Overview skill for OceanBase SeekDB. Routes to specialized sub-skills covering the full SeekDB lifecycle — install/deploy on a target machine, build from source, look up documentation, use the seekdb-cli for SQL/schema/vector ops, import CSV/Excel data, and query/export results. Use as a starting point when the user mentions seekdb, pyseekdb, "install seekdb", "build seekdb", "seekdb docs", "seekdb-cli", "import to seekdb", "query seekdb", or wants a lightweight standalone OceanBase-compatible …

Summary

  • Overview skill for OceanBase SeekDB.
  • Routes to specialized sub-skills covering the full SeekDB lifecycle — install/deploy on a target machine, build from source, look up documentation, use the seekdb-cli for SQL/schema/vector ops, import CSV/Excel data, and query/export results.
  • Use as a starting point when the user mentions seekdb, pyseekdb, "install seekdb", "build seekdb", "seekdb docs", "seekdb-cli", "import to seekdb", "query seekdb", or wants a lightweight standalone OceanBase-compatible database.
  • For deployments and primary-standby HA managed through obd seekdb, use the separate obd-seekdb child skill in the oceanbase-deploy bundle.

SeekDB

SeekDB is a lightweight OceanBase-compatible database that can run as a standalone server (Homebrew / Docker / yum / apt / Windows MSI) or as an embedded Python module (pyseekdb). It also supports vector search, hybrid search, and AI functions.

This is the entry point. Pick the sub-skill that matches the user's task.

Skill Index

Sub-skill Use When
[install](install/SKILL.md) Install / deploy SeekDB on a target machine — Homebrew, Docker, yum, apt, Windows MSI, or pip embedded.
[build](build/SKILL.md) Build SeekDB binaries and packages from source — macOS, Linux, Android (cross), Windows, Python wheel.
[docs](docs/SKILL.md) Look up SeekDB documentation (SQL syntax, vector/hybrid search, integrations, SDK APIs, deployment guides) via catalog-based search.
[cli](cli/SKILL.md) Use seekdb-cli to interact with a SeekDB/OceanBase instance from the shell — SQL, schema exploration, table profiling, vector collections, AI models.
[importing](importing/SKILL.md) Import CSV / Excel files into SeekDB, with optional column vectorization for semantic search.
[querying](querying/SKILL.md) Query a SeekDB collection — scalar (metadata) search, hybrid (fulltext + semantic) search, export to CSV / Excel.

When to Use Which Sub-skill

User says... Go to
"Install seekdb on my Mac / Linux / Windows" [install](install/SKILL.md)
"I want to use seekdb from Python" [install](install/SKILL.md) — pip embedded mode
"Build seekdb from source" / "make a release rpm/deb/tgz/apk/installer" [build](build/SKILL.md)
"How does seekdb's hybrid search / vector index / SQL function X work?" [docs](docs/SKILL.md)
"Connect to seekdb from shell" / "run SQL via CLI" / "list tables" / "profile this table" [cli](cli/SKILL.md)
"Import this CSV / Excel into seekdb" / "vectorize a column" [importing](importing/SKILL.md)
"Search this collection" / "filter by metadata" / "export search results to Excel" [querying](querying/SKILL.md)
"Deploy seekdb primary-standby with obd, do switchover/failover" Use the separate obd-seekdb child skill at [../oceanbase-deploy/seekdb/SKILL.md](../oceanbase-deploy/seekdb/SKILL.md). Its directory path remains oceanbase-deploy/seekdb/, but its skill name and responsibility are OBD lifecycle/HA management; this skill is for the SeekDB product itself.

Two Directions Under This Skill

The sub-skills naturally split into two directions — pick by what the user wants to do:

  • Provisioning (install, build) — get SeekDB running on a machine, or produce a build artifact.
  • Data plane (docs, cli, importing, querying) — interact with a running SeekDB: look up documentation, run SQL, ingest data, search.
