Knowledge Base Agent System Prompt
Generates an agent that answers strictly from your documents — citing the source for every claim, refusing questions the documents do not cover, and never filling gaps from general knowledge.

Running it, start to finish
- Describe what your documents cover and what they do not.
- Run the five test questions, especially the uncovered ones.
- Spot-check citations against the actual documents.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Forbids answering from general knowledge, which is what makes a grounded agent trustworthy.
- Handles partial coverage explicitly, since a mostly-sourced answer reads as entirely sourced.
- Presents conflicting documents rather than silently picking the one that reads better.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Test the uncovered questions first. How it handles a question your documents do not answer is the whole quality bar for this kind of agent.
- Require citations on everything. An answer that cannot be checked defeats the purpose of grounding it in documents at all.
- Include document dates. A confidently correct answer from a superseded policy is among the more damaging failures here.
