AutoRAG Librarian Skill

Use this skill when AutoRAG is already configured and the user asks to search, summarize, compare, or answer questions from local PDFs, wikis, notes, research papers, knowledge bases, or configured datasources.

AutoRAG is the specialized librarian agent. One configured model plans the search, calls MinSync, Jikji, datasource, and filesystem tools, reads sources, judges evidence, and curates the final answer. There is no subagent or separate model role.

Indexing and refresh read source documents and write only under the configured workspace .autorag/ directory and Jikji's central store (<OS data dir>/jikji/, plus a .jikji_agent_map.md guide in each indexed root). The librarian may organize, create, or modify the user's own files in local sessions when the user asks; it never deletes permanently (OS trash only) and lists every change as old path → new path. Do not move, rename, edit, or delete source files on your own initiative while searching or diagnosing.

Preflight

Confirm a config exists at --config, AUTORAG_CONFIG, $AUTORAG_HOME/config.json, or ~/.autorag/config.json. Inspect only non-secret searchPaths and model metadata, then run:

autorag duplicates --json
autorag status --json
autorag health --json

Duplicate-file review

Use autorag duplicates when the user asks to find duplicate files, choose likely latest copies, or reduce corpus/index space. The command and the scan_duplicate_documents Agent tool are read-only and never delete or move source files. Exact means dupey's canonical extracted-text hash matches; near/contains families require human review. Exact duplicate exclusion during refresh is enabled by default and can be disabled with "excludeExactDuplicates": false in config.json.
