Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00104 | $0.01272 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00636 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00254 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
qdrant-search-quality-diagnosis 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to qdrant-search-quality-diagnosis — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
How to Diagnose Bad Search Quality
Before tuning, establish baselines. Use exact KNN as ground truth, compare against approximate HNSW. Target >95% recall@K for production.
Don't Know What's Wrong Yet
Use when: results are irrelevant or missing expected matches and you need to isolate the cause.
- For a no-code quick check, use the Web UI's ANN Recall tab to compare approximate vs exact
recall@kWeb UI ANN Recall - For the same comparison in code (CI gating, regression tests), run each query twice — once approximate, once with
exact=true— and computerecall@kfrom the overlap ANN recall in CI - Exact search bad = model or search pipeline problem. Exact good, approximate bad = tune HNSW.
- Check if quantization degrades quality (compare with and without)
- Check if filters are too restrictive (then you might need to use ACORN)
- If duplicate results from chunked documents, use Grouping API to deduplicate Grouping
Payload filtering and sparse vector search are different things. Metadata (dates, categories, tags) goes in payload for filtering. Text content goes in sparse vectors for search.
Approximate Search Worse Than Exact
Use when: exact search returns good results but HNSW approximation misses them.
- Increase
hnsw_efat query time Search params - Increase
ef_construct(200+ for high quality) HNSW config - Increase
m(16 default, 32 for high recall) HNSW config - Enable oversampling + rescore with quantization Search with quantization
- ACORN for filtered queries (v1.16+) ACORN
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.

qdrant-search-quality-diagnosis is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecondLifes/code-intel (2 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 1,272 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to qdrant-search-quality-diagnosis, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
