## What it does

This plugin bundles official Redis engineering practices structured according to the Agent Skills format. It contains eight skills covering key naming, Streams, Pub/Sub, and vector retrieval using HNSW or FLAT indexes. Each skill includes a required `SKILL.md` instruction file alongside optional references, helper scripts, and assets.

Skills load automatically based on task context. The agent learns patterns for connection pooling, client-side caching, and pipelining. In cluster deployments, multi-key operations fail with `CROSSSLOT` errors unless configured with hash tags.

Dedicated components handle AI architectures and observability. LangCache provides cache-aside storage for LLM responses, while Iris manages long-term agent session memory. For operational debugging, the plugin uses `SLOWLOG`, `MEMORY DOCTOR`, and `FT.PROFILE` to isolate performance bottlenecks.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install redis-development@claude-plugins-official
```

```

## When to use it
- Build schemas and hybrid retrieval queries with `FT.SEARCH`
- Set up LangCache semantic caching for LLM responses
- Prevent `CROSSSLOT` errors in Redis Cluster using hash tags
- Pick between JSON, Hash, Streams, and Pub/Sub structures
- Track down slow queries using `SLOWLOG` and `FT.PROFILE`

## Example prompts
- Help me optimize this Redis query
- What data structure should I use for a leaderboard?
- Review my Redis connection handling

# 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-search](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](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 install redis-development@claude-plugins-official
```

### ChatGPT and Codex Plugin

The distributable plugin package for ChatGPT and Codex lives at
[`plugins/redis-development/`](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](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](AGENTS.md) for the full layout, conventions, and the "Adding a New Skill" walkthrough.
