Workflow
Step 1 — Fetch chunks
from dashboard.backend.sdk_client import evo
if document_id:
doc = evo.get(f"/api/knowledge/v1/documents/{document_id}",
headers={"X-Knowledge-Connection": connection})
chunks = doc["chunks"]
title = doc["title"]
elif unit_id:
docs = evo.get(f"/api/knowledge/v1/documents?unit_id={unit_id}",
headers={"X-Knowledge-Connection": connection})
chunks = []
for d in docs:
full = evo.get(f"/api/knowledge/v1/documents/{d['id']}",
headers={"X-Knowledge-Connection": connection})
chunks.extend(full["chunks"])
title = f"Unit {unit_id} ({len(docs)} documents)"
Step 2 — Concatenate + truncate
Concatenate chunk.content separated by \n\n. If total > 40k chars: sample first/middle/last third.
Step 3 — LLM call
Model: claude-haiku-4-5-20251001.
