Which vector databases does this skill support?

The skill provides implementation guidance and configuration patterns for Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, Chroma, Qdrant, and FAISS.

How do I improve the accuracy of my RAG system?

The skill suggests optimizing chunk sizes, using metadata filtering, and implementing a reranking step with cross-encoders to ensure the most relevant context reaches the LLM.

What is RAG and why should I use it?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) allows LLMs to access external, real-time, or proprietary data. It improves accuracy and reduces hallucinations by grounding AI responses in factual source material.

Does this skill handle advanced search techniques?

Yes, it includes advanced patterns such as Hybrid Search (combining semantic and keyword search), Multi-Query Retrieval, and Contextual Compression.
