AgentDB Vector Search

AgentDB Vector Search is a skill for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruflo. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,392 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of AgentDB Vector Search, MIT.

A vector-search system for finding documents and other information by meaning rather than exact words. It supports retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, where an AI looks up relevant source material before answering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a vector database, convert content into embeddings, run similarity searches, and build semantic knowledge retrieval.
Why use it?
It helps applications retrieve related knowledge even when the search wording differs from the stored text.

About the project

Ruflo is an execution and coordination layer for Claude Code and Codex that equips AI coding agents with tools, memory, control loops, sandboxes, and collaboration mechanisms. Developers use it to organize specialized agents into swarms, coordinate workflows, retain knowledge across sessions, and communicate across machines. The catalogue entries are Ruflo’s skills, commands, agents, hooks, and plugin 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

AgentDB Vector Search 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.

What This Skill Does

Implements vector-based semantic search using AgentDB's high-performance vector database with 150x-12,500x faster operations than traditional solutions. Features HNSW indexing, quantization, and sub-millisecond search (<100µs).

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • AgentDB v1.0.7+ (via agentic-flow or standalone)
  • OpenAI API key (for embeddings) or custom embedding model

Quick Start with CLI

Initialize Vector Database

# Initialize with default dimensions (1536 for OpenAI ada-002)
npx agentdb@latest init .$vectors.db

# Custom dimensions for different embedding models
npx agentdb@latest init .$vectors.db --dimension 768  # sentence-transformers
npx agentdb@latest init .$vectors.db --dimension 384  # all-MiniLM-L6-v2

# Use preset configurations
npx agentdb@latest init .$vectors.db --preset small   # <10K vectors
npx agentdb@latest init .$vectors.db --preset medium  # 10K-100K vectors
npx agentdb@latest init .$vectors.db --preset large   # >100K vectors

# In-memory database for testing
npx agentdb@latest init .$vectors.db --in-memory

Query Vector Database

# Basic similarity search
npx agentdb@latest query .$vectors.db "[0.1,0.2,0.3,...]"

# Top-k results
npx agentdb@latest query .$vectors.db "[0.1,0.2,0.3]" -k 10

# With similarity threshold (cosine similarity)
npx agentdb@latest query .$vectors.db "0.1 0.2 0.3" -t 0.75 -m cosine

# Different distance metrics
npx agentdb@latest query .$vectors.db "[...]" -m euclidean  # L2 distance
npx agentdb@latest query .$vectors.db "[...]" -m dot        # Dot product

# JSON output for automation
npx agentdb@latest query .$vectors.db "[...]" -f json -k 5

# Verbose output with distances
npx agentdb@latest query .$vectors.db "[...]" -v

Import/Export Vectors

# Export vectors to JSON
npx agentdb@latest export .$vectors.db .$backup.json

# Import vectors from JSON
npx agentdb@latest import .$backup.json

# Get database statistics
npx agentdb@latest stats .$vectors.db

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository ruvnet/ruflo (78,211 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,392 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to AgentDB Vector Search, differing in 60 lines, and is treated as a copy.
