The Sovereign Query

Advanced strategies to ground AI reasoning and debug the storm of hallucinations using retrieved project logic.

We have built the forge, mapped the logic, and locked our project’s DNA into a Semantic Vault. Now, we close the loop by implementing the Sovereign Query.

An AI that can remember is an AI that can be trusted.

Intent

You will create a master orchestration script that takes a user question, retrieves the relevant Information from your vault, and generates a grounded, high-precision response.

Background

This is the process of teaching the Orchestrator to hunt for the right information before it speaks. By grounding the AI in retrieved facts, we effectively eliminate the hallucinations and logic loops that occur when an AI operates in a vacuum.


Retrieval Loop

When you ask a grounded question, the system performs a multi-stage query.

Sovereign Query

  1. Vectorize the Query: The AI turns your question into a vector.
  2. The Hunt: It searches the vault for chunks with the closest mathematical proximity.
  3. Augmentation: It injects those chunks into the prompt as source truth.
  4. Grounded Response: The AI answers based only on the provided context.

Debugging the Storm

Hallucinations usually happen when the AI’s creative gas has no Structural Gravity to pull it down. By providing the vault context, you provide that gravity.

The Anti-Hallucination Prompt

In our system instruction, we add a Negative Constraint:

If the answer is not contained within the provided context, state that you do not know. Do not invent logic.


Sovereign Script

Let’s build the orchestrator. This is the brain of your RAG system.

  1. Connect to the Vault
    We pull the persistent ChromaDB collection we created earlier.

  2. Define the Search
    We turn the user’s input into an embedding and find the top 3 most relevant chunks.

  3. Execute the Loop
    We feed those chunks into Gemini with a strict role and context tag.

orchestrator.py
import chromadb
import google.generativeai as genai
import os
genai.configure(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])
client = chromadb.PersistentClient(path="./vault_data")
collection = client.get_collection(name="campaign_memory")
def sovereign_query(user_query):
# 1. Embed query (Task type 'retrieval_query' is optimized for questions)
res = genai.embed_content(
model="models/text-embedding-004",
content=user_query,
task_type="retrieval_query"
)
query_vec = res['embedding']
# 2. Hunt in Vault
# NOTE: query_embeddings must be a list of lists [[vec]]
results = collection.query(
query_embeddings=[query_vec],
n_results=3
)
# Extract documents from the results dictionary
context = "\n\n".join(results['documents'][0])
# 3. Grounded Execution
prompt = f"""
<role>Sovereign Project Lead</role>
<context>{context}</context>
<task>{user_query}</task>
<constraint>Answer ONLY using provided context. If unknown, say so.</constraint>
"""
model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-1.5-pro')
return model.generate_content(prompt).text

Conclusion

You have moved from isolated scripts to a living, breathing Knowledge Engine. You can now debug any storm of complexity by pointing your AI to its own history.

A conductor is only as good as the score in front of them. You have now written the score.
