# 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](https://claude.com/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:

```bash theme={null}
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:

```text theme={null}
/turingdb
  create a graph called movies,
  load ./movies.jsonl,
  then return the top 10 most connected nodes
```

```text theme={null}
/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.
