Report #12680

[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves irrelevant documentation or code snippets because the query is too vague or conflates multiple intents

Use a query-rewriting step before retrieval: have the agent generate 2-3 specific search queries based on its current sub-goal, rather than using the raw user prompt or a single vague thought.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG pipelines embed the user's prompt directly. In agentic workflows, the user's prompt is often too broad. The agent knows the specific sub-goal. Rewriting the query to match the retrieval index's vocabulary \(which is usually documentation/code, not conversational\) dramatically increases precision.
