Report #7134

[agent\_craft] Static few-shot examples become irrelevant as the agent encounters diverse error types, causing generic fixes instead of specific error-handling patterns

Implement a retrieval-augmented few-shot system where error messages are embedded and matched against a database of error-type-specific exemplars \(e.g., ImportError examples vs IndentationError examples\); retrieve only the 2-3 most relevant exemplars for the current error signature to include in the prompt

Journey Context:
Static few-shot examples cover only a narrow slice of possible errors. When a SyntaxError example is provided but an IndentationError occurs, the model may hallucinate fixes unrelated to the actual whitespace issue. By dynamically retrieving exemplars that match the specific error type \(using regex matching or embedding similarity on error messages\), the model receives contextually relevant guidance that matches the specific failure mode, improving repair accuracy by 40%\+ in coding benchmarks.
