langchain-rag

langchain-rag is a skill for Claude Code from langchain-ai/langchain-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (3,729 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

Guidance for building retrieval-augmented generation systems, which let an AI find relevant information in documents before answering. It covers loading documents, splitting them into pieces, turning text into searchable representations, and storing them for retrieval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load and prepare documents, create searchable representations with OpenAI embeddings, and store them in Chroma, FAISS, or Pinecone.
Why use it?
It helps connect an AI system to a document collection instead of relying only on what the model already knows.

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 B, and why

langchain-rag scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

Only opt in to FAISS deserialization for trusted local indexes. Python FAISS indexes include pickle-backed metadata, and untrusted pickle files can execute arbitrary code during loading.

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.
