## Decision Framework

### When to Use RAG

| Scenario | Recommendation |
|----------|----------------|
| Static knowledge base | ✅ RAG |
| Real-time data | ❌ API calls |
| User-specific data | ✅ RAG with filters |
| General knowledge | ❌ LLM native |
| Legal/compliance docs | ✅ RAG with citations |

### When to Use Multi-Agent

| Scenario | Pattern |
|----------|---------|
| Simple, linear task | Single agent |
| Parallel independent tasks | Parallel pattern |
| Dependent sequential steps | Sequential pattern |
| Complex routing decisions | Supervisor pattern |
| Mixed requirements | Hybrid (Harmony) |

---

## Delegation Protocol

When AI Architect receives a specialized request:

```
User: "design the vector search for legal documents"
        ↓
AI Architect: "This requires RAG expertise."
        ↓
AI Architect: Invokes Riley (RAG Architect)
        ↓
Riley: Provides detailed RAG design
        ↓
AI Architect: Reviews and integrates into overall architecture
```

### Delegation Matrix

| Topic | Delegate To |
|-------|-------------|
| RAG, embeddings, chunking | Riley |
| Memory systems, context | Milo |
| Multi-agent orchestration | Oscar |
| Observability, tracing | Olivia |
| Knowledge graphs | Grace |
| Safety, guardrails | Sage |

| Embeddings | text-embedding-3-small | Balance |
| Re-ranker | Cohere Rerank | Relevance boost |

## 5. Multi-Agent Design
[Designed by Oscar]

## 6. Safety & Guardrails
[Designed by Sage]

## 7. Observability
[Designed by Olivia]

## 8. Cost Estimation
| Component | Volume | Unit Cost | Monthly |
|-----------|--------|-----------|---------|
| LLM calls | 100K | $0.003 | $300 |
| Embeddings | 1M | $0.0001 | $100 |
| Vector DB | 10GB | $10 | $100 |
```

---

## Best Practices

1. **Start simple** - Single agent before multi-agent
2. **Measure latency** - LLM calls add up
3. **Cache embeddings** - Don't re-embed unchanged content
4. **Test prompts** - Iterate with evaluation
5. **Monitor costs** - Track token usage
6. **Plan for failures** - LLMs are non-deterministic

## 🔧 DSPy / APE / OPRO - Automatic Prompt Engineering

> **Optimisation automatique des prompts - "Prompt engineering is dead"**

### Méthodes d'Optimisation

| Method | Description | Source | Use Case |
|--------|-------------|--------|----------|
| **DSPy** | Declarative Self-improving Python | Stanford | Production optimization |
| **APE** | Automatic Prompt Engineer | Zhou et al. | Prompt generation |
| **OPRO** | Optimization by Prompting | Google DeepMind | Meta-optimization |

### DSPy Pattern

```python
# Instead of hand-crafting prompts:
class RAGModule(dspy.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        self.retrieve = dspy.Retrieve(k=3)
        self.generate = dspy.ChainOfThought("context, question -> answer")

    def forward(self, question):
        context = self.retrieve(question)
        return self.generate(context=context, question=question)

# DSPy optimizes prompts automatically based on examples
optimizer = dspy.BootstrapFewShot(metric=answer_match)
optimized = optimizer.compile(RAGModule(), trainset=examples)
```

### Key Insight

```
Manual: Write prompt → Test → Iterate → Hope
DSPy:   Define task → Provide examples → Auto-optimize

Result: Consistent, measurable prompt quality
```

## 🎯 LLM Routing & Model Selection

> **Réduction des coûts de 40-60% via routage intelligent**

### Routing Strategy

```
Query Complexity Analysis
    │
    ├── Simple → GPT-4o-mini ($0.15/1M) → 40-60% savings
    │
    ├── Complex → GPT-4o ($5/1M)
    │
    └── Critical → Claude Opus ($15/1M)
```

### RouteLLM Configuration

```yaml
router:
  models:
    - name: "gpt-4o-mini"
      cost: 0.15
      capability: "simple"

    - name: "gpt-4o"
      cost: 5.00
      capability: "complex"

    - name: "claude-opus-4"
      cost: 15.00
      capability: "critical"

  routing_logic:
    - "Analyze query complexity"
    - "Estimate required capability"
    - "Route to cheapest sufficient model"

  patterns:
    cascade: "Start cheap, escalate if fails"
    parallel: "Run multiple, pick best"
    hybrid: "Route by task type"
    ensemble: "Combine outputs"

  savings: "40-60% vs single premium model"
```

### Model Selection Matrix

| Task Type | Recommended Model | Rationale |
|-----------|-------------------|-----------|
| Simple Q&A | GPT-4o-mini | Cost-effective |
| Code generation | Claude Sonnet | Best code quality |
| Complex reasoning | Claude Opus 4 | Deep thinking |
| Multimodal | GPT-4o / Gemini | Vision support |
| Long context | Claude (200K) | Largest window |
| Real-time | Groq / Cerebras | Lowest latency |

## 💾 Semantic Caching

> **Réduction des coûts de 40-90% et latence -80%**

### Why Semantic Cache?

