Your AI agent is rediscovering 85% of its context every run. Here's the architecture fix (+ Contract Spec, Failure Triage, and Stack ADR)
There’s a debate going on right now about whether vector search is obsolete. That’s the wrong layer to be arguing about. The agents I’m watching fail in production aren’t failing because the retrieval method is wrong — they’re failing because the retrieval system can’t assemble what the agent actually needs before it starts acting.
TL;DR
- The debate about vector search being obsolete is focusing on the wrong issue.
- AI agents are failing in production.
- Failures are not caused by the retrieval method.
- The root cause of failure is the retrieval system's inability to assemble required information prior to agent action.
