Use this skill when building, debugging, or improving Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems, including chunking, vector database selection, hybrid search, reranking, multimodal RAG, code documentation RAG, retrieval latency, and production RAG architecture.
Chunk nested documents into parent-child levels so retrieval can move from broad sections to fine-grained passages.
Use semantic boundaries and embedding similarity to chunk text for higher-relevance retrieval.
Route RAG chunking decisions across semantic, hierarchical, sliding-window, contextual-header, and framework-selection strategies.
Use overlapping windows to preserve context across chunk boundaries while controlling retrieval size.
Reduce retrieval latency with caching, batching, and index-level optimization.

Multi-pass retrieval with reranking is a two-stage approach that first retrieves a broad set of candidates using fast bi-encoder search, then refines them using a more accurate but slower cross-encoder reranker. This balances recall and relevance while maintaining acceptable latency.
Single-stage retrieval has inherent trade-offs:
Implement the first-stage retrieval using your vector database.
Why: Bi-encoder retrieval is fast and scalable but produces approximate scores - suitable for the first pass to narrow candidates.
Implement the second-stage reranking for accurate scoring.
Why: Cross-encoders produce more accurate relevance scores by jointly encoding query-document pairs, but are too slow for full-scale retrieval.
Dynamically adjust retrieval parameters based on query characteristics.
Why: Adaptive retrieval ensures complex queries get more candidates for reranking while simple queries remain fast.
Combine all components into a complete retrieval pipeline.
Why: A unified pipeline with timing and explanation makes it easy to optimize and debug the retrieval system.
Add caching and optimizations for production use.
Why: Caching reduces computation for repeated queries, which is common in production systems.
