# Redis Agent Skills

A collection of skills for AI coding agents working with Redis. Skills are packaged instructions and resources that extend agent capabilities.

Skills follow the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) format.

## Available Skills

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| [redis-core](skills/redis-core/) | Data structures, key naming, memory and TTL, atomic primitives, JSON vs Hash, Streams vs Pub/Sub. |
| [redis-connections](skills/redis-connections/) | Pooling, multiplexing, pipelining, client-side caching, timeouts, slow commands. |
| [redis-query-engine](skills/redis-query-engine/) | FT.CREATE schema, FT.SEARCH / FT.AGGREGATE, DIALECT 2, field types, zero-downtime updates. |
| [redis-vector-search](skills/redis-vector-search/) | HNSW vs FLAT, vector index configuration, hybrid search, the RAG retrieval pattern with RedisVL. |
| [redis-semantic-cache](skills/redis-semantic-cache/) | LangCache — cache-aside flow for LLM responses, similarity threshold tuning, per-task cache separation. |
| [redis-clustering](skills/redis-clustering/) | Hash tags for multi-key operations, avoiding CROSSSLOT, reading from replicas. |
| [redis-security](skills/redis-security/) | Authentication and TLS, ACL-based least privilege, network bind, firewall, command renaming. |
| [redis-observability](skills/redis-observability/) | Key metrics (INFO), debugging commands (SLOWLOG, MEMORY DOCTOR, FT.PROFILE), Redis Insight. |
| [iris-development](skills/iris-development/) | Iris: Redis Agent Memory — provisioning, SDK auth, session events, long-term memory search, async promotion. |

## Installation

### Agent Skills CLI

```bash
npx skills add redis/agent-skills
```

### Claude Code Plugin

You can also install the skills as a Claude Code plugin:

```
/plugin marketplace add redis/agent-skills
/plugin install redis-development@redis
```

### Cursor Plugin

This repository also includes Cursor plugin packaging. Run this command in chat:

```text
/add-plugin redis
```

The top-level `skills/` directory remains the source of truth. Plugin folders symlink only the skill directories they expose.

## Usage

Skills are automatically available once installed. The agent will use them when relevant tasks are detected.

**Examples:**
```
Help me optimize this Redis query
```
```
What data structure should I use for a leaderboard?
```
```
Review my Redis connection handling
```

## Skill Structure

Each skill follows the [agentskills.io specification](https://agentskills.io/specification):

- `SKILL.md` - Instructions for the agent (required)
- `references/` - Long-form content loaded on demand (optional)
- `scripts/` - Helper scripts (optional)
- `assets/` - Static resources (optional)

See [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the full layout, conventions, and the "Adding a New Skill" walkthrough.
