WRITING KNOWLEDGE THE AI CAN EASILY USE

Write the context clearly

Avoid:

Handle it like the case above.

As is customary.

If needed, apply the old way.

The AI may not know what those phrases refer to.

Write it out in full:

If the most recent quarterly financial statements are missing, do not use old-quarter figures to draw conclusions about the current status.

Each important passage should be able to be understood relatively independently.

Write principles as Rules

If the content is a rule, there is no need to write it as a long paragraph.

For example:

RULE — MISSING DATA

1. Do not guess.
2. Identify the missing data.
3. Only conclude within the scope of the available data.

A clear structure is usually easier to use than long prose.

Use Examples

Some concepts are understood better by the AI when there are examples.

GOOD:

The current data is not sufficient to confirm the thesis.

BAD:

The company will certainly keep growing.

Or:

GOOD SOURCE:

Audited financial statements.

WEAK SOURCE:

A post with no cited source.

Examples help the AI understand how to apply Knowledge in practice.

Don't turn the KB into a second System Prompt

The KB should not be full of sentences like:

• You must...
• Always...
• Absolutely never...
• It is mandatory...

Rules that control behavior belong in the System Prompt.

The KB should focus on:

• knowledge;
• methods;
• definitions;
• reference;
• examples.
