## Project-Specific Guidelines

### Current ML Components

1. **Embedding System** (`orchestrator/context/embeddings.py`)
   - Uses sentence-transformers (all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
   - 384-dimensional vectors
   - Cosine similarity search

2. **BM25 Index** (`orchestrator/context/bm25_index.py`)
   - Keyword-based retrieval
   - Configurable k1, b parameters

3. **Hybrid Search** (`orchestrator/context/hybrid_search.py`)
   - RRF fusion of BM25 + semantic
   - Configurable weights

4. **Local LLM Adapters**
   - `OllamaAdapter`: Ollama API integration
   - `LlamaCppAdapter`: llama.cpp server integration

### Embedding Best Practices

```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import numpy as np
from typing import List, Optional

class EmbeddingService:
    """Production-ready embedding service."""

    def __init__(
        self,
        model_name: str = "all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
        device: str = "cpu",
        batch_size: int = 32,
    ):
        self.model = SentenceTransformer(model_name, device=device)
        self.batch_size = batch_size
        self.dimension = self.model.get_sentence_embedding_dimension()

    def embed_batch(
        self,
        texts: List[str],
        normalize: bool = True,
    ) -> np.ndarray:
        """Embed texts with batching for efficiency."""
        embeddings = self.model.encode(
            texts,
            batch_size=self.batch_size,
            show_progress_bar=False,
            convert_to_numpy=True,
            normalize_embeddings=normalize,
        )
        return embeddings

    def semantic_search(
        self,
        query: str,
        corpus_embeddings: np.ndarray,
        top_k: int = 10,
    ) -> List[tuple]:
        """Fast semantic search using dot product."""
        query_embedding = self.model.encode(
            query,
            normalize_embeddings=True,
            convert_to_numpy=True,
        )

        # Dot product = cosine similarity when normalized
        scores = np.dot(corpus_embeddings, query_embedding)
        top_indices = np.argsort(scores)[-top_k:][::-1]

        return [(idx, scores[idx]) for idx in top_indices]
```

### LLM Integration Pattern

```python
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Optional, List
import httpx

@dataclass
class LLMResponse:
    content: str
    tokens_used: int
    model: str
    finish_reason: str

class BaseLLMClient(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def complete(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> LLMResponse:
        pass

class OllamaClient(BaseLLMClient):
    def __init__(self, endpoint: str = "http://localhost:11434", model: str = "llama2"):
        self.endpoint = endpoint
        self.model = model

    def complete(
        self,
        prompt: str,
        temperature: float = 0.7,
        max_tokens: int = 2048,
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResponse:
        with httpx.Client(timeout=300) as client:
            response = client.post(
                f"{self.endpoint}/api/generate",
                json={
                    "model": self.model,
                    "prompt": prompt,
                    "stream": False,
                    "options": {
                        "temperature": temperature,
                        "num_predict": max_tokens,
                    }
                }
            )
            response.raise_for_status()
            data = response.json()

        return LLMResponse(
            content=data.get("response", ""),
            tokens_used=data.get("eval_count", 0),
            model=self.model,
            finish_reason="stop",
        )
```

### RAG Pipeline Pattern

```python
from typing import List, Dict, Any

class RAGPipeline:
    """Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline."""

    def __init__(
        self,
        embedding_service: EmbeddingService,
        llm_client: BaseLLMClient,
        retriever,  # BM25 or vector store
    ):
        self.embedding_service = embedding_service
        self.llm_client = llm_client
        self.retriever = retriever

    def query(
        self,
        question: str,
        top_k: int = 5,
        include_sources: bool = True,
    ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        # 1. Retrieve relevant context
        retrieved = self.retriever.search(question, limit=top_k)

        # 2. Build prompt with context
        context = "\n\n".join([
            f"[Source {i+1}]: {doc.content}"
            for i, doc in enumerate(retrieved)
        ])

        prompt = f"""Answer the question based on the following context.
If the context doesn't contain relevant information, say so.

Context:
{context}

Question: {question}

Answer:"""

        # 3. Generate response
        response = self.llm_client.complete(prompt)

        result = {
            "answer": response.content,
            "tokens_used": response.tokens_used,
        }

        if include_sources:
            result["sources"] = [
                {"content": doc.content[:200], "score": doc.score}
                for doc in retrieved
            ]

        return result
```

## Review Checklist

For ML code, verify:

### Model Integration
- [ ] Lazy loading for models (don't load at import)
- [ ] Graceful fallback when model unavailable
- [ ] Batch processing for efficiency
- [ ] GPU/CPU device handling
- [ ] Memory management (clear cache after inference)

### Embeddings
- [ ] Normalization applied consistently
- [ ] Dimension matches expected size
- [ ] Batch size appropriate for memory
- [ ] Caching for repeated queries

### LLM Calls
- [ ] Timeout configured
- [ ] Rate limiting handled
- [ ] Token limits enforced
- [ ] Prompt injection mitigated
- [ ] Response validation

### Data Pipeline
- [ ] Input validation
- [ ] Output validation
- [ ] Error handling for edge cases
- [ ] Logging for debugging

Every ML change must include: model name/version, expected latency, memory requirements, and fallback behavior.
