My company (actually our two amazing interns) was working on this over the summer, we abandoned it but it’s 85% of the way to doing what you want it to do: https://github.com/accretional/semantifly

We stopped working on it mostly because we had higher priorities and because I became pretty disillusioned with top-K rag. We had to build out a better workflow system anyway, and with that we could instead just have models write and run specific queries (eg list all .ts files containing the word “DatabaseClient”), and otherwise have their context set by users explicitly.

The problem with RAG is that simplistic implementations distract and slow down models. You probably need an implementation that makes multiple passes to prune the context down to what you need to get good results, but that’s complicated enough that you might want to build something else that gives you more bang for your buck.



Thanks for the excellent comment & insight!
