The core pattern is a dispatcher that takes a typed ParsedQuestion, selects the appropriate answer schema from a registry, and composes a system prompt from a fixed BASE plus shape-specific and constraint-specific fragments — avoiding the 'mega-prompt' anti-pattern. Key topics include: structural hints for scoping retrieval via page numbers in the question, combined vs. sequential chunk processing strategies, per-field evidence wrappers (FieldExtraction[T]) for multi-field extraction with per-field citations, citation verification against source lines, and dynamic few-shot examples retrieved from a validated example bank. The article emphasizes full trace persistence (raw API response, fragments applied, schema used) for auditability and reproducibility. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
