Pinecone Skills
Official Pinecone agent skills for vector search, RAG, and index management.
About
Pinecone Skills is Pinecone's official Agent Skills library for agentic IDEs like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI, following the Agent Skills standard. It ships skills covering the full workflow: quickstart onboarding that creates an index and runs a first search, natural-language querying of integrated indexes via the Pinecone MCP, CLI-based index management, Pinecone Assistants for document Q&A with citations, an MCP tools reference, and curated documentation links.
Installable with a single command, it gives coding agents working knowledge of Pinecone's vector database so they can build semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation, and recommendation features without the developer hand-holding the API. As the official vendor library it tracks Pinecone's current APIs, which matters because third-party vector-DB skills go stale fast in this space.
