Ingesting RAG Content

Ingesting RAG Content

Automated process for indexing new documents into the factory's Qdrant vector store using standardized Parent-Child retrieval patterns.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ environment with cursor-factory env active.
• Access to D:/ebooks or target document path.
• antigravity-rag MCP server active (configured in %USERPROFILE%\.gemini\antigravity\mcp_config.json).

When to Use

• When new reference materials (PDF) are added to the project.
• When an agent discovers new domain knowledge that needs to be persistent.

Process

1. Identify source: Locate the PDF to be ingested.
2. Call tool: Use @tool mcp_antigravity-rag_ingest_document with the absolute path.
3. Monitor logs: Ensure the Parent-Child splitting (chunking) completes successfully.
4. Verify: Call list_library_sources to confirm registration.

Level 3 Resources

Scripts

• scripts/validate_ingestion.py: Runs a health check on the Qdrant ebook_library collection.
• scripts/ai/rag/rag_optimized.py: The core ingestion engine logic.

References

• references/rag-architecture.md: Explains the Parent-Child chunking strategy and Qdrant storage schema.

Important Rules

• PDF Only: In the current optimized version, only PDF documents are supported for Parent-Child splitting.
• UTF-8 Only: Ensure environment variables ($env:PYTHONIOENCODING="utf-8") are set.
• Incremental indexing: The system supports adding to existing Qdrant collections.
• Local Embeddings: Uses BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 (via FastEmbed) for performance.

Best Practices

• Recursive Splitting: Always use recursive character splitting to maintain paragraph integrity.
• Absolute Paths: Store absolute paths in metadata to ensure reliable document opening.
• Validation: Run scripts/validate_ingestion.py after bulk ingestion.
