vector-index-tuning SKILL.md skillA
vector-index-tuning from dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/vector-index-tuning@git:20260205.788be98Pins git:20260205.788be98 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Optimize vector index performance for latency, recall, and memory. Use when tuning HNSW parameters, selecting quantization strategies, or scaling vector search infrastructure.
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
# Vector Index Tuning Guide to optimizing vector indexes for production performance. ## When to Use This Skill - Tuning HNSW parameters - Implementing quantization - Optimizing memory usage - Reducing search latency - Balancing recall vs speed - Scaling to billions of vectors ## Core Concepts ### 1. Index Type Selection ``` Data Size Recommended Index ──────────────────────────────────────── < 10K vectors → Flat (exact search) 10K - 1M → HNSW 1M - 100M → HNSW + Quantization > 100M → IVF + PQ or DiskANN ``` ### 2. HNSW Parameters | Parameter | Default | Effect | | ------------------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | **M** | 16 | Connections per node, ↑ = better recall, more memory | | **efConstruction** | 100 | Build quality, ↑ = better index, slower build | | **efSearch** | 50 | Search quality, ↑ = better recall, slower search | ### 3. Quantization Types ``` Full Precision (FP32): 4 bytes × dimensions Half Precision (FP16): 2 bytes × dimensions INT8 Scalar: 1 byte × dimensions …

How to install
mdr add dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/vector-index-tuning@sha256:4525556e6f76313bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260205.788be98, 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.
