Grounding It in the Right Documents

Grounding It in the Right Documents

Pointing it at specific files instead of the whole tenant, which is what makes the answer wrong.

به چه درد می‌خورد

پاسخ فقط به‌اندازه‌ی چیزی خوب است که مدل تصمیم گرفته بخواند. فایل را صریح با اسم ارجاع بده، نسخه را مشخص کن، و برای هر ادعا منبع بخواه. یک هشدار هم دارد: دسترسی داشتن با مناسب بودن یکی نیست.

Its answers are only as good as what it decided to read. Decide for it.

- **Reference files explicitly** with `/` and the file name. An unreferenced
  prompt searches everything you have access to, which on a real tenant means
  it will find the 2023 draft as readily as the final.
- **Say which version.** "the latest" is not a thing it can evaluate reliably
  across a SharePoint library with three copies.
- **Ask for the source per claim**: "cite the file and slide/paragraph for each
  point." Then open one. The citation is the product.

The failure worth knowing about: it will happily summarise a document you have
access to but should not be quoting — an old salary review, an unreleased
plan — because access is not the same as appropriateness. Before pasting a
summary into a shared channel, check what it drew from.

For meetings, ask for "decisions and owners, with the timestamp each was
agreed" rather than a summary. A summary blends a suggestion and a decision
into one sentence, and that is the sentence that causes the argument.

2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
