Kontext Backlog Updated: Quality & Cost Focus

Updated Kontext embeddings layer backlog item to emphasize quality/cost benefits over speed

Output

✅ Kontext Backlog Updated

Revised item #16 to emphasize quality and cost benefits rather than speed gains.

Key Changes

Before "Smart context retrieval for both paths"
After "Intelligent context selection for quality & cost"
Note added "Adds ~200-450ms overhead. Value is quality/cost, not speed."

Why This Matters

  • Quality: Relevant context → better responses (vs dumping entire CLAUDE.md)
  • Cost: Smaller context → fewer tokens → lower API costs
  • Not speed: Embedding lookup adds latency, but the trade-off is worth it

Updated VIBE.md Entry (#16)

#### 16. Kontext Embeddings Layer [LOW]

Intelligent context selection for quality & cost optimization.

Why: Blindly including entire CLAUDE.md wastes tokens.
       Embedding-based retrieval fetches only relevant context.

Unlocks:
  • Better response quality (relevant context only)
  • Cost reduction (smaller prompts)
  • Foundation for multi-codebase support

Note: Adds ~200-450ms overhead.
       Value is quality/cost, not speed.
