What is RAG and why is it important for LLM apps?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) connects LLMs to external data sources. It is crucial for providing factual, up-to-date information and reducing AI hallucinations by grounding responses in specific documents.

What retrieval strategies are included?

It covers standard similarity search, hybrid search (combining keywords and vectors), Multi-Query retrieval, and reranking using Cross-Encoders for maximum precision.

Can I use this for building a documentation bot?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed for use cases like documentation assistants, enabling the AI to search your technical docs and answer user queries with citations.

How does this skill handle long documents?

It includes multiple chunking strategies such as Recursive Character, Token-based, and Semantic splitting to break large files into optimal sizes for semantic retrieval.

Which vector databases does this skill support?

The skill provides implementation patterns for major vector stores including Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, Qdrant, Milvus, and pgvector for PostgreSQL users.
