Tangle Help
A self-contained CLI RAG over the TangleML docs lives under
tangle-rag-bundle/. Use it to answer documentation,
concept, and how-to questions about Tangle. For live run/execution data use the
tangle_* API tools instead — this skill only knows the docs.
tangle-rag-bundle/README.md is the source of
truth for full details; the essentials are below.
When to use
- "What is Tangle?", "How do I get started?", "How do I configure X?" — anything
answerable from the TangleML documentation.
- Not for: a specific run's status, logs, artifacts, or metrics. Those stay on
the read-only
tangle_* API tools.
Setup (once)
A prebuilt local Qdrant index ships under
tangle-rag-bundle/rag_data/qdrant/, so ask works offline — you normally do
not need to run index. Install the package once:
cd skills/tangle-help/tangle-rag-bundle
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .
Rebuild the index only if the shipped one is missing or stale (clones
TangleML/website and indexes its docs/):
tangle-rag index
Ask
Primary path — the uv run --system-certs wrapper (no manual venv needed):
cd skills/tangle-help/tangle-rag-bundle
scripts/tangle-ask "What is Tangle?"
Module fallback (inside the installed venv):
python -m tangle_rag ask "How do I get started with Tangle?"
Default mode returns extractive doc excerpts with source citations. Options:
--limit N — number of retrieved chunks (default 5).--llm openai — synthesized answer with citations; requires OPENAI_API_KEY.
Server (optional)
For repeated queries, run the tiny HTTP server and query it over HTTP:
cd skills/tangle-help/tangle-rag-bundle
python scripts/tangle_rag_server.py
