Prompt engineering was just trying to fit all the context into one prompt - but actually there would often be a series of prompts both positive and negative so...

I get coining a new term and that can be useful in itself but I don't see a big conceptual jump here.

It's not a big contextual jump. It's trying to solve for the problem where a lot of people think "prompt engineering" means "typing a prompt into a chatbot" - and the related problem that many people haven't yet realized you can (and should) dump documents, examples and other long-form content into an LLM to get good results.
