What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

# Knowledge Retrieval

Perform semantic search over a pre-ingested document collection using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Backed by LlamaIndex with ChromaDB or NVIDIA Foundational RAG.

## When to Use

- Searching internal or pre-ingested documents and reports
- Finding information in PDFs, whitepapers, or technical documentation
- Retrieving domain-specific knowledge not available on the open web
- This is the **highest priority** source — check the knowledge base first before web or paper searches

## How to Use

1. Formulate a semantic search query describing the information needed
2. Call `knowledge_retrieval` with the query
3. Review returned chunks for relevance
4. Note the citation metadata (filename, page number) for sourcing

## Result Format

Results are returned as text chunks with citation metadata:

```
Relevant text passage from the ingested document...

Citation: filename.pdf, p.12
```

## Constraints

- Searches only over documents that have been ingested into the knowledge index
- Returns ranked chunks based on semantic similarity
- Citation format: `Citation: filename.ext, p.X`
- Each call counts toward the researcher's 8-call limit per task

## Backend Options

- **LlamaIndex + ChromaDB** — Local vector store with LlamaIndex orchestration
- **NVIDIA Foundational RAG** — NVIDIA-hosted RAG service with NeMo Retriever

Questions

What does the Knowledge Retrieval skill do?

A framework-agnostic, git-native standard for defining AI agents

Is Knowledge Retrieval safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Knowledge Retrieval access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (799d6d0ad18c), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
