Build and query a vault-local contextual BM25 retrieval index with optional multilingual Nomic cosine reranking; use for retrieve, hybrid retrieval, BM25, rerank, contextual retrieval, chunk search, vault search, semantic search, find relevant passages, or retrieval diagnostics. Derived caches stay under .vault-meta, remote egress requires explicit consent, and unavailable reranking falls back deterministically.

One of 17 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I want to inspect the current state and statistics of my vault's BM25 search index without running a full retrieval. Which script and command subcommand should I run?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Executes bm25-index.py using the stats subcommand | Missed | Passed |

This extension derives search data from wiki/ into .vault-meta/. It never
changes canonical notes. Always pass the selected vault explicitly.
Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory:
PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian
PREFIX="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/contextual-prefix.py"
BM25="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/bm25-index.py"
RETRIEVE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/retrieve.py"
RERANK="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/rerank.py"
test -f "$PREFIX" && test -f "$BM25" && test -f "$RETRIEVE" && test -f "$RERANK"
contextual-prefix.py splits pages on paragraph boundaries and stores the
raw chunk plus a short page-level prefix.bm25-index.py builds a local, standard-library BM25 index over the
contextualized text.retrieve.py selects BM25 candidates, optionally reranks them, rejects
invalid records, deduplicates by page, and returns paths and snippets.Preview first, then build synthetic prefixes without network egress:
python3 "$PREFIX" --vault "$VAULT" --all --no-llm --peek
python3 "$PREFIX" --vault "$VAULT" --all --no-llm
python3 "$BM25" --vault "$VAULT" build
python3 "$RETRIEVE" --vault "$VAULT" "wiki" --top 1 --no-rerank --explain
Chunk and index files are disposable runtime state. Incremental prefixing skips
test cases passed, vs 3 / 20 without
