# 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](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/redis-core/) | Data structures, key naming, memory and TTL, atomic primitives, JSON vs Hash, Streams vs Pub/Sub. |
| [redis-connections](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/redis-connections/) | Pooling, multiplexing, pipelining, client-side caching, timeouts, slow commands. |
| [redis-search](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/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](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/redis-semantic-cache/) | LangCache — cache-aside flow for LLM responses, similarity threshold tuning, per-task cache separation. |
| [redis-clustering](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/redis-clustering/) | Hash tags for multi-key operations, avoiding CROSSSLOT, reading from replicas. |
| [redis-security](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/redis-security/) | Authentication and TLS, ACL-based least privilege, network bind, firewall, command renaming. |
| [redis-observability](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/skills/redis-observability/) | Key metrics (INFO), debugging commands (SLOWLOG, MEMORY DOCTOR, FT.PROFILE), Redis Insight. |
| [iris-development](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/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 install redis-development@claude-plugins-official
```
### ChatGPT and Codex Plugin
The distributable plugin package for ChatGPT and Codex lives at
[`plugins/redis-development/`](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/plugins/redis-development/). It includes the
required `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` manifest and real copies of every skill.
Archive that directory—not the repository root—when preparing a skills-only
submission to the OpenAI plugin submission portal.
### 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. `plugins/redis-development/skills/` holds generated real copies used by the ChatGPT, Codex, and Claude Code plugin package (not symlinks, which plugin installation flows may drop); `npm run sync:plugins` regenerates them and the pre-commit hook keeps them current. See [AGENTS.md](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/AGENTS.md#where-skills-live).
## 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](https://github.com/redis/agent-skills/blob/HEAD/AGENTS.md) for the full layout, conventions, and the "Adding a New Skill" walkthrough.
