# Prompt Design

## RAG Prompt Goals

The prompt should:

- Force the model to use retrieved context
- Prevent hallucinated answers
- Ask the model to admit when context is missing
- Encourage source-aware responses
- Keep answers simple and useful

## Default Rule

If the answer is not present in the retrieved context, the model should say:

"I do not know from the provided knowledge base."

## Prompt Versioning

Every production prompt should have a version.

Example:

rag_v1.0
