# vaultspec-rag

vaultspec-rag indexes vaultspec records, source code, and routed documents for search by meaning. It is the search engine the vaultspec workflow is designed around: optional for Core, which falls back to listing and `grep` without it. It depends on Core, so installing it installs Core too, and it also searches repositories that don’t use the workflow. Its search service needs a supported GPU: NVIDIA with CUDA on Linux or Windows, or Apple silicon on macOS.
