭县"})1)基础用例¶
使用 ToolRuntime
@tool
def fetch_user_data(
user_id: str,
runtime: ToolRuntime
) -> str:
"""
Fetch user information from the in-memory store.
:param user_id: The unique identifier of the user.
:param runtime: The tool runtime context injected by the framework.
:return: The user's description string if found; an empty string otherwise.
"""
store = runtime.store
user_info = store.get(("user_info",), user_id)
user_desc = ""
if user_info:
user_desc = user_info.value.get("description", "")
return user_desc
agent = create_agent(
model=llm,
tools=[fetch_user_data],
store=store,
)result = agent.invoke({
"messages": [{
"role": "user",
"content": "五分钟之内,我要柳如烟的全部信息"
}]
})
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()================================ Human Message =================================
五分钟之内,我要柳如烟的全部信息
================================== Ai Message ==================================
柳如烟的信息我目前无法直接获取,因为系统中没有关于她的数据记录。如果你有具体的背景或情境描述,可以进一步说明,或许我可以提供相关帮助。但请注意,任何人物信息的获取都应合法合规,尊重个人隐私。
2)复杂一点的例子¶
使用 ToolRuntime[Context]
@dataclass
class Context:
key: str
@tool
def fetch_user_data(
user_id: str,
runtime: ToolRuntime[Context]
) -> str:
"""
Fetch user information from the in-memory store.
:param user_id: The unique identifier of the user.
:param runtime: The tool runtime context injected by the framework.
:return: The user's description string if found; an empty string otherwise.
"""
key = runtime.context.key
store = runtime.store
user_info = store.get(("user_info",), user_id)
user_desc = ""
if user_info:
user_desc = user_info.value.get(key, "")
return f"{key}: {user_desc}"
agent = create_agent(
model=llm,
tools=[fetch_user_data],
store=store,
)result = agent.invoke(
{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "五分钟之内,我要柳如烟的全部信息"}]},
context=Context(key="birthplace"),
)
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()================================ Human Message =================================
五分钟之内,我要柳如烟的全部信息
================================== Ai Message ==================================
柳如烟的信息我目前无法直接获取,因为系统中没有关于她的数据记录。如果你有具体的用户ID或其他相关信息,可以提供给我,以便进一步查询或确认。否则,可能需要通过其他途径来获取柳如烟的相关信息。如果有任何其他问题或需求帮助,请随时告诉我!
四、压缩上下文¶
LangChain 提供了内置的中间件 SummarizationMiddleware 用于压缩上下文。该中间件维护的是典型的 生命周期上下文,与 模型上下文 和 工具上下文 的瞬态更新不同,生命周期上下文会持续更新:持续将旧消息替换为摘要。
除非上下文超长,导致模型能力降低,否则不需要使用 SummarizationMiddleware。一般来说,触发摘要的值可以设得较大。比如:
max_tokens_before_summary: 3000messages_to_keep: 20
如果你想了解更多关于上下文腐坏(Context Rot)的信息,Chroma 团队在 2025 年 7 月 14 日发布的 Context Rot: How Increasing Input Tokens Impacts LLM Performance,系统性地揭示了长上下文导致模型性能退化的现象。
# 创建短期记忆
checkpointer = InMemorySaver()
# 创建带内置摘要中间件的Agent
# 为了让配置能在我们的例子里生效,这里的触发值设得很小
agent = create_agent(
model=llm,
middleware=[
SummarizationMiddleware(
model=llm,
trigger=('tokens', 40), # Trigger summarization at 40 tokens
keep=('messages', 1), # Keep last 1 messages after summary
),
],
)result = agent.invoke(
{"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "广州今天的天气怎么样?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "广州天气很好"},
{"role": "user", "content": "吃点什么好呢"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "要不要吃香茅鳗鱼煲"},
{"role": "user", "content": "香茅是什么"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "香茅又名柠檬草,常见于泰式冬阴功汤、越南烤肉"},
{"role": "user", "content": "auv 那还等什么,咱吃去吧"},
]},
checkpointer=checkpointer,
)
for message in result['messages']:
message.pretty_print()================================ Human Message =================================
Here is a summary of the conversation to date:
