How the author describes it
Redis Search guidance covering FT.CREATE schema design, field type selection (TEXT, TAG, NUMERIC, GEO, GEOSHAPE, VECTOR, JSON path), DIALECT 2 query syntax, FT.SEARCH / FT.AGGREGATE / FT.HYBRID command selection, vector similarity with HNSW or FLAT, hybrid retrieval combining lexical and vector ranking, RAG pipelines, zero-downtime index updates via aliases, and debugging with FT.PROFILE and FT.EXPLAIN. Use when defining a search index on Hash or JSON documents, writing FT.SEARCH queries with filters, sorting, aggregation, or vector KNN, tuning HNSW parameters, building a RAG retrieval pipeline, or troubleshooting slow or empty search results.
From the description field of SKILL.md. Agents read this line to decide when to load the skill.

redis-search passes the required frontmatter check and all seven graded checks, which cover the SKILL.md format, a declared license and a commit in the last year. Those checks earn 56 of the score’s points; the rest come from description quality, instruction depth, bundled files, maintenance and curated-list citations. How the score works.
