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 | $0.00096 | $0.00960 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00480 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00096 |
Grade A, and why
qdrant-search-strategies 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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to qdrant-search-strategies — 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 to Improve Search Results with Advanced Strategies
These strategies complement basic vector search. Use them after confirming the embedding model is fitting the task and HNSW config is correct. If exact search returns bad results, verify the selection of the embedding model (retriever) first. If the user wants to use a weaker embedding model because it is small, fast, and cheap, use reranking or relevance feedback to improve search quality.
Missing Keyword Matches or Need to Combine Multiple Search Signals
Use when: pure vector search misses keyword/domain term matches, or the use case benefits from combining searches on multiple representations (including languages and modalities) of the same item.

Right Documents Found But Not in the Top Results
Use when: good recall but poor precision (right docs in top-100, not top-10).
- See how to use Multistage queries, for example with late interaction rerankers through Multivectors.
- Cross-encoder rerankers via FastEmbed Rerankers
Dense Retriever Misses Relevant Items or Reranking Is Too Costly
Use when: dense retriever misses relevant items you know exist in the collection; relevant documents lie outside the initial ANN retrieval pool; reranking a large candidate pool is too slow or expensive; using a small/cheap embedding model but need quality close to a larger model; or want to improve top-1/3 precision without the full cost of reranking.
See Relevance Feedback in Qdrant
Results Too Similar
Use when: top results are redundant, near-duplicates, or lack diversity. Common in dense content domains (academic papers, product catalogs).
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-strategies is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecondLifes/code-intel (2 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 960 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-strategies, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
