Executive Summary (TL;DR)

The Problem

Current agentic-qe agents use limited code context:

• Only test patterns vectorized (not actual code)
• File scanning overhead (read entire files)
• No relationship modeling (dependencies, test coverage)
• High LLM costs (processing 35KB when only 1KB relevant)

The Solution

Extend existing RuVector (PostgreSQL + pgvector) to create a comprehensive knowledge graph:

• Vectorize ALL project data (code, tests, docs)
• Model semantic relationships (IMPORTS, TESTS, DOCUMENTS)
• Enable <10ms queries for intelligent context retrieval
• Reduce LLM costs by 70-81%

The Approach

8-week phased implementation:

• Week 1-2: Database schema, AST parser, embeddings
• Week 3-4: Dependency graph, test mapper, doc linker
• Week 5-6: Full project indexer, query API
• Week 7-8: Agent integration, CLI commands

The Ask

• Budget: $58,320
• Team: 1 core developer (full-time), 0.5 database engineer
• Timeline: 8 weeks
• Expected ROI: 80% LLM cost reduction

Key Highlights

GOAP Action Plan (46KB)

Comprehensive planning using Goal-Oriented Action Planning methodology:

Current State:
  {code_vectorized: false, relationships_modeled: false, llm_cost_high: true}

Architecture Highlights

Graph Schema

7 Entity Types:

• Function (parameters, return type, async)
• Class (abstract, extends, implements)
• Interface (extends, properties)
• Module (exports, imports)
• Variable (type, const/let)
• Test (test type, assertions)
• Documentation (JSDoc, Markdown)

9 Relationship Types:

• IMPORTS (module → module)
• EXPORTS (module → entity)
• TESTS (test → function)
• DOCUMENTS (doc → code)
• CALLS (function → function)
• USES (function → variable)
• IMPLEMENTS (class → interface)
• EXTENDS (class → class)
• HAS_METHOD (class → function)

Query Examples

Semantic Code Search:

SELECT ce.*,
  ruvector_cosine_distance(embedding, $1::ruvector) as distance
FROM code_entities ce
WHERE type = 'function'
  AND ruvector_cosine_distance(embedding, $1::ruvector) < 0.4
ORDER BY distance
LIMIT 10;

Impact Analysis (3-hop dependencies):

WITH RECURSIVE deps AS (
  SELECT target_id, 1 AS depth
  FROM entity_relationships
  WHERE source_id = 'UserService' AND relationship_type = 'IMPORTS'
  UNION
  SELECT er.target_id, d.depth + 1
  FROM deps d
  JOIN entity_relationships er ON d.target_id = er.source_id
  WHERE er.relationship_type = 'IMPORTS' AND d.depth < 3
)
SELECT DISTINCT ce.* FROM deps d JOIN code_entities ce ON d.target_id = ce.id;

Test Coverage Check:

SELECT ce.*
FROM code_entities ce
JOIN entity_relationships er ON ce.id = er.source_id
WHERE er.target_id = 'UserService.createUser'
  AND er.relationship_type = 'TESTS'
ORDER BY er.confidence DESC;

Alternative Approaches (Not Chosen)

Neo4j Graph Database

Why considered: Native graph performance, Cypher query language Why not chosen: $100K/year license, new dependency, learning curve When to reconsider: If graph algorithms needed (PageRank, centrality)

AgentDB Hybrid

Why considered: 150x faster vector search, quantization Why not chosen: Sync complexity, two databases to manage When to reconsider: If vector search becomes bottleneck (>10ms p99)

SQLite In-Memory

Why considered: Zero setup, portable Why not chosen: No vector search, doesn't scale, brute-force similarity When to reconsider: Never (insufficient for production)

FAQ

Q: Why extend RuVector instead of a separate system? A: Leverages existing infrastructure, team expertise, zero new dependencies. Faster time-to-market (8 weeks vs. 12+).

Q: What if we want to change embedding models later? A: Embeddings are frozen (768-dim). Reindexing takes ~8 hours for full codebase. Rarely needed.

Q: How does this differ from GitHub Copilot? A: GitHub Copilot is a code completion tool. This is a code intelligence platform for agents, enabling semantic search, dependency analysis, and test mapping.

Q: Can we start small and scale up? A: Yes. Phased approach allows stopping after any phase. Week 2 delivers single-file indexing, Week 4 adds relationships, etc.

Q: What if PostgreSQL becomes a bottleneck? A: Unlikely (192K QPS proven). If needed, read replicas scale queries horizontally. AgentDB hybrid available for v2.

Q: Is this GDPR/compliance friendly? A: Yes. All data in your PostgreSQL instance. Embeddings generated locally or via OpenAI with DPA. No third-party storage.
