Use when building features that answer questions from private data, documents, policies, or time-sensitive information — RAG architecture, chunking, hybrid search, re-ranking, vector databases, evaluation, agentic and multimodal RAG, and bounded iterative retrieval for context-starved subagents.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# RAG Patterns — Retrieval-Augmented Generation

## Operating contract

## Inputs

| Input | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Domain evidence | yes | question set, authoritative corpus, tenancy and access rules, freshness target, citation needs, and evaluation set |

## Outputs

- Produce: retrieval architecture, ingestion/chunking policy, index and filter contract, grounded-answer schema, and evaluation report.

## Capability and permission boundaries

Default to read-only analysis. Read only scoped records; redact secrets and regulated data. Writes, execution, network calls, production configuration, customer communication, billing changes, and delegation require explicit authority and an identified owner. Never widen tenant, time-window, or system scope implicitly.

## Degraded mode

When required telemetry, evidence, execution, network access, or write authority is unavailable, return a partial result with each unassessed item labelled, preserve the safest existing state, and state the evidence or approval needed to continue. Never convert missing evidence into a pass.

## Decision rules

| Condition | Action |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine/ai-rag-patterns@sha256:9e0da9f63bfc6849

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.65e3315, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
