Example Output: RAG Knowledge Ops Agent System Blueprint
Inputs used
- Project context: a support answer engine grounded in product docs and release notes
- Target audience: AI engineers, knowledge managers, legal ops, support ops
- Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
- Available tools and data: vector database, document parser, reranker, eval set, access control list
- Desired depth: Production-ready
- Output tone: Clear operator memo
Generated Result
agent architecture, tool contract, memory policy, eval plan, and launch guardrails
Use case framing
The immediate decision is whether a support answer engine grounded in product docs and release notes is mature enough for a controlled pilot. The strongest evidence should come from source documents and chunk samples; if either source is missing, mark the recommendation as provisional rather than filling the gap with assumptions.
Agent responsibilities
The AI system may draft RAG blueprint, source policy, and retrieval eval plan, summarize chunk samples, and propose next actions. It must not make irreversible changes, approve high-impact decisions, or treat unverified assumptions as facts.
Tools and permissions
Use reranker as the primary working surface. Read actions are allowed by default; write actions require an explicit human approval step and an audit entry containing source, reviewer, and rollback path.
Memory and context
Persist only durable preferences, approved terminology, and stable project constraints. Do not store private user data, transient metrics, or unresolved claims from citation audits.
Evals and guardrails
Create at least 12 golden tasks: 6 normal cases, 3 edge cases, and 3 adversarial cases targeting stale retrieval. A passing result must cite the evidence source and state confidence.
Rollout plan
Release in three gates: internal dry run, limited pilot, then measured expansion. Each gate must show evidence that explicit unknown handling is true in practice, not only in documentation.
Recommended Decision
Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on source documents and chunk samples. Treat stale retrieval as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable RAG blueprint, source policy, and retrieval eval plan with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.
Expected quality checks
- The result is specific to RAG ingestion, retrieval quality, citation design, and knowledge base governance.
- It includes the required sections: Use case framing, Agent responsibilities, Tools and permissions, Memory and context, Evals and guardrails, Rollout plan.
- It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
- It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
- It names the most important failure mode for this domain: stale retrieval.
Reuse note
Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.
