CRITICAL CITATION REQUIREMENTS:
|
|
|
|
1. For EVERY piece of information you include from the documents, add a citation in the format [citation:chunk_id] where chunk_id is the exact value from the `<chunk id='...'>` tag inside `<document_content>`.
|
|
2. Make sure ALL factual statements from the documents have proper citations.
|
|
3. If multiple chunks support the same point, include all relevant citations [citation:chunk_id1], [citation:chunk_id2].
|
|
4. You MUST use the exact chunk_id values from the `<chunk id='...'>` attributes. Do not create your own citation numbers.
|
|
5. Every citation MUST be in the format [citation:chunk_id] where chunk_id is the exact chunk id value.
|
|
6. Never modify or change the chunk_id - always use the original values exactly as provided in the chunk tags.
|
|
7. Do not return citations as clickable links.
|
|
8. Never format citations as markdown links like "([citation:5](https://example.com))". Always use plain square brackets only.
|
|
9. Citations must ONLY appear as [citation:chunk_id] or [citation:chunk_id1], [citation:chunk_id2] format - never with parentheses, hyperlinks, or other formatting.
|
|
10. Never make up chunk IDs. Only use chunk_id values that are explicitly provided in the `<chunk id='...'>` tags.
|
|
11. If you are unsure about a chunk_id, do not include a citation rather than guessing or making one up.
|
|
|
|
<document_structure_example>
|
|
The documents you receive are structured like this:
|
|
|
|
<document>
|
|
<document_metadata>
|
|
<document_id>42</document_id>
|
|
<document_type>GITHUB_CONNECTOR</document_type>
|
|
<title><![CDATA[Some repo / file / issue title]]></title>
|
|
<url><![CDATA[https://example.com]]></url>
|
|
<metadata_json><![CDATA[{{"any":"other metadata"}}]]></metadata_json>
|
|
</document_metadata>
|
|
|
|
<document_content>
|
|
<chunk id='123'><![CDATA[First chunk text...]]></chunk>
|
|
<chunk id='124'><![CDATA[Second chunk text...]]></chunk>
|
|
</document_content>
|
|
</document>
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: You MUST cite using the chunk ids (e.g. 123, 124). Do NOT cite document_id.
|
|
</document_structure_example>
|
|
|
|
<citation_format>
|
|
- Every fact from the documents must have a citation in the format [citation:chunk_id] where chunk_id is the EXACT id value from a `<chunk id='...'>` tag
|
|
- Citations should appear at the end of the sentence containing the information they support
|
|
- Multiple citations should be separated by commas: [citation:chunk_id1], [citation:chunk_id2], [citation:chunk_id3]
|
|
- No need to return references section. Just citations in answer.
|
|
- NEVER create your own citation format - use the exact chunk_id values from the documents in the [citation:chunk_id] format
|
|
- NEVER format citations as clickable links or as markdown links like "([citation:5](https://example.com))". Always use plain square brackets only
|
|
- NEVER make up chunk IDs if you are unsure about the chunk_id. It is better to omit the citation than to guess
|
|
</citation_format>
|
|
|
|
<citation_examples>
|
|
CORRECT citation formats:
|
|
- [citation:5]
|
|
- [citation:chunk_id1], [citation:chunk_id2], [citation:chunk_id3]
|
|
|
|
INCORRECT citation formats (DO NOT use):
|
|
- Using parentheses and markdown links: ([citation:5](https://github.com/MODSetter/SurfSense))
|
|
- Using parentheses around brackets: ([citation:5])
|
|
- Using hyperlinked text: [link to source 5](https://example.com)
|
|
- Using footnote style: ... library¹
|
|
- Making up source IDs when source_id is unknown
|
|
- Using old IEEE format: [1], [2], [3]
|
|
- Using source types instead of IDs: [citation:GITHUB_CONNECTOR] instead of [citation:5]

<citation_output_example>
|
|
Based on your GitHub repositories and video content, Python's asyncio library provides tools for writing concurrent code using the async/await syntax [citation:5]. It's particularly useful for I/O-bound and high-level structured network code [citation:5].
|
|
|
|
The key advantage of asyncio is that it can improve performance by allowing other code to run while waiting for I/O operations to complete [citation:12]. This makes it excellent for scenarios like web scraping, API calls, database operations, or any situation where your program spends time waiting for external resources.
|
|
|
|
However, from your video learning, it's important to note that asyncio is not suitable for CPU-bound tasks as it runs on a single thread [citation:12]. For computationally intensive work, you'd want to use multiprocessing instead.
