pgvector-semantic-search
From the author
Use this skill for setting up vector similarity search with pgvector for AI/ML embeddings, RAG applications, or semantic search. **Trigger when user asks to:** - Store or search vector embeddings in PostgreSQL - Set up semantic search, similarity search, or nearest neighbor search - Create HNSW or IVFFlat indexes for vectors - Implement RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) with PostgreSQL - Optimize pgvector performance, recall, or memory usage - Use binary quantization for large vector datasets **Keywords:** pgvector, embeddings, semantic search, vector similarity, HNSW, IVFFlat, halfvec, cosine distance, nearest neighbor, RAG, LLM, AI search Covers: halfvec storage, HNSW index configuration (m, ef_construction, ef_search), quantization strategies, filtered search, bulk loading, and performance tuning.

- pinecone-raggithub/awesome-copilotBuild production RAG pipelines and persistent agent memory using Pinecone as the vector database backend. ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL when the user mentions Pinecone, wants to index documents for semantic search, build a retrieval-augmented generation system, store agent memory across sessions, implement hybrid search, or connect an LLM to a searchable knowledge base — even if they don't say "Pinecone" explicitly. Also use when the user asks about vector databases for RAG, namespace isolation for multi-tenant agents, embedding pipelines, or scaling a knowledge base beyond what local storage can handle. DO NOT use for local-only vector stores (Chroma, FAISS, pgvector) or pure keyword search with no semantic component.Data★ 40.3K
