Purpose

Manage the structure and configuration of your local Weaviate vector database collections.

When to Use This Skill

• User wants to create a new collection
• User asks to list all collections
• User needs to view a collection's schema
• User wants to delete a collection
• User asks about collection configuration

Prerequisites Check

Claude should verify these prerequisites before proceeding:

1. ✅ weaviate-local-setup completed - Python environment and dependencies installed
2. ✅ weaviate-connection completed - Successfully connected to Weaviate
3. ✅ Docker container running - Weaviate is accessible at localhost:8080

If any prerequisites are missing, Claude should:

• Load the required prerequisite skill first
• Guide the user through the setup
• Then return to this skill

Prerequisites

• Local Weaviate running in Docker (see weaviate-local-setup skill)
• Active Weaviate connection (use weaviate-connection skill first)
• Python weaviate-client library installed

Operations

1. List All Collections

import weaviate

# Assuming client is already connected
collections = client.collections.list_all()

print(f"Found {len(collections)} collections:\n")
for name, config in collections.items():
    print(f"📦 {name}")
    if hasattr(config, 'vectorizer_config'):
        print(f"   Vectorizer: {config.vectorizer_config}")
    print()

2. View Collection Details

# Get specific collection
collection = client.collections.get("YourCollectionName")

# View configuration
config = collection.config.get()

print(f"Collection: {config.name}")
print(f"Vectorizer: {config.vectorizer}")
print(f"\nProperties:")
for prop in config.properties:
    print(f"  - {prop.name} ({prop.data_type})")
