rag-implementation

rag-implementation is a skill for Claude Code from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,213 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for building retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, systems that find relevant source material before an AI model writes an answer. It covers embeddings, vector databases, document splitting, retrieval, and evaluation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build knowledge-grounded AI apps, semantic search, document question-answering, or retrieval evaluations.
Why use it?
It helps reduce answers that are unsupported because the model was given the wrong context. It provides a way to plan and measure the search part of a document question-answering system.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

rag-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 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.

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.

rag-implementation is a skill published in the GitHub repository sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills (49,614 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,213 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-11-12.
