Cluster Vectors by Semantic Similarity

v20260707
vector-cluster
This skill clusters a collection of vectors (embeddings, e.g., code snippets) within a designated namespace using graph community detection algorithms (Spectral/Louvain). It is essential for discovering underlying themes, identifying natural groupings, and analyzing the relationships within large, unstructured vector datasets. Use it when you need to organize embeddings based on semantic relatedness rather than simple keyword matching.

Overview

Vector Cluster

Cluster vectors in a namespace by semantic similarity using ruvector.

When to use

Use this skill when you have a collection of embeddings and want to discover natural groupings. Clustering reveals themes, identifies outliers, and helps organize large vector collections.

Steps

  1. Ensure ruvector@0.2.25 is available:
    npm ls ruvector 2>/dev/null | grep '0.2.25' || npm install ruvector@0.2.25
    
  2. Run clustering — in ruvector@0.2.25 the only working clustering is via hooks graph-cluster (spectral/Louvain over a code graph). The top-level cluster command is reserved for distributed cluster ops and is currently "Coming Soon" upstream.
    npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks graph-cluster <files...>
    npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks graph-mincut <files...>
    
  3. Review output — JSON with cluster assignments, community labels, and edges. If you see "graph.nodes is not iterable", run hooks init first to seed the graph state.
  4. Store results: mcp__claude-flow__memory_store({ key: "clusters-PROJECT-TIMESTAMP", value: "CLUSTER_ASSIGNMENTS", namespace: "vector-clusters" })

Interpreting results

  • High cohesion (>0.85): tight, well-defined cluster
  • Medium cohesion (0.6-0.85): related but diverse content
  • Low cohesion (<0.6): loose grouping, try higher resolution
  • Outliers: novel or anomalous files worth investigating

Caveats

  • cluster --namespace ... --k N and cluster --density are not valid in ruvector@0.2.25 — those flags fall through to the distributed-cluster command, which only accepts --status, --join, --leave, --nodes, --leader, --info.
  • For namespaced k-means over arbitrary embeddings, run k-means in your own code against vectors stored in AgentDB.
