Diagnoses and improves Qdrant search relevance. An agent skill from qdrant/skills.

  • Someone reports search results are bad
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Irrelevant matches
  • Missing expected results

What it does

Qdrant Search Quality is an agent skill from qdrant/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Diagnoses and improves Qdrant search relevance. Use when someone reports 'search results are bad', 'wrong results', 'low precision', 'low recall', 'irrelevant matches', 'missing expected results', or asks 'how to improve search quality?', 'which embedding model?', 'should I use hybrid search?', 'how to combine keyword and vector search / fusion / RRF / prefetch?', 'should I use reranking?', 'relevance feedback?', 'how to measure retrieval quality?', 'build a golden set', 'ground truth dataset', 'how to score…

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Vector databases, Retrieval-augmented generation and Embeddings. It works with Qdrant. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills for Qdrant vector search: scaling, performance optimization, search quality, monitoring, deployment, model migration, version upgrades, and SDK usage across Python…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone reports search results are bad
  • Irrelevant matches
  • Missing expected results
  • Asks how to improve search quality?

Example prompts

  • “search results are bad”
  • “wrong results”
  • “low precision”
  • “/qdrant-search-quality”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57658ea. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • skills.qdrant.tech

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Qdrant Search Quality loads about 616 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 184 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~184
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~616

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Most quality issues come from the embedding model or the data, not from Qdrant's configuration — splitting chunks mid-sentence alone can drop quality 30-40%. Rule that out with exact search before tuning any Qdrant parameter: Search API
