Design RAG pipelines: chunking, retrieval evaluation, and architecture. Use when building a RAG system, selecting a chunking strategy, choosing a vector database, optimizing retrieval quality, or evaluating with RAGAS metrics.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# RAG Architect

The agent designs, implements, and optimizes production-grade RAG pipelines, from document chunking through evaluation.

## Core Capabilities

- **Chunking strategy selection** — match corpus characteristics to fixed-size, sentence, paragraph, semantic, recursive, or document-aware chunking with sized parameters.
- **Embedding & vector-DB choice** — pick an embedding model (local vs API) and vector store (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Chroma, pgvector) by scale, latency, and cost.
- **Retrieval design** — dense, sparse (BM25), or hybrid retrieval with Reciprocal Rank Fusion plus cross-encoder reranking when precision must exceed 0.85.
- **Query transformations** — HyDE, multi-query, and step-back techniques for style mismatch and ambiguous queries.
- **Guardrails** — PII detection, hallucination/NLI checks, source attribution, confidence scoring, and injection prevention.
- **Evaluation** — RAGAS faithfulness/relevance plus IR metrics (Precision@K, Recall@K, MRR, NDCG) with failure analysis.
- **Production patterns** — caching, streaming, fallbacks, incremental re-indexing, and cost control.

## When to Use

- Building a RAG system end to end.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/rag-architect@sha256:94eacf2bb0ea9ee3

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
