Who it is forA tech lead or reviewer who needs to explain why an agent made a bad change and wants to see exactly what it was told.
The problemWithout a record of the retrieval inputs, it is hard to tell whether the agent or the context caused a bad change.
The outcomeThe same task text against the same commit returns the same ranking, so the failing stage can be found and fixed.
What you need first
- Docker with Docker Compose, to run PostgreSQL 16 with Apache AGE and pgvector
- Python with pip
- A local repository to index
- A coding agent that can call MCP tools, or the bce command line
Steps
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -dpip install bgts-context-enginebce migratebce index --repo /path/to/your/repo --name my-servicebce context --task "fix the login timeout in the meeting webhook" --no-select(inferred, check the README)bce bench
Prompt for your agent
Using the bgts-context-engine repository, index <target repo path> at the commit <commit id>, then run bce context with the task <task text> and the flag --no-select. Expected output: the byte-exact context pack. Verify by running the same command again and confirming the output matches.
Caveat. The README says bce bench checks determinism by running each case repeatedly, but the case format is not in the text provided, so check its arguments in the docs before use.
