hybrid-search-implementation

hybrid-search-implementation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RudyCity/superagent. It costs 35 tokens per session (421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search design that combines meaning-based matching with exact keyword matching. RAG, or retrieval-augmented generation, is a way to give an AI model relevant source material before it answers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building RAG systems and search engines that merge vector-search results with keyword results and optionally rank the combined list.
Why use it?
It improves results when semantic search misses exact names, codes, or specialist terms, or when keyword search misses related wording.

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

hybrid-search-implementation 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 7d 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

Hybrid Search Implementation

Patterns for combining vector similarity and keyword-based search.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building RAG systems with improved recall
  • Combining semantic understanding with exact matching
  • Handling queries with specific terms (names, codes)
  • Improving search for domain-specific vocabulary
  • When pure vector search misses keyword matches

Core Concepts

1. Hybrid Search Architecture

Query → ┬─► Vector Search ──► Candidates ─┐
        │                                  │
        └─► Keyword Search ─► Candidates ─┴─► Fusion ─► Results

2. Fusion Methods

Method Description Best For
RRF Reciprocal Rank Fusion General purpose
Linear Weighted sum of scores Tunable balance
Cross-encoder Rerank with neural model Highest quality
Cascade Filter then rerank Efficiency

Templates and detailed worked examples

Best Practices

Do's

  • Tune weights empirically - Test on your data
  • Use RRF for simplicity - Works well without tuning
  • Add reranking - Significant quality improvement
  • Log both scores - Helps with debugging
  • A/B test - Measure real user impact

Don'ts

  • Don't assume one size fits all - Different queries need different weights
  • Don't skip keyword search - Handles exact matches better
  • Don't over-fetch - Balance recall vs latency
  • Don't ignore edge cases - Empty results, single word queries

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.

hybrid-search-implementation is a skill published in the GitHub repository RudyCity/superagent (21 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 421 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
