An agent that knows which pygame you are actually running
This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path One: Ship an Agent That Queries Real Content What I Built pygame and pygame-ce are two separate distributions of the same library. They install under the same pygame namespace, cannot coexist in one environment, and share most of their API. They also maintain two separate documentation sites, and they have drifted: each has functions, classes…
A developer created an agent that can determine which version of the Pygame library a user has installed, addressing an issue where documentation often fails to specify whether a function is available in one distribution or the other. Pygame and Pygame-CE are two separate distributions of the same library that cannot coexist in the same environment and have separate APIs.
The agent was trained using the API references from both documentation sites, indexing 42 pages from each. It then built knowledge bases for both distributions, presenting information side-by-side when there were discrepancies, rather than choosing one over the other. The agent uses machine-readable verdict lines to clearly indicate the capabilities of each distribution.
Initial testing revealed that the agent had a few issues with negative and scope handling, but after correcting the prompt and rescoring the responses, it achieved a 7/7 accuracy rate in answering the evaluation questions, indicating it was working correctly.
