What this skill does
Embedding Strategies Guide to selecting and optimizing embedding models for vector search applications. Do not use this skill when The task is unrelated to embedding strategies You need a different domain or tool outside this scope Instructions Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. Provide actionable steps and verification. If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md. Use this skill when Choosing embedding models for RAG Optimizing chunking strategies Fine-tuning embeddings for domains Comparing embedding model performance Reducing embedding dimensions Handling multilingual content Core Concepts 1.
