# Using Skill Seekers with LangChain
|
||||
|
||||
**Last Updated:** February 5, 2026
|
||||
**Status:** Production Ready
|
||||
**Difficulty:** Easy ⭐
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications with LangChain requires high-quality, structured documentation for your vector stores. Manually scraping and chunking documentation is:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Time-Consuming** - Hours spent scraping docs and formatting them
|
||||
- **Error-Prone** - Inconsistent chunking, missing metadata, broken references
|
||||
- **Not Maintainable** - Documentation updates require re-scraping everything
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
> "When building a RAG chatbot for React documentation, you need to scrape 500+ pages, chunk them properly, add metadata, and load into a vector store. This typically takes 4-6 hours of manual work."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✨ The Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Use Skill Seekers as **essential preprocessing** before LangChain:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Generate LangChain Documents** from any documentation source
|
||||
2. **Pre-chunked and structured** with proper metadata
|
||||
3. **Ready for vector stores** (Chroma, Pinecone, FAISS, etc.)
|
||||
4. **One command** - scrape, chunk, format in minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:**
|
||||
Skill Seekers outputs JSON files with LangChain Document format, ready to load directly into your RAG pipeline.

||||
## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
- Python 3.10+
|
||||
- LangChain installed: `pip install langchain langchain-community`
|
||||
- OpenAI API key (for embeddings): `export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...`
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install Skill Seekers
|
||||
pip install skill-seekers
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify installation
|
||||
skill-seekers --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Generate LangChain Documents
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Example: React framework documentation
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/react.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Package as LangChain Documents
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/react --target langchain
|
||||
|
||||
# Output: output/react-langchain.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Load into LangChain
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/react-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
# Convert to LangChain Documents
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Loaded {len(documents)} documents")
|
||||
|
||||
# Create vector store
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
|
||||
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(documents, embeddings)
|
||||
|
||||
# Query
|
||||
results = vectorstore.similarity_search("How do I use React hooks?", k=3)
|
||||
for doc in results:
|
||||
print(f"\n{doc.metadata['category']}: {doc.page_content[:200]}...")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📖 Detailed Setup Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Choose Your Documentation Source
|
||||
|
||||
**Option A: Use Preset Config (Fastest)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Available presets: react, vue, django, fastapi, etc.
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/react.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: From GitHub Repository**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Scrape from GitHub repo (includes code + docs)
|
||||
skill-seekers github --repo facebook/react --name react-skill
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option C: Custom Documentation**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create custom config for your docs
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/my-docs.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Generate LangChain Format
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Convert to LangChain Documents
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/react --target langchain
|
||||
|
||||
# Output structure:
|
||||
# output/react-langchain.json
|
||||
# [
|
||||
# {
|
||||
# "page_content": "...",
|
||||
# "metadata": {
|
||||
# "source": "react",
|
||||
# "category": "hooks",
|
||||
# "file": "hooks.md",
|
||||
# "type": "reference"
|
||||
# }
|
||||
# }
|
||||
# ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What You Get:**
|
||||
- ✅ Pre-chunked documents (semantic boundaries preserved)
|
||||
- ✅ Rich metadata (source, category, file, type)
|
||||
- ✅ Clean markdown (code blocks preserved)
|
||||
- ✅ Ready for embeddings
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Load into Vector Store
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 1: Chroma (Local, Persistent)**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/react-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Create persistent Chroma store
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
|
||||
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
persist_directory="./chroma_db"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ {len(documents)} documents loaded into Chroma")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 2: FAISS (Fast, In-Memory)**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import FAISS
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
with open("output/react-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
|
||||
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(documents, embeddings)
|
||||
|
||||
# Save for later use
|
||||
vectorstore.save_local("faiss_index")
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ {len(documents)} documents loaded into FAISS")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 3: Pinecone (Cloud, Scalable)**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import Pinecone as LangChainPinecone
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
import json
|
||||
import pinecone
|
||||
|
||||
# Initialize Pinecone
|
||||
pinecone.init(api_key="your-api-key", environment="us-west1-gcp")
|
||||
index_name = "react-docs"
|
||||
|
||||
if index_name not in pinecone.list_indexes():
|
||||
pinecone.create_index(index_name, dimension=1536)
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/react-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Upload to Pinecone
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
|
||||
vectorstore = LangChainPinecone.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
index_name=index_name
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ {len(documents)} documents uploaded to Pinecone")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Build RAG Chain
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA
|
||||
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
|
||||
|
||||
# Create retriever from vector store
|
||||
retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(
|
||||
search_type="similarity",
|
||||
search_kwargs={"k": 3}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create RAG chain
|
||||
llm = ChatOpenAI(model_name="gpt-4", temperature=0)
|
||||
qa_chain = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(
|
||||
llm=llm,
|
||||
chain_type="stuff",
|
||||
retriever=retriever,
|
||||
return_source_documents=True
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Query
|
||||
query = "How do I use React hooks?"
