# Hybrid Search Implementation
Patterns for combining vector similarity and keyword-based search.
## Use this skill when
- Building RAG systems with improved recall
- Combining semantic understanding with exact matching
- Handling queries with specific terms (names, codes)
- Improving search for domain-specific vocabulary
- When pure vector search misses keyword matches
## Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to hybrid search implementation
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
## Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
## Resources
- `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.