```
Traditional: "What is AI?" → Cache miss if "What's artificial intelligence?"
Semantic:    "What is AI?" → Cache HIT (same meaning)

Cost savings: 40-90%
Latency reduction: 80%+
```

## 📋 Task Planning & Decomposition

> **Décomposition intelligente des tâches complexes**

### Decomposition Pattern

```
Goal: "Build user dashboard"
    │
    ├── Subtask 1: "Design component structure"
    │       ├── Sub-subtask: "Define props"
    │       └── Sub-subtask: "Create wireframe"
    │
    ├── Subtask 2: "Implement API endpoints"
    │       ├── Sub-subtask: "GET /user/stats"
    │       └── Sub-subtask: "GET /user/activity"
    │
    └── Subtask 3: "Write tests"
            ├── Sub-subtask: "Unit tests"
            └── Sub-subtask: "Integration tests"
```

### Goal-Oriented Agent Loop

```yaml
agent_loop:
  1_perceive: "Understand current state"
  2_plan: "Decompose goal into subtasks"
  3_act: "Execute next subtask"
  4_observe: "Check results"
  5_adapt: "Adjust plan if needed"
  6_repeat: "Until goal achieved"
```

### Planning Frameworks Comparison

| Framework | Pattern | Use Case | Complexity |
|-----------|---------|----------|------------|
| **AutoGPT** | Recursive decomposition | Autonomous tasks | High |
| **MetaGPT** | Role-based planning | Team simulation | Medium |
| **CrewAI** | Agent collaboration | Complex workflows | Medium |
| **LangGraph** | State machine | Controlled flow | Low-Medium |
| **Harmony** | Hybrid orchestration | Full SDLC | Medium |

## ⚖️ Fine-Tuning vs Prompt Engineering vs RAG

> **Decision matrix pour choisir la bonne approche**

### Comparison Matrix

| Criterion | Prompt Engineering | RAG | Fine-Tuning |
|-----------|:------------------:|:---:|:-----------:|
| **Setup Time** | Hours | Days | Weeks/Months |
| **Cost** | $ | $$ | $$$ |
| **Data Needed** | None | Documents | 1000+ examples |
| **Latency** | Higher (long prompts) | Medium | Lower |
| **Up-to-date** | Manual | Automatic | Retrain needed |
| **Best For** | General tasks | Knowledge retrieval | Behavior change |
| **Maintenance** | Low | Medium | High |

### Golden Rule (Decision Tree)

```
START: Prompt Engineering (quick wins)
   │
   ▼
IF need real-time data → ADD RAG ($70-1000/month)
   │
   ▼
IF need deep specialization → THEN Fine-Tune (6x inference cost)
```

### Hybrid Approach (RECOMMENDED)

```yaml
production_stack:
  layer_1: "Prompt Engineering (base behavior)"
  layer_2: "RAG (dynamic knowledge)"
  layer_3: "Fine-Tuning (only if needed for behavior)"

example: "Customer support with company docs"
  - Prompt: Defines tone, format, escalation rules
  - RAG: Retrieves product docs, policies
  - Fine-tune: NOT needed (prompt + RAG sufficient)
```

## 🧬 Memory Types (Cognitive Architecture)

> **Architecture mémoire inspirée de la cognition humaine**

### Human-Inspired Memory Types

| Type | Description | AI Implementation | Harmony Mapping |
|------|-------------|-------------------|-----------------|
| **Working** | Current focus | In-context window | Tier 1 |
| **Episodic** | Specific events | Conversation logs, traces | Tier 2 |
| **Semantic** | Facts, concepts | Vector embeddings | Tier 3 |
| **Procedural** | Skills, how-to | Tool definitions, patterns | Learned Patterns |

### Implementation Pattern

```yaml
memory_architecture:
  working_memory:
    storage: "In-context"
    size: "2000 tokens"
    content: ["current_task", "active_persona"]
    harmony: "Tier 1"

  episodic_memory:
    storage: "Session files"
    content: "Per-task action traces, tool calls"
    retrieval: "Recency + relevance"
    harmony: "Tier 2"

  semantic_memory:
    storage: "Vector DB (pgvector, Pinecone)"
    content: "Learned facts, patterns"
    retrieval: "Semantic similarity"
    harmony: "Tier 3"

  procedural_memory:
    storage: "Skill library (YAML/JSON)"
    content: "Successful patterns, tool usage"
    retrieval: "Pattern matching"
    harmony: "learned-patterns.json"
```

### Episodic vs Semantic Example

```
Episodic: "On Tuesday, user was frustrated with brother Mark"
Semantic: "User has family tension with brother"

→ Episodic = specific events (temporal)
→ Semantic = generalized knowledge (timeless)
```

## 🔌 Function/Tool Calling + MCP

> **Best practices pour l'intégration d'outils**

### Best Practices

| Practice | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| **Concise definitions** | Keep tool descriptions short but clear |
| **Explicit parameters** | Use JSON Schema with types, descriptions |
| **Error handling** | Return structured errors, not exceptions |
| **Parallel calls** | Enable when tools are independent |
| **Validation** | Validate tool outputs before using |

### Tool Definition Pattern

```json
{
  "name": "search_products",
  "description": "Search product catalog by name or category",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "query": {
        "type": "string",
        "description": "Search term"
      },
      "category": {
        "type": "string",
        "enum": ["electronics", "clothing", "food"]
      },
      "limit": {
        "type": "integer",
        "default": 10
      }
    },
    "required": ["query"]
  }
}
```

### MCP Integration (Claude Native)

```yaml
mcp_tools:
  benefits:
    - "Dynamic tool discovery"
    - "Cross-model compatibility"
    - "Standardized interface"
    - "Claude Code native support"

  pattern:
    - "Register tools via MCP server"
    - "Agent discovers available tools"
    - "Agent calls tools via MCP protocol"

  harmony_integration:
    - "memory MCP for Tier 3"
    - "postgres-hub for DB access"
    - "brave-search for web research"
```
