SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables building knowledge-grounded AI by connecting LLMs to external data through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

Knowledge-grounded chatbots and document Q&A powered by vector stores and semantic search.
Flexible retrieval architectures including dense, sparse, and hybrid search with multiple embeddings options.
End-to-end pipelines with reranking and citation generation to ensure grounded responses.

Use Case: Create a corporate knowledge-base assistant that answers questions with sources and allows users to trace back to original documents.

Quick Start

Prepare your documents, configure a vector store and embeddings, index the data, and run an LLM-based query to see sourced answers.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline for an LLM?▼

Retrieval-augmented generation connects LLMs to external data through vector stores and semantic search. Prepare documents, configure embeddings and a vector store, index the data, then query the LLM with retrieved context to generate grounded responses with sources.

What's the difference between dense, sparse, and hybrid search in RAG systems?▼

Dense search uses embeddings for semantic matching, sparse search relies on keyword overlap, and hybrid search combines both methods. This Skill supports all three retrieval strategies to optimize accuracy across different query types and knowledge-base structures.

Can I use reranking and citation generation with my knowledge-base assistant?▼

Yes. This Skill includes end-to-end pipelines with reranking components to improve retrieval quality and citation generation to ensure responses are traceable to original documents, enabling users to verify grounded answers.

What vector stores and embeddings models does RAG support?▼

RAG pipelines support integration with multiple vector stores and embeddings models through flexible architecture. The Skill handles configuration of these components to enable semantic search over external knowledge bases tailored to your data and scale.

When should I use retrieval-augmented generation instead of fine-tuning?▼

Use RAG when you need to ground responses in current external data without retraining, support document Q&A with citations, or enable updates to knowledge without model redeployment. RAG is ideal for dynamic knowledge bases and traceability requirements.

Do I need to preprocess documents before indexing them in a RAG system?▼

Document preparation is a prerequisite step before RAG indexing. This typically includes cleaning, chunking, and formatting your data so it can be converted to embeddings and stored in the vector store for effective semantic retrieval.
