Use TuringDB with Claude Code

Install the TuringDB Claude Code skill so Claude can start, query, and write to TuringDB for you.

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-skills

This 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 nodes

Claude 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.