|
||||
result = qa_chain({"query": query})
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Answer: {result['result']}")
|
||||
print(f"\nSources:")
|
||||
for doc in result['source_documents']:
|
||||
print(f" - {doc.metadata['category']}: {doc.metadata['file']}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Filter by Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Search only in specific categories
|
||||
retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(
|
||||
search_type="similarity",
|
||||
search_kwargs={
|
||||
"k": 5,
|
||||
"filter": {"category": "hooks"}
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Metadata Enrichment
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Add custom metadata before loading
|
||||
for doc_data in docs_data:
|
||||
doc_data["metadata"]["indexed_at"] = datetime.now().isoformat()
|
||||
doc_data["metadata"]["version"] = "18.2.0"
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-Source Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Combine multiple documentation sources
|
||||
sources = ["react", "vue", "angular"]
|
||||
all_documents = []
|
||||
|
||||
for source in sources:
|
||||
with open(f"output/{source}-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
all_documents.extend(documents)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create unified vector store
|
||||
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(all_documents, embeddings)
|
||||
print(f"✅ Loaded {len(all_documents)} documents from {len(sources)} sources")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Start with Presets
|
||||
Use tested configurations to avoid scraping issues:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls configs/ # See available presets
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/django.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Test Queries Before Full Pipeline
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Quick test with similarity search
|
||||
results = vectorstore.similarity_search("your query", k=3)
|
||||
for doc in results:
|
||||
print(f"{doc.metadata['category']}: {doc.page_content[:100]}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Use Persistent Storage
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Save Chroma DB for reuse
|
||||
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
persist_directory="./chroma_db" # ← Persists to disk
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Later: load existing DB
|
||||
vectorstore = Chroma(
|
||||
persist_directory="./chroma_db",
|
||||
embedding_function=embeddings
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Monitor Token Usage
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Check document sizes before embedding
|
||||
total_tokens = sum(len(doc["page_content"].split()) for doc in docs_data)
|
||||
print(f"Estimated tokens: {total_tokens * 1.3:.0f}") # Rough estimate
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔥 Real-World Example
|
||||
|
||||
### Building a React Documentation Chatbot
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Generate Documents**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Scrape React docs
|
||||
skill-seekers scrape --config configs/react.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Convert to LangChain format
|
||||
skill-seekers package output/react --target langchain
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Create Vector Store**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
|
||||
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
|
||||
from langchain.schema import Document
|
||||
from langchain.chains import ConversationalRetrievalChain
|
||||
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
|
||||
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
# Load documents
|
||||
with open("output/react-langchain.json") as f:
|
||||
docs_data = json.load(f)
|
||||
|
||||
documents = [
|
||||
Document(page_content=doc["page_content"], metadata=doc["metadata"])
|
||||
for doc in docs_data
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Create vector store
|
||||
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
|
||||
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(
|
||||
documents,
|
||||
embeddings,
|
||||
persist_directory="./react_chroma"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"✅ Loaded {len(documents)} React documentation chunks")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Build Conversational RAG**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Create conversational chain with memory
|
||||
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(
|
||||
memory_key="chat_history",
|
||||
return_messages=True
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
qa_chain = ConversationalRetrievalChain.from_llm(
|
||||
llm=ChatOpenAI(model_name="gpt-4", temperature=0),
|
||||
retriever=vectorstore.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k": 3}),
|
||||
memory=memory,
|
||||
return_source_documents=True
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Chat loop
|
||||
while True:
|
||||
query = input("\nYou: ")
|
||||
if query.lower() in ['quit', 'exit']:
|
||||
break
|
||||
|
||||
result = qa_chain({"question": query})
|
||||
print(f"\nAssistant: {result['answer']}")
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"\nSources:")
|
||||
for doc in result['source_documents']:
|
||||
print(f" - {doc.metadata['category']}: {doc.metadata['file']}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:**
|
||||
- Complete React documentation in 100-200 documents
|
||||
- Sub-second query responses
|
||||
- Source attribution for every answer
|
||||
- Conversational context maintained
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Too Many Documents
|
||||
**Solution:** Filter by category or split into multiple indexes
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Filter specific categories
|
||||
hooks_docs = [
|
||||
doc for doc in docs_data
|
||||
if doc["metadata"]["category"] == "hooks"
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Large Documents
|
||||
**Solution:** Documents are already chunked, but you can re-chunk if needed
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
|
||||
|
||||
text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(
|
||||
chunk_size=1000,
|
||||
chunk_overlap=200
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
split_documents = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Missing Dependencies
|
||||
**Solution:** Install LangChain components
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install langchain langchain-community langchain-openai
|
||||
pip install chromadb # For Chroma
|
||||
pip install faiss-cpu # For FAISS
|
||||
```
|
||||
