RAG fails quietly. It retrieves documents, returns confident-looking answers, and misses the question entirely — because the question required connecting facts across documents, reasoning about sequence, or tracing causation. This skill gives you a five-question diagnostic checklist that classifies any failing query as either RAG-safe or structurally RAG-incompatible, then maps it to the specific failure pattern and the architectural fix that resolves it.

A structured framework for planning, reviewing, and evolving complex software systems with explicit trade-offs.

Architects the right retrieval strategy for every query — teaching your agent when to use RAG, a knowledge graph, or a temporal index instead of defaulting to vector search for everything.
