SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? New users of the Pinecone plugin often don't know which skills exist, what each one does, or what they need to configure before running any Pinecone operation. This Skill provides a single entry point that answers those questions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Directory: Lists all available Pinecone skills (quickstart, query, cli, assistant, mcp, full-text-search, docs, n8n) with a one-line summary of each. - Setup Checklist: Explains required prerequisites (Pinecone account, PINECONE_API_KEY environment variable) and optional tools (Pinecone MCP server, Pinecone CLI, uv). - Decision Guidance: Maps common goals to the right skill, such as searching an existing index, building document Q&A, or creating n8n workflows. - Use Case: A user just installed the plugin and asks "what Pinecone skills are available and what do I need to set up?" — this Skill returns the full overview and points them to pinecone:quickstart. ## Quick Start Ask what Pinecone skills are available and what you need to configure before using them.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What Pinecone skills are available in Claude Code?▼

The plugin provides eight skills: quickstart, query, cli, assistant, mcp, full-text-search, docs, and n8n. Invoke any of them with /pinecone:<skill-name>, for example /pinecone:quickstart for guided onboarding.

How do I get started with the Pinecone plugin?▼

Create a free Pinecone account, generate an API key in the console, and set it with export PINECONE_API_KEY="your-key" in your terminal. Then run /pinecone:quickstart for step-by-step onboarding.

Which Pinecone skill should I use to search an index?▼

Use pinecone:query for integrated indexes with built-in embedding models, which works through the Pinecone MCP server. For other index types, use pinecone:cli with the Pinecone CLI.

Do I need to install anything besides a Pinecone API key?▼

Only the API key is required. Optional tools unlock more features: the Pinecone MCP server for in-agent operations, the Pinecone CLI for terminal management, and uv to run the packaged Python scripts.

Can I use Pinecone skills without the MCP server installed?▼

Yes, but skills that depend on MCP, such as pinecone:query, will not function. Skills like pinecone:cli and pinecone:assistant work through the CLI or Python scripts instead.
