What is this?

Context injection is the step where retrieved chunks are placed into the prompt — order, labels, and delimiters matter.

Why should you care?

PromptVerse injects numbered [1][2] sources so the model and UI align on citations.

See it live — copy this example

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or your LLM API playground and compare outputs.

const block = chunks.map((c,i) => `[${i+1}] doc_id=${c.id}\n${c.text}`).join("\n\n");
const user = `Sources:\n${block}\n\nQuestion: ${q}\nCite [n] for each claim.`;

What happened?

  • Numbered sources map to citation tags.
  • doc_id in header helps humans verify in admin UI.

Practice next

  1. Format 3 chunks with [1][2][3] labels.
  2. Ask model to cite numbers.
  3. Reorder chunks — see if wrong cite appears.
  4. Put highest score chunk first.
  5. Cap injected chars per source.

Remember

Label every chunk. Sources before question. Delimiters reduce bleed.

Citation UI

User clicks [2] in answer.

Outcome: UI opens doc_id from chunk 2 metadata.
