What I learned building and debugging a RAG + agent workflow stack

After building RAG + multi-step agent systems, three lessons stood out:

  • Good ingestion determines everything downstream. If extraction isn’t deterministic, nothing else is.
  • Verification is non-negotiable. Without schema/citation checking, errors spread quickly.
  • You need clear tool contracts. The agent can’t compensate for unknown input/output formats.

If you’ve built retrieval or agent pipelines, what stability issues did you run into?
