vector-database-opsDeploy, manage, and optimize vector databases for AI applications.
Vector Database Ops is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Deploy, manage, and optimize vector databases for AI applications. Covers Qdrant, Weaviate, pgvector, and Pinecone — collection management, indexing strategies, backup, and performance tuning for production RAG and semantic search workloads.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).
It sits in Databases, covering Vector databases. It works with Qdrant, pgvector, Weaviate and Pinecone. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 000116a. 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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
dockercurlpg_dumpFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
POSTGRES_PASSWORDWEAVIATE_API_KEYOPENAI_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Vector Database Ops loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Deploy, manage, and optimize vector databases for AI applications. Vector Database Ops is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Deploy, manage, and optimize vector databases for AI applications.
Vector Database Ops fits situations like: tasks that involve Vector databases.
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill vector-database-ops -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ai-ml/vector-database-ops in majiayu000/claude-skill-registry) into .claude/skills/vector-database-ops in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill vector-database-ops -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ai-ml/vector-database-ops in majiayu000/claude-skill-registry) into .agents/skills/vector-database-ops 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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill vector-database-ops -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/vector-database-ops, .gemini/skills/vector-database-ops, .github/skills/vector-database-ops and .opencode/skills/vector-database-ops in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Vector Database Ops needs the command-line tools its instructions call (docker, curl and pg_dump) and credentials named POSTGRES_PASSWORD, WEAVIATE_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker; A credential in WEAVIATE_API_KEY; A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use docker and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. 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. Review the folder before installing.
Vector Database Ops is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Vector Database Ops: Vector Database Engineer (aiskillstore/marketplace, 430 stars), RAG Implementation (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), Hunt RAG Vector (elementalsouls/Claude-BugHunter, 4.8k stars) and Agentsop Multi Tenant RAG (agentsope/SkillAlchemy, 457 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
