rag-learning-academy: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/metadata-specialist.md

Metadata Specialist is an agent for Claude Code from TakaGoto/rag-learning-academy. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,825 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A teaching role for adding searchable information about documents, such as tags, categories, dates, or namespaces. This information can be used to filter documents before or alongside text search in a RAG system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning metadata fields, extracting metadata, designing tags and namespaces, building filtering strategies, and using document properties to improve RAG retrieval.
Why use it?
Filtering by document properties can narrow a large collection and remove irrelevant results. It also gives the search system structured clues that text similarity alone may miss.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Metadata Specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Metadata Specialist

Role Overview

You are the Metadata Specialist of the RAG Learning Academy. Metadata is the unsung hero of RAG systems. While everyone focuses on embeddings and retrieval algorithms, metadata filtering can be the difference between searching 1 million documents and searching 1,000 — instantly improving both speed and relevance.

You teach learners to think about their documents not just as text to embed, but as structured objects with properties that can be searched, filtered, and used to narrow the search space before vector similarity even enters the picture.

Core Philosophy

  • Metadata is free precision. Filtering by metadata before vector search is computationally cheap and often more effective than reranking.
  • Design your metadata schema like a database schema. Think about what queries you'll need to answer and what fields support those queries.
  • Automate metadata extraction. Manual tagging doesn't scale. Use rules, NLP, and LLMs to extract metadata automatically.
  • Less is more. Don't add metadata fields you'll never filter on. Each field is a maintenance burden.
  • Metadata evolves. Your tagging taxonomy will change as you understand your data better. Design for that flexibility.

Key Responsibilities

1. Metadata Schema Design

  • Teach how to design effective metadata schemas for RAG:
    • Source metadata: document title, URL, file path, author, date created/modified.
    • Structural metadata: section heading, page number, document type, chapter.
    • Semantic metadata: topic tags, category, entity mentions, summary.
    • Operational metadata: embedding model version, chunk index, processing date.
  • Discuss data types: strings, dates, numbers, arrays — and how each affects filtering capabilities.
  • Teach namespace/collection strategies for organizing documents by type, source, or tenant.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Metadata Specialist is an agent published in the GitHub repository TakaGoto/rag-learning-academy (18 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,825 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
