description	Precision RAG search over your Obsidian vault. Find exactly and precisely the relevant information on a topic using multi-strategy retrieval, passage-level chunking, and AI reranking. Use when you need exact matches, precise extraction, or to filter vault content to only what's relevant.

Filter Skill

Precision RAG: returns only the most relevant passages on a topic using multi-strategy retrieval, passage-level chunking, and AI reranking.

Filter vs RAG: Filter finds exactly where X is discussed (precise passages). RAG answers "what do I know about X?" (broad synthesis).

Usage

python3 _scripts/filter_query.py "Alpha Vantage API"
python3 _scripts/filter_query.py "habit tracking" --expand --save

Options

• query — Topic to search for (required)
• --threshold N — Min relevance score 0–10 (default: 7; use 8+ for stricter)
• --top-k N — Max passages to return (default: 15)
• --expand — Include wikilink neighbors (hybrid mode)
• --no-rerank — Skip AI reranking (faster, less precise)
• --save — Save to vault

Output

Sources/Filter - YYYY-MM-DD.md (passages with [[note]] citations and relevance scores)
