storing-and-querying-vectors
An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: aws, database, ml, search, vector.
What it does
Store and query vector embeddings using Amazon S3 Vectors, a cost-effective long-term vector storage service with its own API namespace (s3vectors). Triggers on: create S3 vector bucket, vector index, store embeddings, semantic search, RAG vector storage, similarity search, vector database, migrate from other vector databases. Do NOT use for: querying tabular data (use querying-data-lake), S3 object storage, or hundreds/thousands of sustained QPS (use OpenSearch).
Install
With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:
npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill storing-and-querying-vectors
Or copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws
cp -r agent-toolkit-for-aws/plugins/aws-data-analytics/skills/storing-and-querying-vectors ~/.claude/skills/storing-and-querying-vectors
