vector

vector is a skill for Claude Code from zilliztech/zilliz-plugin. It costs 28 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Commands for adding, replacing, finding, and deleting numeric representations of data in a Milvus collection. Milvus is a database designed for searching items by similarity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to insert or upsert vector records, run similarity or combined searches, and target a specific database or collection through the Zilliz command line.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember separate command formats for storing vectors, updating them, and searching with optional filters or fields.

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

vector 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 1mo 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites

  1. CLI installed, logged in, and cluster context set (see setup skill).
  2. Target collection must exist and be loaded (see collection skill).

Commands Reference

All vector commands accept an optional --database <db-name> flag to target a non-default database. If omitted, the database from the current context is used.

Insert Vectors

zilliz vector insert --collection <collection-name> --data '[{"id": 1, "vector": [0.1, 0.2, ...], "text": "hello"}]'
# Optional: --database <database-name>
# Or use raw JSON: --body '{...}'

Upsert Vectors

zilliz vector upsert --collection <collection-name> --data '[{"id": 1, "vector": [0.1, 0.2, ...], "text": "hello"}]'
# Optional: --partition <partition-name>, --database <database-name>
# Or use raw JSON: --body '{...}'

Vector Search

zilliz vector search --collection <collection-name> --data '[[0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...]]'
# Optional:
#   --anns-field <vector-field-to-search-on>
#   --limit <max-results-to-return>
#   --filter <scalar-filter-expression>
#   --output-fields '["field1", "field2"]'
#   --database <database-name>

Hybrid Search

zilliz vector hybrid-search \
  --collection <collection-name> \
  --search '[{"data": [[0.1, ...]], "annsField": "dense_vector", "limit": 10}, {"data": [["search text"]], "annsField": "sparse_vector", "limit": 10}]' \
  --rerank '{"strategy": "rrf", "params": {"k": 60}}'
# Optional:
#   --limit <max-results-to-return>
#   --output-fields '["field1", "field2"]'
#   --database <database-name>
# Or use raw JSON: --body '{...}'

Query by Filter

zilliz vector query --collection <collection-name> --filter <scalar-filter-expression>
# Optional:
#   --limit <max-results-to-return>
#   --output-fields '["field1", "field2"]'
#   --database <database-name>

Get by ID

zilliz vector get --collection <collection-name> --id '[1, 2, 3]'
# Optional: --output-fields '["field1", "field2"]', --database <database-name>

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.

vector is a skill published in the GitHub repository zilliztech/zilliz-plugin (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 963 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
