Drafting Requirements and Design Documents for Data Cleaning and Quality Inspection: Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

This category of data primarily originates from raw datasets, ETL operation logs, annotation platform outputs, and sampling quality inspection

What the data for this category looks like

This category of data primarily originates from raw datasets, ETL operation logs, annotation platform outputs, and sampling quality inspection results. Update frequency is daily or synchronized per data batch. Core daily deliverables include cleaning rules, quality inspection sampling tables, abnormal data lists, and delivery reports. Document fields typically include data identifiers, exception types, processing statuses, associated batch numbers, and other related items. Common units are data counts, timestamps, and exception proportion percentages.

What constraints these characteristics impose on multi-turn dialogue and prompt engineering

Raw dataset batches have significant differences. Batch context must be synchronized during multi-turn dialogue to avoid confusion between cross-batch rules. The daily or per-batch update frequency requires the dialogue flow to support batch document association, preventing processing of expired data. Document fields include key information such as exception types and processing statuses. Prompts must explicitly require extraction of these corresponding fields; otherwise, the generated requirement documents will lack validation items. The time-series nature of ETL logs requires retaining operation chain context during dialogue to facilitate backtracking of the execution basis for cleaning rules.

Configuration settings

The following configurations are adapted for FastGPT v4.17.0:

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
variables bound fieldsData batch number, exception type, processing statusAssociate category-specific data fields to ensure batch and exception association information is passed during multi-turn dialogue
messages history turn limitTop 10 dialogue turnsLimit context redundancy to avoid irrelevant cross-batch history interfering with current requirement drafting for cleaning rules
chatId session isolation ruleBind per data batchEnsure that dialogue contexts for requirements and design documents of the same batch are not confused with those of other batches
Single dialogue return limitTop 5 abnormal data entriesMatch the conventional sampling volume of quality inspection sampling, avoiding excessive data returned in a single dialogue that causes timeout
Timeout threshold600 secondsAdapt to the processing time of ETL logs and batch data, avoiding timeout errors triggered by large data volumes
Maximum context length800–1200 charactersMatch the conventional length of single documents such as cleaning rules and quality inspection sampling tables, avoiding truncation of key fields

Three common misconfigurations

  • The interface displays a request timeout or returns a 504 status code. This occurs when no timeout threshold adapted for batch data processing is set, and pagination is not implemented for abnormal data lists.
  • Unconfigured knowledge base content is automatically included in dialogue. This happens when the global knowledge base association switch is not turned off, leading to irrelevant external data being mixed into requirement drafting.
  • It is not possible to set a single dialogue turn to trigger a prompt only once. This is caused by failing to lock the prompt call count in session configuration, resulting in repeated triggering of the prompt generation process.

How to confirm configurations are correctly set

  • Import a single batch of cleaning rule documents, initiate the first dialogue, and verify that the context only includes field information for that batch.
  • Simulate a query for batch abnormal data, wait for the dialogue response, and confirm that the response duration does not exceed the set threshold.
  • Trigger one prompt call, and check that subsequent dialogues do not repeatedly trigger the same prompt generation logic.
  • View the chatId session list, confirm that dialogue contexts for different data batches are isolated, with no cross-batch data confusion.
