agentsop-hybrid-retrieval

Enhancement-overlay SOP for adding sparse (BM25 / keyword) retrieval alongside dense (embedding) retrieval. Activate when a calling agent is building, reviewing, or debugging a retrieval pipeline whose corpus contains exact-match tokens — identifiers, error codes, SKUs, API/function names, proper nouns, citations, rare jargon — that pure dense embedding silently misses. Encodes the single decision rule (**hybrid is traffic-driven, not theoretical: add sparse only when the query share that depends on exact tokens is non-trivial**), the wiring of QueryFusionRetriever-style fusion (RRF vs alpha-weighted), and per-query-type alpha tuning. Frame the work as recovering lexical identity that dense pooling destroys, not as "add keyword search for completeness". Cross-links [[llamaindex]].

# Hybrid Retrieval · Dense + Sparse SOP

> Third-person operating model for a coder agent that owns retrieval recall on a
> corpus where *both* meaning and exact tokens matter. The audience is the LLM
> agent writing or reviewing retrieval code — not an end user.

> **One sentence**: *Dense captures meaning, sparse captures exact tokens; hybrid
> wins when both matter — but only fuse them when traffic actually carries
> exact-match queries, and tune the blend per query type or hybrid loses to dense.*
