Does this skill support async Python development?

Yes, the skill enforces the Semantik protocol where all I/O methods, such as 'load_documents', must be implemented as asynchronous iterators or methods.

What is a Semantik plugin?

A Semantik plugin is a Python-based extension that adds capabilities like document loading, text chunking, or embedding to the Semantik semantic search platform.

What types of plugins can I build with this skill?

This skill supports six plugin types: connectors (sources), embeddings (vectors), chunking (segmentation), rerankers (ordering), extractors (metadata), and agents (LLM logic).

Do I need to install the core Semantik application to develop a plugin?

No, you can use the recommended protocol-based approach which uses structural typing (duck typing), allowing you to develop plugins with zero dependencies on Semantik.

How do I handle sensitive API keys in my plugin?

You can define fields in the 'get_secret_fields' method to ensure they are encrypted at rest, or use the '_env' suffix pattern to resolve values from environment variables.

Data Science & ML

Builds custom plugins for the Semantik search engine to handle document ingestion, embeddings, and AI-powered reranking.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for developing plugins for Semantik, a self-hosted semantic search platform. It facilitates the creation of connectors, embedding providers, chunking strategies, rerankers, and autonomous agents through a protocol-based Python architecture. By utilizing this skill, developers can extend Semantik's core capabilities, implement custom data sources, and integrate specific LLM behaviors while following established best practices for security, testing, and async implementation.
