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 obd-managed seekdb deployments and primary-standby HA, see the separate oceanbase-deploy/seekdb skill instead.

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.
| Sub-skill | Use When |
|---|---|
| install | Install / deploy SeekDB on a target machine — Homebrew, Docker, yum, apt, Windows MSI, or pip embedded. |
| build | Build SeekDB binaries and packages from source — macOS, Linux, Android (cross), Windows, Python wheel. |
| docs | Look up SeekDB documentation (SQL syntax, vector/hybrid search, integrations, SDK APIs, deployment guides) via catalog-based search. |
| cli | Use seekdb-cli to interact with a SeekDB/OceanBase instance from the shell — SQL, schema exploration, table profiling, vector collections, AI models. |
| importing | Import CSV / Excel files into SeekDB, with optional column vectorization for semantic search. |
| querying | Query a SeekDB collection — scalar (metadata) search, hybrid (fulltext + semantic) search, export to CSV / Excel. |
| User says... | Go to |
|---|---|
| "Install seekdb on my Mac / Linux / Windows" | install |
| "I want to use seekdb from Python" | install — pip embedded mode |
| "Build seekdb from source" / "make a release rpm/deb/tgz/apk/installer" | build |
| "How does seekdb's hybrid search / vector index / SQL function X work?" | docs |
| "Connect to seekdb from shell" / "run SQL via CLI" / "list tables" / "profile this table" | cli |
| "Import this CSV / Excel into seekdb" / "vectorize a column" | importing |
| "Search this collection" / "filter by metadata" / "export search results to Excel" | querying |
| "Deploy seekdb primary-standby with obd, do switchover/failover" | use the separate oceanbase-deploy/seekdb skill at ../oceanbase-deploy/seekdb/SKILL.md. That skill is for obd-managed HA clusters; this skill is for the SeekDB product itself. |
The sub-skills naturally split into two directions — pick by what the user wants to do:
install, build) — get SeekDB running on a machine, or produce a build artifact.docs, cli, importing, querying) — interact with a running SeekDB: look up documentation, run SQL, ingest data, search.| Port | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 2881 | MySQL protocol |
| 2886 | HTTP / obshell |
