What it does

Embeddings is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Vector embeddings with HNSW indexing, sql.js persistence, and hyperbolic support. 75x faster with agentic-flow integration. Use when: semantic search, pattern matching, similarity queries, knowledge retrieval. Skip when: exact text matching, simple lookups, no semantic understanding needed.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 Embeddings and Vector databases. It works with SQL. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : semantic search
  • Pattern matching
  • Similarity queries
  • Knowledge retrieval

Example prompts

  • “/embeddings”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use HNSW for large pattern databases
  2. Enable quantization for memory efficiency
  3. Use hyperbolic for hierarchical relationships
  4. Normalize embeddings for consistency

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6051f67. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Embeddings loads about 455 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~455

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.

Questions about Embeddings

What does Embeddings do?

Vector embeddings with HNSW indexing, sql.js persistence, and hyperbolic support. Embeddings is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo.js persistence, and hyperbolic support.

When should I use Embeddings?

Embeddings fits situations like: : semantic search; pattern matching; similarity queries; knowledge retrieval.

How do I install Embeddings in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill embeddings -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/embeddings in ruvnet/ruflo) into .claude/skills/embeddings in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Embeddings in Codex?

Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill embeddings -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/embeddings in ruvnet/ruflo) into .agents/skills/embeddings in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Embeddings in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill embeddings -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/embeddings, .gemini/skills/embeddings, .github/skills/embeddings and .opencode/skills/embeddings in your project.

What does Embeddings need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Embeddings needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx). Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Embeddings access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Embeddings safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Embeddings use?

Embeddings is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Embeddings use?

About 455 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Embeddings?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Embeddings: DB (oracle/skills, 873 stars), Google Cloud Solution RAG Enterprise Search Gke Sqldb (google/skills, 21k stars), Supabase (sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills, 663 stars) and Cortexdb (liliang-cn/cortexdb, 274 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
