sentence-transformers

sentence-transformers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davila7/claude-code-templates. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,574 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python framework that turns text, sentences, or images into embeddings: numerical representations that capture meaning. These representations can be compared for similarity, grouped, or searched.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create embeddings for RAG, semantic search, similarity checks, clustering, and text classification.
Why use it?
It provides ready-made models for meaning-based search and comparison, including local and multilingual options. This avoids building an embedding model from scratch.

About the project

Claude Code Templates is a command-line tool and catalogue for configuring Anthropic’s Claude Code with agents, commands, settings, hooks, integrations, skills, and project templates. Developers use it to browse and install reusable components for their coding workflows. The catalogue includes many of these Claude Code components.

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

sentence-transformers 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 4d 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.

Sentence Transformers - State-of-the-Art Embeddings

Python framework for sentence and text embeddings using transformers.

When to use Sentence Transformers

Use when:

  • Need high-quality embeddings for RAG
  • Semantic similarity and search
  • Text clustering and classification
  • Multilingual embeddings (100+ languages)
  • Running embeddings locally (no API)
  • Cost-effective alternative to OpenAI embeddings

Metrics:

  • 15,700+ GitHub stars
  • 5000+ pre-trained models
  • 100+ languages supported
  • Based on PyTorch/Transformers

Use alternatives instead:

  • OpenAI Embeddings: Need API-based, highest quality
  • Instructor: Task-specific instructions
  • Cohere Embed: Managed service

Quick start

Installation

pip install sentence-transformers

Basic usage

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Load model
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

# Generate embeddings
sentences = [
    "This is an example sentence",
    "Each sentence is converted to a vector"
]

embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)  # (2, 384)

# Cosine similarity
from sentence_transformers.util import cos_sim
similarity = cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1])
print(f"Similarity: {similarity.item():.4f}")

General purpose

# Fast, good quality (384 dim)
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

# Better quality (768 dim)
model = SentenceTransformer('all-mpnet-base-v2')

# Best quality (1024 dim, slower)
model = SentenceTransformer('all-roberta-large-v1')

Multilingual

# 50+ languages
model = SentenceTransformer('paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2')

# 100+ languages
model = SentenceTransformer('paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2')

Domain-specific

# Legal domain
model = SentenceTransformer('nlpaueb/legal-bert-base-uncased')

# Scientific papers
model = SentenceTransformer('allenai/specter')

# Code
model = SentenceTransformer('microsoft/codebert-base')

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.

sentence-transformers is a skill published in the GitHub repository davila7/claude-code-templates (30,546 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,574 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
