Pixeltable Skill

Multimodal RAG, video search, image similarity search, agent memory, and embeddings stored with your data.

This plugin teaches AI coding assistants to build Pixeltable applications: tables with computed columns, embedding indexes and vector search, RAG, tool-calling agents, and video, audio, image, and document pipelines across 25+ AI providers. The agent declares the schema as TableModel classes in app.py, creates the tables with pxt schema update, and serves HTTP routes with pxt service update.

Verified against Pixeltable 0.7.11 on 2026-09-28: docs/review-2.12.0.md. Later reviews: 2.13.0, 2.14.0.

Install

Skill (recommended for most assistants)

Install the portable skill with npx skills:

npx skills add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill

This installs the pixeltable skill and its references for supported coding assistants, including Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and the Codex IDE extension. A 2.13.0 install also keeps these folders beside it: multimodal-rag, video-search, image-similarity-search, audio-transcription-search, agent-memory, vector-database-alternative, incremental-ml-pipeline, dataset-versioning. Remove those directories. The pixeltable skill covers the jobs they and their slash commands named.

With only Python, pxt skills install (Pixeltable 0.7.21) copies the same skill into .claude/skills/pixeltable and .agents/skills/pixeltable. pxt skills install -f updates it.

Google Antigravity is not one of them: it reads ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills, which npx skills does not write to. Install there with ./install.sh --platform antigravity.

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/pixeltable/pixeltable-skill

This loads skills/pixeltable-skill/SKILL.md, the hosted Cloud MCP (pixeltable-cloud at https://www.pixeltable.com/mcp/cloud), and the local developer MCP (pixeltable via uvx mcp-server-pixeltable-developer). Sign in to Cloud with /mcp auth pixeltable-cloud if those tools are not listed. The hosted server supports reads and writes; it is not read-only. The local server needs uv on PATH. Set the catalog directory with gemini extensions config pixeltable (PIXELTABLE_HOME; Pixeltable’s default is ~/.pixeltable). Restart the CLI after installing.
