SKILL.md
RAG Reranking Skill
Capabilities
- Implement cross-encoder reranking models
- Configure Maximal Marginal Relevance (MMR) filtering
- Set up Cohere Rerank integration
- Design multi-stage retrieval pipelines
- Implement diversity-aware reranking
- Configure score normalization and thresholds
Target Processes
- advanced-rag-patterns
- rag-pipeline-implementation
Implementation Details
Reranking Methods
- Cross-Encoder Reranking: Sentence-transformer cross-encoders
- Cohere Rerank: Cohere rerank-v3 API
- MMR Reranking: Diversity-aware result filtering
- LLM Reranking: Using LLM for relevance scoring
- Reciprocal Rank Fusion: Combining multiple retrievers
Configuration Options
- Reranking model selection
- Top-k after reranking
- MMR lambda (relevance vs diversity)
- Score threshold filtering
- Batch size for reranking
Best Practices
- Use cross-encoders for quality
- Balance relevance and diversity
- Set appropriate thresholds
- Monitor reranking latency
Dependencies
- sentence-transformers
- cohere (optional)

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).

model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.

verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
