User Query Component in a RAG Prompt
The user's query is a fundamental component of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation prompt, specifying the exact information the model needs to find and synthesize from the provided context. For example, in a prompt designed to find the location of the 2028 Olympics, the query is 'Where will the 2028 Olympics be held?'.

A developer is creating a question-answering system that uses retrieved text to generate responses. They have structured their prompt as follows:
Question: [user's question here]Context: [retrieved text here]Answer:Based on best practices for guiding a language model, what is the most critical component missing from this prompt structure?
You are building a system that uses a large language model to answer questions based on a set of retrieved documents. To ensure the model behaves correctly, you must structure the input prompt carefully. Arrange the following components into the most effective and logical order.
User Query Component in a RAG Prompt
A developer is building a customer support bot using a large language model. The bot must answer user questions based only on a provided set of product manuals to ensure accuracy and prevent misinformation. Which of the following prompt structures is the most effective and robust for this specific requirement?
Learn After
A language model is given the following complete set of instructions and text to generate a response:
INSTRUCTIONS: You are an expert research assistant. Your task is to answer the question below using only the information provided in the accompanying 'CONTEXT' section. If the context does not contain the answer, state that the information is not available.
CONTEXT: The Amazon rainforest, covering much of northwestern Brazil and extending into Colombia, Peru and other South American countries, is the world's largest tropical rainforest. It is known for its immense biodiversity. The Amazon River is the largest river by discharge volume of water in the world.
QUESTION: What is the defining characteristic of the Amazon River?
Which part of this input is most directly responsible for specifying the exact piece of information the model must locate and formulate into an answer?
