What it does
Redis Agent Skills is the official set of 15 Agent Skills for agents working with Redis. The base part covers data structures, key naming, TTL and memory, JSON vs Hash, Streams vs Pub/Sub, connection pools and pipelining, clustering with hash tags, authentication, TLS and ACL, and metrics and debugging with `SLOWLOG` and `MEMORY DOCTOR`. The `redis-search` skill covers `FT.CREATE`, `FT.SEARCH`, vector similarity and hybrid retrieval for RAG. The second part covers Redis Iris: `add-redis-iris` detects the agent framework and routes to the right skill, followed by agent memory, playbooks, a context gateway for MCP servers, an intent router and Lens tracing. The plugins for Claude Code, ChatGPT and Codex, and Cursor bundle the docs MCP server `https://redis.io/mcp` with no credentials, offering `search`, `fetch` and `ask` tools.
Who it is for. Backend developers and ML engineers who use Redis for caching, search, queues or agent memory and have AI write and review that code.
Good fit when
- You are choosing a data structure for a leaderboard or queue and want advice that accounts for memory and atomicity.
- You set up vector and hybrid search through `FT.SEARCH` for a RAG pipeline.
- A cluster throws CROSSSLOT errors and hash tags are needed for multi-key operations.
- An agent gets cross-session memory or a single gateway for MCP servers built on Redis Iris.
Not a fit when
- Work is with a different database: the skills are written for Redis.
- Data policy forbids sending agent queries to redis.io while the plugin enables the docs MCP server.
- You need a ready client library: the skills give instructions and ship no client code.

Which Redis data structure should I choose for a leaderboard and how do I set TTL on temporary entries? Use the Redis skills.Limitations
Installing through `npx skills add` does not carry the docs MCP server because the Agent Skills format has no MCP component. In the plugins every docs tool call sends the agent's query text to redis.io, and the server can be disabled in client settings (in Claude Code with `/mcp`). Some skills belong to Redis Iris products and need them connected. For ChatGPT and Codex the plugin is built from the `plugins/redis-development/` directory rather than the repository root.
How to disable. Remove the plugin with `/plugin` in Claude Code or the skill folders from the agent directory. The `redis-docs` MCP server is disabled in `/mcp`.
FAQ
How do I install Redis Agent Skills?
Run `npx skills add redis/agent-skills`. Claude Code has a plugin: `/plugin install redis-development@claude-plugins-official`. In Cursor type `/add-plugin redis` in chat.
Which topics do the skills cover?
Data structures, connections, search, semantic cache, clustering, security, observability and reading docs through MCP. A separate group covers Redis Iris: agent memory, playbooks, context gateway, intent router and tracing.
Does the docs MCP server need credentials?
No. The `https://redis.io/mcp` server is public and read-only and connects automatically once the plugin is enabled. Tools: `search`, `fetch` and `ask`.
How do I add the docs server without the plugin?
Run `claude mcp add --transport http redis-docs https://redis.io/mcp`. `npx skills add` does not install the server.
Who publishes this set?
Redis itself publishes it in the redis GitHub organization. The skills follow the agentskills.io specification.
