# Optimize AgentDB Vector Performance

Large AgentDB vector stores can become slow and memory heavy as data grows. This skill gives quantization, HNSW, caching, and batching guidance for faster search and lower memory use.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add dnyoussef/agentdb-performance-optimization
```

## Capabilities

- Explains binary, scalar, product, and full-precision quantization choices.
- Shows AgentDB adapter settings for HNSW, cache size, and quantization.
- Provides benchmark commands for AgentDB search, insert, and memory metrics.
- Describes batch retrieval and insert patterns for vector workloads.
- Offers scaling recipes for small through million-vector databases.
- Includes troubleshooting steps for memory, speed, and accuracy issues.

## Use Cases

- Tune Production Vector Search: Choose AgentDB quantization, HNSW, and cache settings for a growing search service.
- Reduce Memory Footprint: Plan compression and pruning changes before deploying AgentDB on constrained infrastructure.
- Compare Scaling Options: Estimate speed, accuracy, and memory tradeoffs before moving to larger embedding collections.

## Prompt Templates

### Choose a Quantization Mode

```
Help me choose an AgentDB quantization mode for my dataset size, memory limit, and accuracy target.
```

### Tune Search Latency

```
Review my AgentDB search latency goals and recommend HNSW, cache, and retrieval settings to test first.
```

### Plan a Scaling Upgrade

```
Create an AgentDB scaling plan for moving from my current vector count to my target count while controlling memory use.
```

### Design a Benchmark Review

```
Design a benchmark and risk review for AgentDB performance changes, including recall checks, latency targets, and command safety.
```

## Limitations

- It is guidance only; it does not run benchmarks or modify databases by itself.
- Published benchmark numbers depend on hardware, data, and AgentDB version.
- Some commands rely on npm package execution and should be reviewed before running.
- It does not verify application-specific recall, latency, or data quality targets.

## Best Practices

- Benchmark current latency, recall, and memory before changing optimization settings.
- Pin package versions and review commands before running benchmarks in a real workspace.
- Validate accuracy after quantization with representative production queries.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not choose binary quantization for accuracy-critical workloads without recall testing.
- Do not increase cache size without checking memory limits.
- Do not run latest-package commands automatically in sensitive environments.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T11:46:12.347\+00:00
- Summary: Static findings for Ruby backtick execution, hardcoded URLs, and SQLite paths are false positives from Markdown documentation examples. I found one semantic risk: the guide recommends unpinned npx commands that can fetch package code that changes over time. No prompt injection, credential exfiltration, or malicious data-access intent was found.
