pinecone-docs

pinecone-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cookieMonsterDev/agents-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,204 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference skill for Pinecone, a vector database that stores data for similarity search, such as finding documents related to a question. It uses Pinecone documentation for guidance on building and operating these applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and manage indexes, store and search records, filter metadata, build hybrid search, use reranking or Pinecone Assistant, and work with Pinecone APIs and SDKs.
Why use it?
It avoids mixing Pinecone instructions with those of other vector databases or older Pinecone architectures.

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

pinecone-docs scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d ago.

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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- Only provide SDK code or `curl` examples when the user asks for them or when the docs page makes an example necessary.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pinecone questions are easy to answer from stale memory, especially since pod-based indexes were replaced by the serverless architecture. Use this skill to ground answers in the official Pinecone documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic vector-search advice.

When to Use

Use this skill when the request is about:

  • Pinecone concepts: organizations, projects, serverless indexes, namespaces, and records
  • Creating and configuring serverless indexes (dense, sparse/BM25, or integrated-embedding indexes)
  • Upserting, querying, updating, deleting, or fetching records
  • Namespaces for multitenancy and data isolation
  • Metadata filtering, hybrid search, and reranking search results
  • Bulk import from object storage, backups, and restoring indexes
  • Pinecone Assistant for retrieval-augmented generation
  • SDKs (Python, Node.js, Java, Go) and the REST API reference
  • Authentication, API keys, limits, quotas, and billing plans
  • Performance: reducing latency, increasing throughput, and managing cost

Do not use this skill for:

  • Qdrant-specific concepts (payload indexes, HNSW parameter tuning, on-premise clustering). Use qdrant-docs instead.
  • Weaviate-specific concepts (GraphQL API, modules, classes as collections). Use weaviate-docs instead.
  • MongoDB Atlas Vector Search or Redis vector sets. Use mongodb-docs or redis-docs instead.
  • General embedding model selection or RAG architecture unless the question is specifically about Pinecone configuration or behavior.

Workflow

1. Classify the request

Decide which bucket the question belongs to before searching:

  • Getting started and core concepts
  • Creating and managing indexes
  • Upserting, querying, updating, and deleting records
  • Namespaces, metadata filtering, and multitenancy
  • Search quality: hybrid search and reranking
  • Backups, restores, and bulk import
  • Pinecone Assistant
  • SDKs and API reference
  • Limits, cost, and performance optimization

If you need a quick starting point, load references/topic-map.md and jump to the closest section.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

pinecone-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository cookieMonsterDev/agents-skills (4 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 1,204 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
