AI Agent Skill¶
Uni ships an agent skill (uni-db-dev) that gives AI coding assistants deep knowledge of the Uni API, Cypher dialect, Locy language, vector search, and schema design. With the skill installed, your AI assistant can build Uni-powered applications without you having to paste documentation into every conversation.
The skill works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cline, and other agents that support the skills.sh ecosystem.
What the skill provides¶
The skill bundles reference material that the agent loads on demand:
| Reference | Covers |
|---|---|
| Cypher reference | Full clause syntax, operators, functions, patterns |
| Vector search | KNN, FTS, hybrid search procedures and parameters |
| Locy reference | Rules, ALONG/FOLD/BEST BY, ASSUME/ABDUCE |
| Schema design | Modeling principles, index types, pushdown rules |
| Python API | Database, AsyncDatabase, builders, bulk ops, transactions |
| Rust API | Uni, query, schema, bulk, transactions, sessions |
Installation¶
This fetches the skill from the Uni repository and installs it into your agent's configuration. Works with any agent that supports the skills.sh directory.
When the skill triggers¶
The skill activates automatically when the agent detects any of these signals:
- Code imports
uni_db(Python) or depends on theuni-dbcrate (Rust) - You mention "uni", "uni-db", or "graph database" in context of this project
- You write or ask about Cypher queries
- You work with Locy programs
- You need vector or hybrid search on a graph
- You ask about schema design, data ingestion, or query optimization for Uni
Usage examples¶
Once installed, just ask your agent what you need. The skill provides context automatically.
Build a schema:
Design a schema for a social network with users, posts, and follows.
Include vector embeddings on posts for semantic search.
Write queries:
Write a Cypher query that finds friends-of-friends who liked
the same posts, ordered by overlap count.
Set up vector search:
Add hybrid search (vector + full-text) over a Document label
with a 768-dim embedding and an abstract field.
Write Locy rules:
Write Locy rules for transitive risk propagation through
a network of accounts connected by transfers.
Updating the skill¶
To get the latest version after a Uni release, re-run the install command:
