Vector DB Initialization

The vector-db-init skill is an automated setup routine that prepares the environment for the Vector DBMS.

Examples

Real-world examples of each config file are in references/examples/ :

File Purpose

vector_profiles.json

Profile registry -- defines named vector collections and ChromaDB connection

vector_knowledge_manifest.json

Manifest -- what folders/globs to include/exclude in the vector index

When to Use This

• When a user first installs the vector-db plugin.

• If the user complains that chromadb is not installed or ModuleNotFoundError is thrown.

• If the Vector DB profile is missing from .agent/learning/vector_profiles.json .

Instructions for Agent

Run the Initialization Script: You must execute the interactive initialization script located at scripts/init.py .

python3 ./scripts/init.py

Wait for Completion: The script will automatically run pip install , then prompt the user to select their deployment architecture (In-Process or Native Server). All settings are written to .agent/learning/vector_profiles.json .

Verify: After the script completes successfully, inform the user that their environment is ready, and they can now run the vector-db-launch skill to start the background server (if they chose Option 2).
