rag

rag is a plugin for Claude Code from Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs. Its manifest loads nothing; the 5 skills it bundles cost 305 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for building systems that find relevant information and give it to an AI model before it answers. It covers vector databases and models for turning text into searchable representations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build semantic search, document retrieval, and retrieval-augmented generation systems.
Why use it?
It helps AI applications answer questions using your documents or data instead of relying only on the model's built-in knowledge.

Plugin for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code plugin manifest.

About the project

AI Research Skills Library is a collection of reusable instructions that guide AI agents through research and machine-learning engineering tasks, from finding ideas and writing papers to training, evaluation, and deployment. It is for configuring agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini to perform research workflows.

Security

Grade A, and why

rag 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 2d 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.

Contents

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 5 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 305 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside marketplace.json#rag in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
