RAG Architecture Skill

Build retrieval-augmented generation systems that ground LLMs in your data.

Core Principle

RAG = Retrieval + Generation. Instead of relying solely on the model's training data, retrieve relevant context at query time and include it in the prompt. This reduces hallucination and enables access to private/current data.
