Vector Search Optimization
Software development skill, available on Zeplik
Vector Search Optimization is a ready-to-run software development skill on Zeplik. Not for chunking (use embedding-strategies) or fusion (use hybrid-search-implementation). Ask in plain language and Zeplik applies the skill's method for you inside the conversation, on whichever AI model you prefer.
The Vector Search Optimization skill loads automatically when your request matches it, or you can invoke it directly by typing /vector-search-optimization in any chat. It works with attachments, connectors, and any model that supports the task, so you get the same expert method every time without setting anything up.
What the Vector Search Optimization skill can do
- Tune HNSW and IVF parameters for recall versus latency tradeoffs
- Recommend similarity metric and exact versus ANN search strategy
- Plan memory sizing and capacity for large vector collections
- Diagnose filtered search performance issues across major vector stores

How the Vector Search Optimization skill works
/vector-search-optimization
Umbrella skill for production vector search performance: index selection and parameter tuning, recall/latency trade-offs, similarity metric choice, filtered search, and capacity planning across pgvector, FAISS, Qdrant, Weaviate, Milvus, and managed stores. The user describes their store, scale, and symptom; deliver concrete parameters, benchmarks to run, and migration steps. For what to embed and how to chunk use embedding-strategies; for combining keyword and vector ranking use hybrid-search-implementation; for whole-RAG architecture use rag-implementation.
Dispatch table
Pick the reference file(s) that match the request, read them, then answer.
| Topic | Read |
|---|---|
| Similarity search design: metrics, exact vs ANN, filtering, scaling patterns | references/similarity-search-patterns.md (+ --details.md) |
| Index tuning: HNSW/IVF parameters, recall vs latency, memory sizing, benchmarks | references/vector-index-tuning.md (+ --details.md) |
How to work
- Establish store, vector count, dimensionality, update rate, and the symptom (slow, low recall, memory pressure). Ask for the missing number rather than guessing scale.
- Read the matching reference file(s) from the table above before answering.
- Deliver concrete settings with the reasoning (for example, m=16 / ef_construction=64 as a starting point and what to measure before raising them), plus the query or benchmark to verify.
- If the problem turns out to be chunking, embedding model choice, or rank fusion rather than the index, route to embedding-strategies or hybrid-search-implementation and say so.
