TuringDB ships an official Claude Code skill. Once installed, Claude knows how to start a TuringDB server, load graphs, write Cypher queries, create changes and commits, run vector search, and use the Python SDK, without you having to paste documentation into every conversation.
Install
Run this one command from your terminal:
npx skills add https://github.com/turing-db/turingdb-skillsThis registers the skill with your local Claude Code installation. No other setup is required.
Use it
Inside any Claude Code session, invoke the skill by starting your prompt with /turingdb followed by what you want to do. For example:
/turingdb
create a graph called movies,
load ./movies.jsonl,
then return the top 10 most connected nodes/turingdb
run a vector search on the embeddings property
of my Document nodesClaude will automatically pull in the right reference material (startup, querying, writing, algorithms, introspection) based on the task.
What the skill covers
The skill is structured so Claude only loads the reference it needs:
| Module | Covers |
|---|---|
startup | Installation, starting the server, connecting, loading a graph |
querying | MATCH, WHERE, joins, built-in functions |
writing | CREATE, SET, the change and commit workflow |
algorithms | Shortest path, vector search |
introspection | Schema exploration, Python SDK reference |

Once installed, try /turingdb show me the schema of my current graph to confirm everything is wired up.
