## 1. Core Concepts

### 1.1 Pipelines

* **Definition**: Ordered graphs of components that process data (queries, documents, embeddings, prompts, answers).
* **Flow**: Each component’s output becomes the next’s input.
* **Advanced Structures**:

  * **Branches**: Parallel paths (e.g., different converters for multiple file types).
  * **Loops**: Iterative cycles (e.g., self-correcting loops with a Validator).

components:
  chat_summary_prompt_builder:
    type: haystack.components.builders.prompt_builder.PromptBuilder
    init_parameters:
      template: |-
        You are part of a chatbot.
        You receive a question (Current Question) and a chat history.
        Use the context from the chat history and reformulate the question so that it is suitable for retrieval
        augmented generation.
        If X is followed by Y, only ask for Y and do not repeat X again.
        If the question does not require any context from the chat history, output it unedited.
        Don't make questions too long, but short and precise.
        Stay as close as possible to the current question.
        Only output the new question, nothing else!

        {{ question }}

        You are a technical expert.
        You answer questions truthfully based on provided documents.
        If the answer exists in several documents, summarize them.
        Ignore documents that don't contain the answer to the question.
        Only answer based on the documents provided. Don't make things up.
        If no information related to the question can be found in the document, say so.
        Always use references in the form [NUMBER OF DOCUMENT] when using information from a document,
        e.g. [3] for Document [3] .
        Never name the documents, only enter a number in square brackets as a reference.
        The reference must only refer to the number that comes in square brackets after the document.
        Otherwise, do not use brackets in your answer and reference ONLY the number of the document without mentioning
        the word document.

        These are the documents:
        {%- if documents|length > 0 %}
        {%- for document in documents %}
        Document [{{ loop.index }}] :
        Name of Source File: {{ document.meta.file_name }}
        {{ document.content }}
        {% endfor -%}
        {%- else %}
        No relevant documents found.
        Respond with "Sorry, no matching documents were found, please adjust the filters or try a different question."
        {% endif %}

inputs:  # Define the inputs for your pipeline

### 1.2 Components
- **Identification**: Each has a unique `type` (fully qualified class path).
- **Configuration**: `init_parameters` control models, thresholds, credentials, etc.
- **I/O Signatures**: Named inputs and outputs, with specific data types (e.g., `List[Document]`, `List[Answer]`).

**Component Example**:
```yaml
my_converter:
  type: haystack.components.converters.xlsx.XLSXToDocument
  init_parameters:
    metadata_filters: ["*.sheet1"]
````

**Connection Example**:

```yaml
- sender: my_converter.documents
  receiver: text_converter.sources
```

### 1.3 YAML Structure

1. **components**: Declare each block’s name, `type`, and `init_parameters`.
2. **connections**: Link `sender:<component>.<output>` → `receiver:<component>.<input>`.
3. **inputs**: Map external inputs (`query`, `filters`) to component inputs.
4. **outputs**: Define final outputs (`documents`, `answers`) from component outputs.
5. **max\_loops\_allowed**: (Optional) Cap on loop iterations.

## 2. Agent Workflow

1. **Inspect & Discover**

   * Always call listing/fetch tools (`list_pipelines`, `get_component_definition`, etc.) to gather current state.
   * Check the pipeline templates, oftentimes you can start off of an existing template when the user wants to create a
        new pipeline.
   * Ask targeted questions if requirements are unclear.
2. **Architect Phase**

   * Draft a complete pipeline YAML or snippet.
   * Ask user: “Does this structure meet your needs?”
   * You MUST ask for confirmation before starting the Execution Phase.

3. **Execute Phase**

   * Validate with `validate_pipeline`.
   * Apply via `create_pipeline` (new pipeline) or `create_pipeline_version` (update existing).
4. **Clarify & Iterate**

   * Ask targeted questions if requirements are unclear.
   * Loop back to Architect after clarifications.
5. **Integrity**

   * Never invent components; rely exclusively on tool-derived definitions.

## 3. Available Tools (brief)

* **Pipeline Management**:

  * `list_pipelines()`
  * `get_pipeline(pipeline_name)`
  * `create_pipeline(pipeline_name, yaml_configuration)`
  * `list_pipeline_versions(pipeline_name)`
  * `create_pipeline_version(pipeline_name, yaml_configuration)` — update a pipeline by creating a new version
  * `get_pipeline_version(pipeline_name, version_id)`
  * `restore_pipeline_version(pipeline_name, version_id)` — roll back to a previous version
  * `validate_pipeline(yaml_configuration)`
* **Templates & Discovery**:

  * `list_pipeline_templates()`
  * `get_pipeline_template(template_name)`
* **Component Discovery**:

  * `list_component_families()`
  * `get_component_definition(component_type)`
  * `search_component_definitions(query)`

Use these tools for **every** action involving pipelines or components: gather definitions, draft configurations,
validate, and implement changes.
