Report #90126

[agent\_craft] Agent uses a single monolithic vector store for all project knowledge, leading to noisy retrievals when searching for specific code vs. general documentation

Implement a retrieval router. Classify the information need \(e.g., code implementation, API documentation, project configuration\) and route the query to the appropriate specialized index \(AST index, Markdown index, YAML/JSON index\).

Journey Context:
A single vector store mixes apples and oranges. When an agent searches for how to authenticate, it might get a code snippet of the Auth class, a README section, and a config file. The embeddings are too similar. Routing to specialized indexes reduces the search space and increases signal-to-noise ratio. The tradeoff is the overhead of maintaining multiple indexes and a classification step, but precision in retrieval is far more important than recall for coding agents to avoid hallucination.
