Dungeon Masters Vault: Local RAG Assistant

An advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system designed for Dungeon Masters. This tool ingests markdown-based campaign notes, enriches them with AI-generated metadata, and provides an interactive terminal interface to query your world's lore using DSPy and Local LLMs.

Key Features

• Parallel Enrichment: Configurable multithreading processes multiple document chunks simultaneously across local LLM slots for high-speed ingestion.
• Deep Context Retrieval: Retrieves relevant chunks and "peeks" at the full source file to provide the LLM with broader narrative context.
• Local-First: Runs entirely on your hardware using Ollama, keeping your campaign secrets private.

Setup

Prerequisites

• UV — Python package manager
• Ollama — Running a local server (default localhost:11434)
• Local Models — Pull your inference and embedding models with ollama pull

Installation

uv sync

---

Usage

Ingest & Enrich

Process your markdown campaign files and build the vector database:

uv run src/ingest.py

Query the LLM

Launch the interactive session to ask questions about your campaign:

uv run src/retrieve.py

Example interaction:

Query: Why did the party get free bread at the Golden Grain Inn?

Based on the session notes from 'Session_12.md', the party received free bread because the Rogue intimidated the baker's assistant and the Cleric performed Thaumaturgy to impress the owner.
