RAG Workflow Planner

What this skill does

This skill walks through your RAG use case requirements and designs a complete, production-ready Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline. It recommends a chunking strategy, embedding model, vector store, retrieval approach, and reranking strategy — each choice justified against your specific requirements. The output includes an ASCII architecture diagram, a component-by-component breakdown, and a starter code outline.

Use this when you're starting a new RAG project or when an existing RAG pipeline is producing poor retrieval quality and you want a systematic redesign.

How to use

Claude Code / Cline

Copy this file to .agents/skills/rag-workflow-planner/SKILL.md in your project root.

Then describe your use case and ask:

• "Use the RAG Workflow Planner skill to design a pipeline for our customer support chatbot."
• "Plan a RAG architecture for our internal knowledge base search using the RAG Workflow Planner skill."

The more detail you provide about document types, query patterns, and latency requirements, the more precise the output.
