Decision brief
agent-skills is a Redis-specific skillset built for AI coding agents in TypeScript with multiple applications from data structure advice to security and observability tasks.
Good fit when
- When you require detailed skill sets for specific operations within Redis, such as core operations, connections handling, or clustering strategies.
- For optimizing Redis usage through advanced capabilities like semantic caching or search functions including vector similarity and hybrid retrieval.
Avoid when
- If your project does not utilize Redis or if the AI coding agent is intended to work with another database system exclusively.
- When a comprehensive skill set for other data management areas beside Redis is required, as this tool is strictly focused on Redis operations and optimizations.

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