What problem does it solve? RAG systems fail in opaque ways: answers cite wrong sources, hallucinate facts, or go stale, and teams blame the LLM when the real bug is in retrieval or chunking. This Skill provides a structured method to bisect the pipeline, measure retrieval separately from generation, and fix the actual failure stage. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pipeline design guidance: Covers structure-aware chunking, metadata preservation, hybrid dense + BM25 retrieval with reranking, and grounded generation with verifiable citations. - Debugging decision table: Maps observed symptoms (missing answers, mangled chunks, stale results) to the failing stage and its fix zone. - Evaluation framework: Builds a gold question set and measures retrieval recall@k and generation faithfulness independently, with a review checklist for existing systems. - Use Case: Your support chatbot answers questions about refund policy incorrectly. Use this Skill to inspect retrieved chunks, discover retrieval recall is 60%, and fix hybrid search and query rewriting before touching prompts. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to review your RAG pipeline and diagnose why answers cite wrong or missing sources.
