RAG with citation checks
Select useful passages, reject embedded instructions, and check whether a citation actually supports the claim.
What the model decides. What code checks.
- Code checks that the quote appears verbatim in the named source. If it does not, the model is never called.
- One request evaluates relevance, support for the claim, and suspicious instructions in every passage.
- Code keeps only passages that pass every threshold. The claim and exact quote go to a human for review.
Read. Run. Replay.
Unpack the archive and open its directory in a terminal. The first step needs neither a key nor a network connection.
python3 runner.py rag-citationsFor a real run, set SHVYDKO_API_KEY in your computer or server environment. Do not put the key in your browser or source code. Current account quotas and pricing apply.
python3 runner.py rag-citations --live --output rag-citations-run.jsonThe report contains requests, actual responses, elapsed times, and known usage. The file is created with private permissions and never overwrites an existing file. Network failures are not automatically retried: check Usage before another call.
python3 runner.py rag-citations --replay rag-citations-run.jsonReplay checks that the recipe, inputs, and requests match. A local file is editable, so it is not signed proof of where responses came from. If you replace the inputs with your own data, the report will contain those data too: keep it private.
An open contract, with every step visible.
The plan below was generated by the same runner from the bundled fixtures. It contains requests and author expectations, not model results.
