Report #82248

[architecture] Agent hallucinates API syntax or project structure because it relies on its pre-trained weights instead of querying its external memory or codebase index

Force a memory-first agentic loop: the system prompt must mandate that the agent queries the codebase index or knowledge base before generating code, treating its own parametric memory as untrustworthy

Journey Context:
LLMs are eager to please and will confidently output standard library patterns that don't match the specific project's versions or custom wrappers. If the agent doesn't check its memory, it creates bugs. The tradeoff is increased latency \(an extra retrieval step per turn\), but accuracy skyrockets. The agent must view its internal knowledge as hypotheses to be verified by its memory tools
