tools-only RAG Pipeline Generator
Generate a complete, production-ready RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline with document ingestion, embedding, vector storage, retrieval, and LLM integration.
What You'll Get
When you run this command, you'll receive:
- Document ingestion pipeline with chunking strategies
- Embedding generation with OpenAI or open-source models
- Vector database integration (Pinecone, Qdrant, or ChromaDB)
- Retrieval system with reranking and hybrid search
- LLM integration for answer generation
- API server (FastAPI) for production deployment
- Docker configuration for containerized deployment
- Testing suite with evaluation metrics
Usage
/rag-pipeline-gen <vector_db> [options]
Vector Databases: pinecone, qdrant, chromadb, weaviate
Examples:
/rpg pinecone- Generate RAG pipeline with Pinecone/rpg qdrant- Generate RAG pipeline with Qdrant Cloud/rpg chromadb- Generate RAG pipeline with ChromaDB (local development)
Generated Output
Example: Pinecone RAG Pipeline
Input:
/rpg pinecone
