vector-skills-retriever

vector-skills-retriever is a skill for Claude Code from davidliuk/graph-of-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (409 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local search tool that finds relevant specialised coding guides by comparing the meaning of a task with stored skills. It returns a limited bundle of matching guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before tasks that may need specialised domain knowledge, scripts, references, or procedures.
Why use it?
It helps locate useful project instructions when the needed knowledge is not already obvious. This reduces manual searching through a large skill library.

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

vector-skills-retriever 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 13d 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.

What it actually says

Purpose

Use this skill when the task likely needs specialized domain knowledge, scripts, or references that are not already obvious from the current context.

This retriever uses embedding similarity only. It does not use graph edges, graph propagation, or lexical expansion.

Retrieve Relevant Skills

Run:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY="${OPENROUTER_API_KEY:-$OPENAI_API_KEY}" \
OPENAI_API_KEY="${OPENROUTER_API_KEY:-$OPENAI_API_KEY}" \
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 \
GOS_EMBEDDING_MODEL=openai/text-embedding-3-large \
GOS_EMBEDDING_DIM=3072 \
vectorskills-query "short description of the task or current subproblem"

Diagnostic rule: do not suppress stderr and do not replace failures with fallback text. If vectorskills-query fails, keep the original stderr visible and note the real exit code so the failure remains diagnosable.

Useful flags:

vectorskills-query "debug spring boot jakarta migration build errors" --top-n 5 --max-context-chars 9000
vectorskills-query "extract text from receipts into xlsx" --json

How To Use The Results

  1. Start with a short task-level query.
  2. Read the returned skill bundle.
  3. Follow the retrieved skill instructions and inspect any referenced files under /opt/graphskills/skills/<skill-name>/.
  4. Re-query with a narrower subproblem if needed.

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.
