Prompt 4: Improve and Iterate

These are prompts for when you want to make the search better. Use whichever ones are relevant to you.

---

If search results are not relevant enough

The search results are not matching my questions well.
Can you add a re-ranking step? After getting the top 10 results
from Pinecone, use Claude to re-rank them by relevance to my
actual question, then show the top 5.

If you want to add your own files

I want to add more files to the search index. I have put new
files in example-data/. Please:
1. Check which files are new (not already in Pinecone)
2. Process only the new files
3. Add their embeddings to the existing index
4. Show me what was added

If you want better image descriptions

Look at the images in example-data/ and suggest improved
descriptions for any that could be more detailed. Show me
the current description and your suggested improvement
side by side. Do not update descriptions.md until I approve.

If you want to add a video clip

I have added a short video file (MP4, under 2 minutes) to
example-data/. Please:
1. Extract key frames from the video
2. Generate descriptions for each key frame
3. Add these descriptions as searchable chunks in Pinecone
4. Link them back to the video file with timestamps

If you want to export or share

I want to share this search app with someone else. Can you:
1. Create a README with setup instructions
2. Make sure the .env.template has all required variables
3. Add a "first run" script that handles ingestion automatically
4. Package it so someone can clone the repo and get started
   with just their own API keys

If something is broken

[Paste the exact error message here]

This happened when I tried to [describe what you did].
Can you diagnose and fix the issue?

The key to good results with Claude Code: be specific about what you see and what you expected to see instead.
