Exploring the Blueprint Gallery

When I start a new research project, I want to quickly populate my workspace with relevant sources, so I can begin analysis immediately without hunting for documentation.

Introduction

Starting a new infrastructure research project means hunting down vendor documentation, pricing pages, and benchmark data before you can even begin analysis. This setup tax compounds across projects—every time you research a new topic, you repeat the same ritual of bookmark hunting and URL pasting.

Blueprints eliminate this friction. A single blueprint can populate your workspace with curated sources, pre-configured scenarios, and recommended stacks—all indexed and ready for research.

The Blueprint Gallery

The Blueprint Gallery is your starting point for rapid workspace setup. Access it by clicking “Blueprints” in the Sources panel or using the keyboard shortcut.

Gallery Sections

Official Blueprints (curated by Lattice):

• Quality-assured and regularly updated
• Cover major providers and common use cases
• Include verified, working URLs

Community Blueprints (user-contributed):

• Shared by other researchers
• Community ratings surface the best ones
• Diverse use cases beyond official coverage

Your Blueprints (private):

• Blueprints you’ve created or saved
• Export your workspace setup for reuse
• Share with team members

Blueprint Categories

Category	Description	Examples
production	Production deployment patterns	”Anthropic Production”, “OpenAI Enterprise”
development	Development and testing setups	”Local Development Stack”
comparison	Provider/model comparisons	”Multi-Provider Comparison”
cost_optimization	Budget-focused configurations	”Cost-Effective RAG”
rag	RAG pipeline patterns	”RAG Best Practices”
agentic	Agentic system configurations	”LangGraph Agents”

Filtering Options

• By category: Find blueprints for your use case
• By vendor: Focus on a specific provider ecosystem (Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS, Google)
• By search: Full-text search across names and descriptions

What’s in a Blueprint

Each blueprint card shows:

• Name and description: What problem it solves
• Source count: How many documents included
• Scenario count: Pre-configured workload definitions
• Stack count: Recommended configurations
• Tags: Category and vendor identifiers

Blueprint Contents

Sources: Documentation URLs that will be fetched, chunked, and indexed:

• Vendor pricing pages
• API documentation
• Best practices guides
• Model specifications

Scenarios: Pre-configured workload definitions:

• Workload type (chat, RAG, agentic)
• Performance SLOs (latency, throughput)
• Budget constraints
• Compliance requirements

Stacks: Recommended configurations:

• Provider and model selection
• Framework choices
• Temperature and parameter defaults

Applying a Blueprint

Click “Apply to Workspace” to import the blueprint contents:

1. Review the items: Check/uncheck specific sources, scenarios, or stacks
2. Understand the impact: See how many new sources will be indexed
3. Confirm application: Click “Apply” to start the import

Within 30-60 seconds, your workspace is populated with indexed, searchable sources. The Research Agent immediately has context for answering your questions.

Real-World Use Cases

Starting a provider evaluation: Apply “Multi-Provider Comparison” and immediately begin asking questions about pricing, latency guarantees, and feature differences across Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.

Setting up a team workspace: Apply “RAG Best Practices” to establish a knowledge foundation with chunking strategy documentation, embedding model comparisons, and retrieval pattern guides.

Transitioning projects: Export your current workspace as a blueprint before context-switching. When you return—or when a colleague picks up the project—apply the blueprint to reconstruct the research environment.

What’s Next

The Blueprint system integrates with Lattice’s evolving capabilities:
