Pixeltable Skill

Agent Skill that teaches AI coding assistants to write correct Pixeltable code — declarative tables that replace LangChain + pandas + vector databases with one system. Covers 25+ AI providers, multimodal pipelines, tool-calling agents, RAG, and production patterns.

Install

Which path? Use npx plugins add for the full plugin (skill + agents + slash commands) on Claude Code and Cursor. Use npx skills add to install just the skill content across 40+ agents (Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, etc.) or in CI. Both work; they're complementary.

Plugin — Claude Code & Cursor (npx plugins)

npx plugins add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill

Skill only — Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and 40+ agents (npx skills)

npx skills add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill

Claude Code (manual marketplace)

/plugin marketplace add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill
/plugin install pixeltable@pixeltable-skill

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill --ref main
codex plugin add pixeltable@pixeltable-skill

The plugin install (npx plugins add) bundles the skill, commands, agents, and hooks. The skill install (npx skills add) delivers just the skill content. Hooks run on Claude Code; Cursor honors session-start context only.
