Key Chapters & Patterns

Chapter 1: Prompt Chaining (提示链)

Breaking complex tasks into sequential prompts.

# Example: Document analysis chain
def analyze_document(doc):
    # Step 1: Extract key points
    summary_prompt = f"Summarize key points from: {doc}"
    summary = llm.generate(summary_prompt)
    
    # Step 2: Analyze sentiment
    sentiment_prompt = f"Analyze sentiment of: {summary}"
    sentiment = llm.generate(sentiment_prompt)
    
    # Step 3: Generate recommendations
    rec_prompt = f"Based on sentiment {sentiment}, provide recommendations"
    recommendations = llm.generate(rec_prompt)
    
    return recommendations

Chapter 2: Routing (路由)

Directing requests to specialized agents or models.

# Example: Intent-based routing
def route_query(user_query):
    classifier_prompt = f"Classify intent: {user_query}\nOptions: technical, billing, general"
    intent = llm.generate(classifier_prompt)
    
    routes = {
        "technical": technical_agent,
        "billing": billing_agent,
        "general": general_agent
    }
    
    agent = routes.get(intent, general_agent)
    return agent.process(user_query)

Chapter 5: Tool Use (工具使用)

Enabling agents to call external tools and APIs.

# Example: Function calling pattern
tools = [
    {
        "name": "search_database",
        "description": "Search product database",
        "parameters": {"query": "string"}
    },
    {
        "name": "calculate_price",
        "description": "Calculate final price with discount",
        "parameters": {"base_price": "float", "discount": "float"}
    }
]

def agent_with_tools(user_request):
    # Agent decides which tool to use
    response = llm.generate(
        prompt=user_request,
        tools=tools,
        tool_choice="auto"
    )
    
    if response.tool_calls:
        for tool_call in response.tool_calls:
            result = execute_tool(tool_call.name, tool_call.arguments)
            # Feed result back to agent
            final_response = llm.generate(
                context=[user_request, result]
            )
        return final_response

Chapter 7: Multi-Agent Collaboration (多智能体协作)

Coordinating multiple specialized agents.

# Example: Research team pattern
class ResearchTeam:
    def __init__(self):
        self.researcher = Agent("researcher", "Find information")
        self.analyst = Agent("analyst", "Analyze data")
        self.writer = Agent("writer", "Write report")
    
    def collaborate(self, topic):
        # Stage 1: Research
        research_data = self.researcher.execute(
            f"Research topic: {topic}"
        )
        
        # Stage 2: Analysis
        analysis = self.analyst.execute(
            f"Analyze research: {research_data}"
        )
        
        # Stage 3: Writing
        report = self.writer.execute(
            f"Write report based on: {analysis}"
        )
        
        return report

Chapter 14: Knowledge Retrieval (RAG)

Retrieval-Augmented Generation pattern.

# Example: RAG implementation
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import faiss

class RAGAgent:
    def __init__(self, knowledge_base):
        self.encoder = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
        self.index = self._build_index(knowledge_base)
        self.documents = knowledge_base
    
    def _build_index(self, documents):
        embeddings = self.encoder.encode([doc['text'] for doc in documents])
        index = faiss.IndexFlatL2(embeddings.shape[1])
        index.add(embeddings)
        return index
    
    def query(self, question, top_k=3):
        # Retrieve relevant documents
        query_embedding = self.encoder.encode([question])
        distances, indices = self.index.search(query_embedding, top_k)
        
        context = "\n".join([
            self.documents[i]['text'] for i in indices[0]
        ])
        
        # Generate answer with context
        prompt = f"Context: {context}\n\nQuestion: {question}\nAnswer:"
        answer = llm.generate(prompt)
        
        return answer

Chapter 8: Memory Management (记忆管理)

Managing short-term and long-term memory.

# Example: Conversational memory
class ConversationMemory:
    def __init__(self, max_history=10):
        self.short_term = []  # Recent messages
        self.long_term = {}   # Summary of topics
        self.max_history = max_history
    
    def add_message(self, role, content):
        self.short_term.append({"role": role, "content": content})
        
        # Summarize if history too long
        if len(self.short_term) > self.max_history:
            summary = self._summarize_old_messages()
            self._store_to_long_term(summary)
            self.short_term = self.short_term[-self.max_history:]
    
    def get_context(self):
        # Combine long-term summary with recent history
        context = []
        if self.long_term:
            context.append({"role": "system", "content": f"Previous context: {self.long_term}"})
        context.extend(self.short_term)
        return context

Translation Workflow

Contributing to Translation

1. Check translation progress:

cat progress.md  # View current status

2. Select a chapter (currently all are in review status):

# Update progress.md
- [x] 已翻译 Chapter X
- [ ] 已审核 Chapter X

3. Follow translation guide:

cat translation-guide.md  # Review standards
cat glossary.md          # Check terminology

4. Key translation principles:

• Use glossary for consistent terminology
• Keep code examples in original language
• Preserve markdown structure
• Maintain image paths relative to images/

Common Patterns & Use Cases

Pattern 1: Sequential Processing (Prompt Chaining)

Use when: Breaking down complex analysis into steps

result = chain_step1() → chain_step2() → chain_step3()

Pattern 2: Parallel Processing (Parallelization)

Use when: Independent subtasks can run concurrently

results = await asyncio.gather(
    task1(), task2(), task3()
)

Pattern 3: Self-Improvement (Reflection)

Use when: Output quality needs iterative refinement

output = generate()
critique = reflect(output)
improved = regenerate(critique)

Pattern 4: Dynamic Routing

Use when: Different inputs need different handling

handler = router.select(input_type)
result = handler.process(input)

Troubleshooting

Issue: Images not displaying

Problem: Image paths broken after translation

![Image](../images/chapter-1/diagram.png)  # Wrong

Solution: Use correct relative paths

![Image](images/chapter-1/diagram.png)  # Correct from chapters/

Issue: Inconsistent terminology

Problem: Same English term translated differently

Agent → 智能体 (Chapter 1)
Agent → 代理 (Chapter 2)  # Inconsistent

Solution: Always check glossary.md first

grep "Agent" glossary.md
# Use: 智能体 (preferred) or 代理 (context-specific)

Issue: Jekyll build fails

Problem:

Liquid Exception: Invalid Date

Solution: Check frontmatter dates in markdown files

---
# Remove or fix invalid date fields
updated_at: "2026-05-17"  # Future date might cause issues
---

Issue: Missing dependencies

Problem: bundle exec jekyll serve fails

Solution: Install dependencies

gem install bundler
bundle install
# Or for GitBook:
npm install -g gitbook-cli
gitbook install
