Similarity Search Patterns

Patterns for implementing efficient similarity search in production systems.

Use this skill when

  • Building semantic search systems

  • Implementing RAG retrieval

  • Creating recommendation engines

  • Optimizing search latency

  • Scaling to millions of vectors

  • Combining semantic and keyword search

    • Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to similarity search patterns

  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

    • Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.

  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.

  • Provide actionable steps and verification.

  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
