Embedding similarity, k-NN example banks, MMR diversity, and eval-driven example curation for few-shot prompts.

TL;DR — Quick Answer

Store labeled examples in a vector index and retrieve the top-k most similar to the current query, optionally diversifying with MMR to avoid near-duplicates. Refresh the example bank from production failures and eval gaps, and cap total shots to control latency and token cost.
