Diagnose context degradation in LLM agents — find where memory breaks and how to fix it
Project description
context-lens
Tells you where your LLM agent's memory breaks, at what token count, and how to fix it.
pip install reguliq-diagnostics
Quickstart
from context_lens.engine.measurement import measure_context_health
from context_lens.reporter import Reporter
# 1. Probe your agent's context window
result = measure_context_health(
agent_name="my-rag-agent",
haystack=my_background_text,
needle="The Q3 revenue was $4.2M",
question="What was Q3 revenue?",
expected="4.2M",
)
# 2. Run all 6 classifiers
report = Reporter().run(result)
# 3. View results
report.summary() # terminal output
report.save("report.html") # open in browser
What it finds
| Pattern | What it means | Severity |
|---|---|---|
beginning_anchored |
Model retrieves facts only from the first 15% of context | HIGH |
cliff_detector |
Accuracy drops >20% between adjacent token counts | HIGH |
distractor_confusion |
Near-miss facts in context cause wrong answers | HIGH |
tool_burial |
Accuracy collapses after 3rd+ sequential tool call | MEDIUM |
instruction_drift |
System-prompt constraints weaken over conversation turns | MEDIUM |
recency_bias |
Model ignores everything except the last 20% of context | MEDIUM |
Demo
ReguliQ (production LangGraph agent) — healthy
Instrumented with real LangGraph callbacks. Peak context: 965 tokens. At that scale, Claude Haiku retrieves with 100% accuracy.
context-lens: ReguliQ
score: A | mean accuracy: 100.0% | 5 classifiers run
no patterns detected — context health looks good
Synthetic unhealthy agent — context degradation detected
Beginning-anchored retrieval + cliff at 30K tokens.
context-lens: my-rag-agent (synthetic)
score: F | mean accuracy: 35.0% | 5 classifiers run
cliff: 30,000 tokens
4 pattern(s) detected:
[MEDIUM] beginning_anchored conf=0.50
[MEDIUM] cliff_detector conf=0.58
[HIGH ] tool_burial conf=0.62
[HIGH ] instruction_drift conf=0.62
