At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user wants to rebuild or refresh ScholarAIO keyword, full-text, FTS5, FAISS, or semantic search indexes after data or metadata changes.

  • The user wants to rebuild
  • SKILL.md covers 执行逻辑 and 示例
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Refresh ScholarAIO keyword

What it does

Index is an agent skill from ZimoLiao/scholaraio. Use when the user wants to rebuild or refresh ScholarAIO keyword, full-text, FTS5, FAISS, or semantic search indexes after data or metadata changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 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 Databases, covering Vector databases. The repository describes itself as: Scholar All-In-One: A research infrastructure for AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to rebuild
  • Refresh ScholarAIO keyword
  • Semantic search indexes after data
  • Metadata changes

Example prompts

  • “/index”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 777628b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Index loads about 196 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 37 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~196

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.

重建索引

重建 FTS5 全文检索索引或 FAISS 语义向量索引。

执行逻辑

更新 FTS5 全文索引(增量):

bash
scholaraio index

重建 FTS5 全文索引:

bash
scholaraio index --rebuild

更新证据片段索引(增量):

bash
scholaraio index --chunks

重建证据片段索引:

bash
scholaraio index --chunks --rebuild

更新语义向量索引(增量):

bash
scholaraio embed

重建语义向量索引:

bash
scholaraio embed --rebuild

两者都更新:

bash
scholaraio pipeline reindex

示例

用户说:"重建索引" → 执行 pipeline reindex

用户说:"只重建全文索引" → 执行 index --rebuild

用户说:"重建证据片段索引" 或 "让搜索能定位到原文行号" → 执行 index --chunks --rebuild

用户说:"更新向量" → 执行 embed
