Report #14437
[agent\_craft] RAG pipeline injects irrelevant code snippets that confuse the agent's code generation
Implement a two-stage retrieval: broad semantic search followed by an LLM-as-a-judge relevance filter or cross-encoder reranker before injecting into the agent's context window.
Journey Context:
Naive RAG injects top-K results directly. If K is too high, irrelevant code acts as a distraction, increasing hallucination probability \(lost-in-the-middle effect\). If K is too low, you miss context. Reranking outside the main agent context window ensures only high-signal, task-relevant code occupies the expensive generation context.
