    Sample input

    Our RAG system isn't finding specific technical errors like 'error 402' in the logs, even though the docs are indexed. Can you diagnose why retrieval is failing for these identifiers?

    Sample output

    Diagnosis: Low recall@k. Hypothesis: Missing BM25/keyword search for technical identifiers. Evidence: Search 'error 402' returns generic HTTP docs, not specific logs. Fix: Implement Hybrid Search with RRF + Metadata filters for log levels. Expected Impact: +25% precision on technical queries.

    About This Skill

    Advanced RAG System Architecture & Debugging

    Designing a production-ready Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system requires more than just a vector database and a prompt. The RAG Architect skill provides a developer-centric framework for building, hardening, and troubleshooting complex retrieval stacks, moving beyond generic implementations to high-performance architecture.

    What it does

    This skill acts as a senior systems architect for your AI pipeline. It analyzes ingestion workflows, document parsing, chunking strategies, embedding selection, and vector store performance. Whether you are building from scratch or fixing a broken implementation, it applies a rigorous, evidence-based methodology to ensure your agent stays grounded and accurate.

    Supported Capabilities

    • Architecture Design: Decisions for hybrid search, reranking, and context packing tailored to your specific corpus (Legal, Code, Product Docs, etc.).
    • Truth-First Debugging: Systematic isolation of failures across the pipeline—from bad parsing to stale indexes and tenant leakage.
    • Infrastructure Selection: Unbiased tradeoff analysis for vector databases (pgvector, Qdrant, Milvus), embedding models, and rerankers.
    • Production Hardening: Implementing multi-tenant isolation, citation grounding, and incremental re-indexing strategies.
    • Evaluation Frameworks: Establishing metrics for recall@k, precision, and faithfulness to ensure changes are data-driven rather than anecdotal.

    Why use this skill?

    Standard LLM prompts often treat "bad answers" as model hallucinations. This skill identifies when the problem is actually a metadata filter mismatch, poor chunking semantics, or an inefficient reranker. It helps you reduce latency and cost by optimizing the weakest stage of your pipeline rather than over-relying on expensive long-context windows.

    Use Cases

    • Construct hybrid search pipelines combining semantic and keyword retrieval
    • Debug hallucination risks by implementing strict source grounding protocols
    • Optimize indexing strategies for low-latency document retrieval at scale
    • Architect multi-stage re-ranking workflows to improve answer precision
