What it does

“Build AI agents with the Vectara platform — create agents, configure tools, manage sessions, and search corpora.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill enables developers to build AI agents on the Vectara platform using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It covers agent creation with tool configurations, session management, corpus search integration, and the three-step chat flow for conversational AI applications.

When to use it

  • Building RAG agents that search indexed corpora for enterprise information retrieval
  • Creating conversational AI with integrated web search and custom tool support
  • Processing documents and artifacts within agent sessions without permanent indexing
  • Setting up scheduled agents to run recurring tasks like digests or monitoring workflows

When not to

  • Complex multi-step workflows or state machines requiring orchestration
  • Agents needing OAuth, API key management, or dynamic credential handling
  • Building sub-agents or human-in-the-loop approval gates
