Tech with Mak releases RAG handbook
Tech with Mak’s free PDF distills research-backed guidance into a 30-question handbook covering ingestion, chunking, retrieval, reranking, context packing, attribution, permissions, security, evaluation, and GraphRAG. It targets developers building and debugging production RAG systems.
Its strongest angle is treating RAG as an evidence-access architecture, not a hallucination switch.
- –Separates parsing, retrieval, context assembly, generation, and attribution failures for clearer evaluation.
- –Emphasizes that chunk size, overlap, and top-k require measurement rather than universal defaults.
- –Connects practical design choices to research including Lost in the Middle, RAPTOR, HyDE, Self-RAG, RAGAS, and RAGChecker.
- –Its concise format makes it a useful research map and design checklist, but not a standalone implementation guide.
