What problem does it solve? Building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system involves many interdependent decisions—embedding models, vector databases, chunking strategies, retrieval methods, and evaluation—and this Skill provides a structured eight-phase workflow that guides you through each one. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phased RAG Workflow: Eight phases from requirements analysis through embedding selection, vector database setup, chunking, retrieval, LLM integration, caching, and evaluation. - Skill Orchestration: Each phase references specialized skills (e.g., embedding-strategies, vector-database-engineer, hybrid-search-implementation) with copy-paste prompts. - Quality Gates: Checklists verify that embeddings, vector DB, chunking, retrieval, LLM integration, and evaluation are complete. - Use Case: When building a document Q&A system, follow the phases to select an embedding model, configure a vector database, implement hybrid search with reranking, and evaluate retrieval accuracy before launch. ## Quick Start Use the rag-implementation skill to plan and build a RAG pipeline for my document question-answering application.
