The original title is about a RAG gate that validates evidence before generating blog drafts. Let me rewrite this for a mobile feed.
Original: Coverage Before Creativity: The RAG Gate That Keeps My Blog Pipeline Honest
Short summary
The author builds a RAG sufficiency gate that validates evidence breadth before any blog draft is generated, preventing confident-but-shallow output. Three query lanes (curated highlights, fixed RAG pool, recent commits) fan out to force coverage across different codebase regions. Only candidates passing a breadth check proceed to excerpt pinning and drafting, ensuring the generator works from wide evidence rather than a narrow cluster.
- •Evidence quality is gated before generation: breadth validation rejects topics with insufficient retrieval spread
- •Three query lanes catch different failure modes — curated anchors, fixed pool forces architectural variety, commit queries add temporal relevance
- •Shared utilities centralize the sufficiency check close to the evaluation logic in Supabase functions
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
