typesense

typesense is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashish7802/awesome-api-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (532 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A memory-based search engine for JSON documents that requires you to define the fields and their types before indexing data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define searchable collections, index documents, run clustered searches, and create restricted search keys for frontend clients.
Why use it?
It provides structured search and avoids sending invalid documents into an index with an incompatible shape.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

typesense scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (examples/basic.py, examples/collection.ts, examples/search.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Typesense API Skill

Quick Start

Typesense is a RAM-based search engine built in C++. It requires explicitly defining your schema before indexing data.

npm install typesense

Common Workflows

Schema Definition

Unlike Meilisearch, Typesense requires defining a rigid schema (Collection) upfront. Define fields, their data types, and whether they are faceted. Then, upload JSON documents that strictly adhere to this schema.

Production Patterns

High Availability (HA)

Typesense natively supports clustering via Raft consensus. When initializing the client, pass an array of nodes rather than a single host. The Typesense SDK automatically load-balances reads and handles node failures.

Error Recovery

Handle TypesenseError. The SDK will automatically retry requests across the cluster if a node is unresponsive. However, schema validation errors during indexing (HTTP 400) require application-level data sanitization.

Security Notes

Use Scoped Search API Keys to generate temporary, restricted keys for frontend clients. Never expose the Admin API key to the frontend.

Performance Considerations

Because Typesense holds the entire search index in RAM, monitor memory usage closely. Use the import endpoint (JSONL format) instead of individual create requests when migrating millions of records to avoid HTTP overhead.

Testing Guidance

Run the Typesense Docker image in your test pipeline. It boots in under 1 second, making it ideal for ephemeral test environments.

Troubleshooting

If search results are empty, verify that the fields you are searching against are explicitly defined in the schema and that index: true is set for those fields.

References

Why use this skill

Use this when your agent works with typesense — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

typesense is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashish7802/awesome-api-skills (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 532 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
