Advanced Topics

RAG System Architecture

1. Document Processing

   • PDFs are split into chunks (1000 chars with 200 overlap)

   • Text embedded using sentence-transformers

   • Vectors stored in FAISS index

2. Query Flow

   • User query is embedded

   • Top-k similar documents retrieved

   • Context passed to LLM for response generation

     enabled: true
     config:
       index_name: "supplement-therapy"
       index_directory: "./faiss_index"
       chunk_size: 1000
       chunk_overlap: 200

Workflow Configuration

Workflows are defined in resources/structure.yaml:

workflows:
  - name: "Supplement Therapy"
    description: "Personalized supplement recommendations"
    prompt: |
      Based on the blood test results and health assessment,
      provide evidence-based supplement recommendations...

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. FAISS Index Not Found

   • Ensure INDEX_NAME in environment matches structure.yaml

   • Run python scripts/init_rag.py to create index

2. Connection Issues with Claude Desktop

   • Verify server is running: check /health endpoint

   • Ensure configuration JSON is valid

   • Restart Claude Desktop completely

3. Docker Build Failures

   • Check Python version compatibility

   • Ensure all files are included in build context

   • Verify FAISS index exists in Docker image
