chromy This skill provides access to a RAG-like context enhancer that uses Chromadb locally.

Chromy

Whenever the user asks to "use chromy", you should invoke chromy, which is a cli tool to perform RAG search. The tool should be available in the $PATH as chromy.

You have access to these commands:

  • $ chromy list-collections -> Lists the existing collections.
  • $ chromy query <collection> <query> -> Performs a query. Be sure to quote the <query> if this is composed by multiple words.

Then use the response from Chromy to enhance the context and give the user a refined response.

A note on file sources

The Chromy response returns the metadatas for the chunks it finds. Among these metadatas, there is file_name, which refers to the original file that was chunked and imported. DO NOT ATTEMPT to find or fetch these files. They most likely do not exist in the filesystem. You SHOULD ALWAYS however cite correctly from which files (ONLY from Chromy's metadatas) the information is coming.

Example use case

START

User query:

Search in Chromy information about lovecraft's Dunwich horror.

Step 1: Get the available collections with chromy list-collections. The output is:

lovecraft
documents

Most likely our information is in the lovecraft collection. We will use that for the query.

Step 2: Query using chromy query lovecraft <query>. The query is up to you, create one keeping into account that this is a raw query on a vector DB. Be concise, extract keywords, avoid noise.

Step 3: Get the results, enhance the context, and respond to the user.
