[agent\_craft] Static few-shot examples waste context window and mislead the model when the examples don't match the target language or pattern

Use dynamic few-shot selection: retrieve the 2-3 most relevant examples from a corpus using embedding similarity to the current task description, rather than hard-coding examples in the system prompt.

Journey Context:
Static examples become stale as codebases evolve. Embedding-based selection \(e.g., using text-embedding-3-small\) ensures examples match the current domain \(React vs. Vue, Python vs. Rust\). The tradeoff is latency \(retrieval time\) vs. accuracy. Cache the embedding of the task description to amortize cost.
