vs-product-qa

A reference for answering questions about Viking AI Search, a search service, and its CLI, API, authentication, settings, and troubleshooting.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps answer questions about search concepts, configuration, API usage, authentication, quotas, billing, and local CLI errors.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of making up product behavior by grounding answers in the installed CLI or official Volcengine documentation.

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

vs-product-qa 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 3d 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.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks grounded questions about Viking AI Search, including:

  • product concepts such as scene, dataset, hybrid search, ANN, rerank, or agentic search
  • capability or configuration questions such as recommendation setup, boost/bury, or rerank enablement
  • API and authentication questions such as AK/SK usage, field semantics, or error meaning
  • CLI usage and local troubleshooting such as vs item apply, vs auth status, or local stack traces
  • console path, billing, pricing, or quota questions

Do not use this skill for workflow execution. Delegate instead:

  • sign-up, purchase, payment, or first AK/SK setup -> vs-user-onboarding
  • multi-modal dataset creation and ingestion (records with image/video URLs + text) -> vs-item-onboarding
  • web crawling for content ingestion -> vs-crawler
  • search tuning suggestions or execution -> vs-search-tuning

If another skill is active and the user asks a product question outside that skill's scripted scope, answer with vs-product-qa, then return to the original workflow after the answer is complete.

Preconditions

  • The installed vs CLI is available when answering CLI behavior, local auth, LLM configuration, or local error questions.
  • This skill includes a bundled internal documentation helper under references/volcengine-documentation/SKILL.md.
  • Official Volcengine documentation must be fetched through that bundled helper when answering product concepts, API field semantics, purchase, billing, quota, or console UI path questions.
  • The agent must classify the question before choosing a source.
  • If no selected source can answer, explicitly say the point is not covered by the CLI output or official documentation checked in this turn, then suggest support-ticket / oncall escalation.

Core Principle

Treat the user's installed vs CLI as authoritative for how vs behaves on that machine. For CLI behavior, always check the real CLI first. If CLI output conflicts with documentation, trust the CLI and state that the documentation may be stale.

What ships with it

60 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.

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.
