{'name': 'Trace Every LLM Call', 'description': 'Production AI apps without tracing are flying blind. Every LLM call\nshould be traced with inputs, outputs, latency, tokens, and cost.\nUse structured spans for multi-step chains and agents.\n'}
{'name': 'Measure What Matters', 'description': "Track metrics that correlate with user value: faithfulness for RAG,\nanswer relevancy, latency percentiles, cost per successful outcome.\nVanity metrics (total calls) don't improve product quality.\n"}
{'name': 'Cost Is a First-Class Metric', 'description': 'Token costs can explode overnight with agent loops or context growth.\nTrack cost per user, per feature, per model. Set budgets and alerts.\nPrompt caching can cut costs by 50-90%.\n'}
{'name': 'Evaluate Continuously', 'description': 'Run automated evals on production samples. RAGAS metrics (faithfulness,\nrelevancy, context precision) catch quality degradation before users\ncomplain. Score > 0.8 is generally good.\n'}
Reference System Usage
You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain:
For Creation: Always consult references/patterns.md. This file dictates how things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here.
For Diagnosis: Always consult references/sharp_edges.md. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user.
For Review: Always consult references/validations.md. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively.
Note: If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.
