Does this skill support scanned PDF documents?

Yes, by setting a MISTRAL_API_KEY in your configuration, the skill can leverage Mistral OCR to extract text from scanned PDFs that standard parsers might miss.

How can I improve the quality of my search results?

You can improve results by using more specific queries, adjusting chunk sizes (default 512), increasing the search limit with the --limit flag, or ensuring documents are properly indexed using the list command.

What embedding models does the rag-research skill support?

The skill utilizes FastEmbed with ONNX Runtime, supporting BGE-small-en-v1.5 (default), BGE-base, and BGE-large models for efficient CPU-based vector generation.

Where are the indexed vectors stored?

Vectors and metadata are persisted locally in a Qdrant database located in the ~/.rag-research directory on your machine.
