Report #58316
[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves massive documents \(whole files\) or tiny disconnected sentences, leading to context bloat or lack of grounding
Chunk at the semantic boundary \(e.g., function level, class level\) and include the parent context \(e.g., file path, class name\) in the metadata, injecting it as a prefix to the chunk.
Journey Context:
Fixed-size chunking \(e.g., 512 tokens\) splits code mid-function, destroying semantic coherence. The agent sees a variable but not the function signature. Semantic chunking preserves logic, and adding metadata prevents the 'floating code snippet' problem where the agent doesn't know where the code belongs in the project structure.
