vector-databases skillA

vector-databases is agent-read markdown (skill) from jnpiyush/agentx: Choose, configure, and operate vector databases for embeddings and hybrid search. Covers Azure AI Search, Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate, Milvus, pgvector, LanceDB, MongoDB Atlas Vector, Elasticsearch / OpenSearch kNN. Selection criteria, index types (HNSW, IVF, DiskANN), filters, hybrid (BM25 + vector), embedding model selection, sharding, cost..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Vector Databases

> **Purpose**: Pick the right vector store, configure it for production, and avoid the failure modes that wreck retrieval quality.

---

## When to Use This Skill

- Choosing a vector store (existing infra reuse vs purpose-built)
- Sizing index, picking distance metric, configuring HNSW/IVF/DiskANN parameters
- Implementing hybrid search (keyword + vector) with reranking
- Adding metadata filters, namespaces, multi-tenancy
- Operating at scale (sharding, replication, cost)

---

## Selection Decision Tree

```
Already running PostgreSQL?  -> Start with pgvector + HNSW. Migrate later if you outgrow it.
Already running Elastic / OpenSearch / Mongo? -> Use their native vector index.
Pure managed vector DB needed? -> Pinecone (serverless), Qdrant Cloud, Weaviate Cloud
Need Microsoft / Azure ecosystem fit? -> Azure AI Search (hybrid + reranker built-in)
Local / embedded / OSS-only? -> LanceDB or Qdrant local
Massive scale (>500M vectors), dense recall? -> Milvus + DiskANN, or Pinecone enterprise
```

How to install

Latest version
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/vector-databases@v1.0.0
Exact content
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/vector-databases@sha256:d600bd3723d29414

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
