What it does

Qdrant is an agent skill from AlexAI-MCP/hermes-CCC. High-performance vector search engine for production RAG — Rust-powered, horizontal scaling, hybrid dense+sparse search, metadata filtering.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases, covering Vector databases. It works with Qdrant and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Hermes Agent ported to Claude Code Channel — 46 native skills, no OAuth, no external process. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Vector databases

Example prompts

  • “/qdrant”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8107e89. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip
    • docker

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Qdrant loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Qdrant — Production Vector Search Engine

High-performance, Rust-powered vector database for production RAG systems. Best for self-hosted deployments needing speed and horizontal scale.

When to Use Qdrant vs Alternatives

  • Qdrant: Production self-hosted, need speed + filtering + scale
  • Chroma: Local dev, simple RAG prototypes
  • Pinecone: Managed cloud, don't want to self-host
  • FAISS: Pure in-memory, research, maximum speed

Setup

bash
pip install qdrant-client sentence-transformers

# Run Qdrant server
docker run -d -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 \
  -v $(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage \
  qdrant/qdrant

Connect

python
from qdrant_client import QdrantClient
from qdrant_client.models import Distance, VectorParams

# Local Docker
client = QdrantClient(host="localhost", port=6333)

# Cloud
client = QdrantClient(
    url="https://your-cluster.aws.cloud.qdrant.io",
    api_key="your-api-key"
)

# In-memory (testing)
client = QdrantClient(":memory:")

Create Collection

python
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="my_docs",
    vectors_config=VectorParams(
        size=384,           # match embedding model dimension
        distance=Distance.COSINE,  # COSINE | EUCLID | DOT
    ),
)

Upsert Points

python
from qdrant_client.models import PointStruct
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import uuid

model = SentenceTransformer("all-MiniLM-L6-v2")

documents = [
    {"text": "Python async programming", "source": "docs", "year": 2024},
    {"text": "Machine learning with PyTorch", "source": "tutorial", "year": 2023},
]

embeddings = model.encode([d["text"] for d in documents])

points = [
    PointStruct(
        id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
        vector=emb.tolist(),
        payload=doc,
    )
    for doc, emb in zip(documents, embeddings)
]

client.upsert(collection_name="my_docs", points=points)

python
from qdrant_client.models import Filter, FieldCondition, MatchValue

query = "how to write async code?"
q_vec = model.encode([query])[0].tolist()

# Basic search
results = client.search(
    collection_name="my_docs",
    query_vector=q_vec,
    limit=5,
)

# With metadata filter
results = client.search(
    collection_name="my_docs",
    query_vector=q_vec,
    query_filter=Filter(
        must=[FieldCondition(key="source", match=MatchValue(value="docs"))]
    ),
    limit=5,
    with_payload=True,
)

for r in results:
    print(f"[{r.score:.3f}] {r.payload['text']}")

Hybrid Search (Dense + Sparse)

python
from qdrant_client.models import SparseVector, NamedSparseVector, NamedVector

# Setup collection with both dense and sparse
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="hybrid",
    vectors_config={
        "dense": VectorParams(size=384, distance=Distance.COSINE),
    },
    sparse_vectors_config={
        "sparse": SparseVectorParams(),
    },
)

# Search with RRF fusion
from qdrant_client.models import Prefetch, FusionQuery, Fusion

results = client.query_points(
    collection_name="hybrid",
    prefetch=[
        Prefetch(query=dense_vec, using="dense", limit=20),
        Prefetch(query=SparseVector(indices=[1,5,3], values=[0.1, 0.8, 0.5]),
                 using="sparse", limit=20),
    ],
    query=FusionQuery(fusion=Fusion.RRF),
    limit=5,
)

Filtering Operations

python
from qdrant_client.models import (
    Filter, FieldCondition, MatchValue, MatchAny,
    Range, HasIdCondition
)

# Match value
Filter(must=[FieldCondition(key="source", match=MatchValue(value="docs"))])

# Match any of
Filter(must=[FieldCondition(key="category", match=MatchAny(any=["tech", "science"]))])

# Range filter
Filter(must=[FieldCondition(key="year", range=Range(gte=2023, lte=2025))])

# Combine
Filter(
    must=[FieldCondition(key="source", match=MatchValue(value="docs"))],
    should=[FieldCondition(key="year", range=Range(gte=2024))],
    must_not=[FieldCondition(key="archived", match=MatchValue(value=True))],
)

Delete / Update

python
# Delete by IDs
client.delete(collection_name="my_docs", points_selector=["id1", "id2"])

# Delete by filter
from qdrant_client.models import FilterSelector
client.delete(
    collection_name="my_docs",
    points_selector=FilterSelector(
        filter=Filter(must=[FieldCondition(key="source", match=MatchValue(value="old"))])
    )
)

# Collection info
info = client.get_collection("my_docs")
print(f"Vectors: {info.points_count}")

Batch Upsert (Large Datasets)

python
BATCH_SIZE = 100
for i in range(0, len(points), BATCH_SIZE):
    batch = points[i:i+BATCH_SIZE]
    client.upsert(collection_name="my_docs", points=batch)
    print(f"Uploaded {min(i+BATCH_SIZE, len(points))}/{len(points)}")

Run `npx skills add AlexAI-MCP/hermes-CCC --skill qdrant -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/qdrant in AlexAI-MCP/hermes-CCC) into .agents/skills/qdrant in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Qdrant in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add AlexAI-MCP/hermes-CCC --skill qdrant -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/qdrant, .gemini/skills/qdrant, .github/skills/qdrant and .opencode/skills/qdrant in your project.

What does Qdrant need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Qdrant needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip and docker). Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker.

Does Qdrant access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use pip and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Qdrant safe to install?
