Qdrant Skills - Agent Skills for Qdrant Vector Search

Agent skills for building with Qdrant vector search
Skills encode deep Qdrant knowledge so coding agents can make the engineering decisions that determine whether vector search works well: quantization, sharding, tenant isolation, hybrid search, model migration, and more.
Philosophy
Skills are not documentation. Qdrant already has docs in markdown. Skills answer "when?" and "why?", not "how?"
They are structured as the handbook of a Solutions Architect working on Qdrant: given a problem, navigate to the exact place in the documentation where the answer lives. No tutorials, no concept explanations. Only references and minimal snippets where absolutely necessary.
Disclaimer
These skills are under active development. Skill content and structure may change between versions as Qdrant evolves.
Installation
npx skills
Install using the npx skills CLI:
npx skills add qdrant/skills
Claude Code
Add the marketplace, then install all Qdrant skills:
/plugin marketplace add qdrant/skills
/plugin install qdrant@qdrant
Cursor
Install from the Cursor Marketplace or add manually via Settings > Rules > Add Rule > Remote Rule (GitHub) with qdrant/skills.
Clone / Copy
Clone this repo and copy the skill folders into the appropriate directory for your agent:
| Agent | Skill Directory | Docs |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ | docs |
| Cursor | .cursor/skills/ | docs |
| OpenCode | ~/.config/opencode/skill/ | docs |
| OpenAI Codex | ~/.codex/skills/ | docs |
| Pi | ~/.pi/agent/skills/ | docs |
Quick Start
After installing, just ask your agent about Qdrant. Skills are triggered automatically when your question matches their description.
"I have 50M vectors on a single node and search is slow, should I add more nodes?"
→ qdrant-scaling skill activates, recommends quantization and vertical scaling before adding nodes
"My search results are returning irrelevant matches"
→ qdrant-search-quality skill activates, walks through diagnosis and search strategy options
"How do I switch from OpenAI embeddings to Cohere without downtime?"
→ qdrant-model-migration skill activates, guides zero-downtime migration with dual vectors
Skills
Skills are triggered automatically when your question matches their description.
