aliyun-dashvector-searchA skill your agent uses when building vector retrieval with DashVector using the Python SDK.
Aliyun Dashvector Search is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when building vector retrieval with DashVector using the Python SDK. Use when creating collections, upserting docs, and running similarity search with filters in Claude Code/Codex.
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/sources.md` and `scripts/quickstart.py`).
It sits in Databases, covering Vector databases. It works with Alibaba Cloud and Python. The repository describes itself as: alibaba cloud skills,qwen ,wan and all skills. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1818263. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
DASHVECTOR_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Aliyun Dashvector Search loads about 990 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

A skill your agent uses when building vector retrieval with DashVector using the Python SDK. Aliyun Dashvector Search is an agent skill from cinience/alicloud-skills. Use when building vector retrieval with DashVector using the Python SDK.
Aliyun Dashvector Search fits situations like: building vector retrieval with DashVector using the Python SDK; creating collections; running similarity search with filters in Claude Code/Codex.
Run `npx skills add cinience/alicloud-skills --skill aliyun-dashvector-search -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ai/search/aliyun-dashvector-search in cinience/alicloud-skills) into .claude/skills/aliyun-dashvector-search in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add cinience/alicloud-skills --skill aliyun-dashvector-search -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ai/search/aliyun-dashvector-search in cinience/alicloud-skills) into .agents/skills/aliyun-dashvector-search in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add cinience/alicloud-skills --skill aliyun-dashvector-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aliyun-dashvector-search, .gemini/skills/aliyun-dashvector-search, .github/skills/aliyun-dashvector-search and .opencode/skills/aliyun-dashvector-search in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Aliyun Dashvector Search needs Python for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (python3 and python) and credentials named DASHVECTOR_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in DASHVECTOR_API_KEY.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Aliyun Dashvector Search is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 990 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 27 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Aliyun Dashvector Search: Pinecone Vector Database (Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs, 13k stars), Qdrant Vector Search (Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs, 13k stars), Ravendb (ravendb/docs, 115 stars) and Mem0 Oss To Platform (mem0ai/mem0, 67k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
