SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of quickly locating relevant information across a workspace’s documents without manually scanning and re-reading everything.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic search over workspace knowledge: Finds relevant text chunks using ChromaDB-backed embeddings instead of keyword-only matching.
  • Document discovery: Lists all available ingested documents in the specified workspace.
  • Full-document retrieval: Pulls the complete contents of a document once you’ve identified it as relevant.

Quick Start

Use the knowledge_search skill to search for governance policies for the Pypes engine by providing the query "governance policies for the Pypes engine" in your request to the tool.

FAQPage Schema
How does semantic search over a workspace knowledge graph work?

Semantic search over a workspace knowledge graph uses ChromaDB-backed local embeddings to retrieve the most relevant document text chunks for a natural-language query. It matches conceptual meaning rather than relying solely on exact keyword matching to locate information.

How do I find specific information across ingested documents without reading everything?

To find specific information across ingested documents, you can use a natural-language query to retrieve relevant text chunks. Once you identify a relevant chunk, you can fetch the complete source document to read the full context without manually scanning the workspace.

Does document retrieval require ChromaDB-backed local embeddings?

Yes, ChromaDB-backed local embeddings are required for this document retrieval skill to function. The semantic search mechanism relies on the ChromaDB integration to process natural-language queries and return relevance scoring for matching text chunks.

What is the best way to list all available documents in a workspace knowledge graph?

The best way to list all available documents in a workspace knowledge graph is to use the document discovery function. This feature enumerates every ingested source within the specified workspace so you can see what is available before searching.

Can I retrieve the full contents of a document after finding a relevant text chunk?

Yes, you can retrieve the full contents of a document after finding a relevant text chunk. The full-document retrieval function pulls the complete source file from the workspace once you have identified it as relevant during your search.

When should I use semantic search instead of keyword-only matching for information discovery?

You should use semantic search for information discovery when your queries are natural-language questions rather than exact phrases. Semantic search interprets conceptual meaning using embeddings, making it more effective for locating relevant text chunks when exact keywords are unknown.
