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.

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. plugins/redis-development/skills/ holds generated real copies of it (not symlinks, which Claude Code and Cursor drop when a plugin is installed from git); npm run sync:plugins regenerates them and the pre-commit hook keeps them current. See AGENTS.md.

Usage

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

Examples:
