Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Facebook's library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors. Supports billions of vectors, GPU acceleration, and various index types (Flat, IVF, HNSW). Use for fast k-NN search, large-scale vector retrieval, or when you need pure similarity search without metadata. Best for high-performance applications.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'faiss' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'faiss' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named faiss already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '773a52944ba4747a18bd4ae9ade53fff041adcbc' -- '15-rag/faiss' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'15-rag/faiss' ~/.agents/skills/'faiss' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'faiss' ~/.claude/skills/'faiss' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
