Real commands run against a real, unmodified checkout of github.com/plausible/analytics (analytics/) to produce every raw input file in this directory. Every grep baseline and EKOS response here is real output from these exact commands, run in this order. --- Q1: "What columns does the imported_browsers table have?" --- # Baseline 1 -- best-case targeted grep: the agent already knows this is the # right file and the right line before searching. Not realistic, included # for honesty (it's the one case grep wins). $ grep -A 15 "CREATE TABLE plausible_events_db.imported_browsers" \ priv/ingest_repo/structure.sql -> saved as q1-grep-targeted.txt # Baseline 2 -- realistic grep: the agent does not know which file has the # real schema, so it searches the whole repo with context lines, the way an # agentic coding tool actually would. $ grep -rln "imported_browsers" --include="*" . | grep -v '^\./\.ekos' -> 32 real files matched $ grep -rn -C3 "imported_browsers" --include="*" . | grep -v '^\./\.ekos' -> saved as q1-grep-realistic-repo-wide.txt # Baseline 3 -- naive: the agent found the one correct file (structure.sql, # via baseline 2's grep) and just reads the whole thing. $ wc -l priv/ingest_repo/structure.sql # 366 lines $ wc -c priv/ingest_repo/structure.sql # 11,962 bytes -> tokenized directly from the real repo file, not copied here # EKOS side -- the same two-step "I don't know the id yet" reality: search, # then fetch state for the match, over real MCP stdio JSON-RPC. $ ekos mcp serve --workspace analytics/ -> tools/call ekos_search {"query":"imported_browsers"} saved as q1-ekos-search-response.json -> tools/call ekos_state {"id":""} saved as q1-ekos-state-response.json --- Q2: "What tables exist in the Postgres schema?" --- # grep/naive baseline -- there is no grep pattern that cleanly extracts # "every CREATE TABLE name" without also matching migration files, test # fixtures, and ALTER TABLE statements naming the same tables; the realistic # way an agent answers this from raw source is reading the whole dump. $ wc -l priv/repo/structure.sql # 2,738 lines $ wc -c priv/repo/structure.sql # 78,793 bytes -> tokenized directly from the real repo file, not copied here # EKOS side -- one structured query against the already-compiled ledger. $ ekos ekl "FIND Object WHERE kind = 'Table' AND name CONTAINS 'public'" -> saved as q2-ekos-ekl-list.txt (42 real tables) --- Token counting --- $ python3 count-tokens.py -> saved as count-tokens-output.txt tiktoken's cl100k_base encoding (GPT-4-class, a standard reference tokenizer) was used throughout -- not a hand-rolled words/4 heuristic.
