# 1. Initialize context with GraphRAG (Hybrid Retrieval)
context = AgentContext(
vector_store=vs,
knowledge_graph=kg,
graph_expansion=True,
hybrid_alpha=0.7
)
# 2. Enrich Knowledge Graph using Logical Reasoning
reasoner = Reasoner()
# Add a rule to categorize technology stack items
reasoner.add_rule("IF Library(?x) AND Language(?y) THEN TechStackItem(?x)")
# Infer new facts from the existing graph
all_facts = kg.get_all_triplets()
inferred = reasoner.infer_facts(all_facts)
# Add inferred knowledge back to the graph
for fact_str in inferred:
kg.add_fact_from_string(fact_str)
# 3. Retrieve context for a query (now with enriched knowledge)
results = context.retrieve("What technologies are used in this project?")
