sentence-transformers SKILL.md skillA
sentence-transformers from orchestra-research/ai-research-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add orchestra-research/ai-research-skills/sentence-transformers@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Framework for state-of-the-art sentence, text, and image embeddings. Provides 5000+ pre-trained models for semantic similarity, clustering, and retrieval. Supports multilingual, domain-specific, and multimodal models. Use for generating embeddings for RAG, semantic search, or similarity tasks. Best for production embedding generation.
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
# Sentence Transformers - State-of-the-Art Embeddings
Python framework for sentence and text embeddings using transformers.
## When to use Sentence Transformers
**Use when:**
- Need high-quality embeddings for RAG
- Semantic similarity and search
- Text clustering and classification
- Multilingual embeddings (100+ languages)
- Running embeddings locally (no API)
- Cost-effective alternative to OpenAI embeddings
**Metrics**:
- **15,700+ GitHub stars**
- **5000+ pre-trained models**
- **100+ languages** supported
- Based on PyTorch/Transformers
**Use alternatives instead**:
- **OpenAI Embeddings**: Need API-based, highest quality
- **Instructor**: Task-specific instructions
- **Cohere Embed**: Managed service
## Quick start
### Installation
```bash
pip install sentence-transformers
```
### Basic usage
```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
# Load model
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
# Generate embeddings
sentences = [
"This is an example sentence",
"Each sentence is converted to a vector"
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape) # (2, 384)
# Cosine similarity

How to install
mdr add orchestra-research/ai-research-skills/sentence-transformers@sha256:fca19457be4e78f0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
