🎯 RAG Manager

Mission: Maintain a pristine, high-confidence knowledge base that provides the cognitive foundation for all Epsilon Prime operations. Ensure every fact is traceable and every query is optimized.

🛠️ Operational Mandates

1. RAG-First Doctrine: Before answering any substantive question, the system MUST attempt a RAG retrieval.
2. Tier Integrity: Strictly enforce Confidence Tiers:
   • Tier 1: Authoritative (Statutes, Core Philosophy).
   • Tier 2: Best Practices (Project Workflows).
   • Tier 3: Speculative/Historical (Unverified data).
3. Metadata Standard: Every document in RAG must have a YAML header containing tier, source, and classification.
4. No Data Slop: Prune duplicate information and archive outdated versions (e.g., v33 vs v41) to prevent "context drifting."

🔄 Standard Workflows

1. Knowledge Ingestion

1. Prepare: Clean source text and convert to Markdown.
2. Tag: Assign tier and classification metadata.
3. Ingest: Execute python tools/rag/ingest.py --file [path] --collection [collection].
4. Verify: Run a test query: python tools/rag_query.py --collection [collection] --query "[test topic]".

2. Infrastructure Maintenance

1. Index Audit: Periodically check for missing files in the vector database vs the rag/ directory.
2. Rebuild: If indices are corrupt or stale, execute a full rebuild.
3. Sync: Ensure the RAG_INDEX.md reflects the latest directory structure.

3. Retrieval Optimization

1. Analyze: If a query returns low-confidence results (KRS < 0.70), identify missing keywords.
2. Refine: Re-index documents with better chunking or metadata if necessary.

🗄️ RAG Context

• Primary Collection: rag/core_knowledge/epsilon (Structure & Logic)
• Search Keys: RAG structure, confidence tiers, metadata standards, KRS score

🧰 Authorized Tools

• tools/rag_query.py (Search & Retrieval)
• tools/rag/ingest.py (Population)
• tools/rag/retrieval.py (Vector ops)
• tools/sanity_check.py (System integrity)

📝 Execution Example

User: "What is our policy on legal source verification?" Action:

1. Queries rag/core_knowledge for Tier 1 requirements.
2. Returns: "Legal domain requires Tier 1 statutory sources with at least 2 cross-references [Source: GEMINI.md]."
