Choose by situation

Data modeling

• What should go into vectors vs payload vs your main DB? Read:

  references/modeling.md

  .
• Working with IDs, upserts, and write semantics? Read:

  references/points.md

  .
• Need to understand payload types and update modes? Read:

  references/payload.md

  .

Retrieval (search)

• One consolidated entry point (search + filtering + explore + hybrid):

  references/retrieval.md

  .

Performance & indexing

• Index types and tradeoffs:

  .

Deployment & ops

• Installation/Docker/Kubernetes:

  .
• Configuration layering:

  .
• Security/auth/TLS boundary:

  references/security.md

  .
• Backup/restore:

API interface choice

• REST vs gRPC, Python SDK:

  .

How to maintain this skill

• Keep

  SKILL.md

  short (router + usage guidance).
• Put details into

  references/*.md

  .
• Merge or reorganize references when it improves discoverability.

Critical prohibitions

• Do not ingest/quote large verbatim chunks of vendor docs; summarize in your own words.
• Do not invent defaults not explicitly grounded in documentation; record uncertainties as TODOs.
• Do not design backup/restore without testing a restore path.
• Do not use NFS as the primary persistence backend (installation docs explicitly warn against it).
• Do not expose internal cluster communication ports publicly; rely on private networking.
• Do not use API keys/JWT over untrusted networks without TLS.
• Do not rely on implicit runtime defaults for production; record effective configuration.
