Local Knowledge

Build and query a private local knowledge base from a local directory or file.

Purpose

Use this skill when the user wants:

• to point an agent at a local folder of documents
• to search for specific information inside a local directory or a single local file
• to build a local semantic index for that folder or file
• to search local knowledge by natural-language query
• to retrieve relevant context so the agent can answer from local files
• to install and use a local embedding model without installing Ollama or running a local LLM

The skill uses a local embedding model through sentence-transformers and stores a local Chroma index.

Default mode is text. Multimodal retrieval is an advanced opt-in mode and only runs when the user explicitly passes --mode multimodal.
