agentdb-vector-search-optimization

agentdb-vector-search-optimization is a skill for Claude Code from DNYoussef/context-cascade. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,827 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for making AgentDB vector searches use less memory and return results faster. It covers compression, HNSW indexes, caching, and batch operations for large collections of vectors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to measure search performance, reduce vector storage with quantization, add faster indexes, and process searches or inserts in batches.
Why use it?
It helps address slow searches, high memory use, and scaling problems when a vector database grows to millions of items.

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

agentdb-vector-search-optimization 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 1mo 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.

AgentDB Vector Search Optimization


LIBRARY-FIRST PROTOCOL (MANDATORY)

Before writing ANY code, you MUST check:

Step 1: Library Catalog

  • Location: .claude/library/catalog.json
  • If match >70%: REUSE or ADAPT

Step 2: Patterns Guide

  • Location: .claude/docs/inventories/LIBRARY-PATTERNS-GUIDE.md
  • If pattern exists: FOLLOW documented approach

Step 3: Existing Projects

  • Location: D:\Projects\*
  • If found: EXTRACT and adapt

Decision Matrix

Match Action
Library >90% REUSE directly
Library 70-90% ADAPT minimally
Pattern exists FOLLOW pattern
In project EXTRACT
No match BUILD (add to library after)

Overview

Optimize AgentDB performance with quantization (4-32x memory reduction), HNSW indexing (150x faster search), caching, and batch operations for scaling to millions of vectors.

SOP Framework: 5-Phase Optimization

Phase 1: Baseline Performance (1 hour)

  • Measure current metrics (latency, throughput, memory)
  • Identify bottlenecks
  • Set optimization targets

Phase 2: Apply Quantization (1-2 hours)

  • Configure product quantization
  • Train codebooks
  • Apply compression
  • Validate accuracy

Phase 3: Implement HNSW Indexing (1-2 hours)

  • Build HNSW index
  • Tune parameters (M, efConstruction, efSearch)
  • Benchmark speedup

Phase 4: Configure Caching (1 hour)

  • Implement query cache
  • Set TTL and eviction policies
  • Monitor hit rates

Phase 5: Benchmark Results (1-2 hours)

  • Run comprehensive benchmarks
  • Compare before/after
  • Validate improvements

Quick Start

import { AgentDB, Quantization, QueryCache } from 'agentdb-optimization';

const db = new AgentDB({ name: 'optimized-db', dimensions: 1536 });

// Quantization (4x memory reduction)
const quantizer = new Quantization({
  method: 'product-quantization',
  compressionRatio: 4
});
await db.applyQuantization(quantizer);

// HNSW indexing (150x speedup)
await db.createIndex({
  type: 'hnsw',
  params: { M: 16, efConstruction: 200 }
});

// Caching
db.setCache(new QueryCache({
  maxSize: 10000,
  ttl: 3600000
}));

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.

agentdb-vector-search-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository DNYoussef/context-cascade (32 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,827 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
