How does this skill help reduce AI hallucinations?

It provides specific prompt engineering templates and retrieval strategies that force the model to answer based only on provided context and include source citations.

Which vector databases does this skill support?

This skill includes implementation patterns for popular vector databases including Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, Chroma, Qdrant, and FAISS.

What is a RAG system?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is an architectural pattern that retrieves relevant documents from an external knowledge base to provide context to an LLM, ensuring responses are grounded in factual data.

Does it support hybrid search methods?

Yes, it covers patterns for combining dense retrieval (semantic similarity) with sparse retrieval (BM25 keyword matching) for more accurate results.
