Use this skill

Your agent runs on

Adds every file the skill has, pinned so you can update it. No account needed.

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add nousresearch-qdrant-vector-search
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script.

Install

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"

Add the skill

from decimalai import skillpkg

# Writes .agents/skills and .decimal/skills.toml. Safe to run twice.
result = skillpkg.add("nousresearch-qdrant-vector-search")
if result.exit_code:
    raise SystemExit(result.problems)

print("Added. Start Claude Code with the command below.")

Start Claude Code with it

claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install nousresearch-qdrant-vector-search

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

No Python or account. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/nousresearch-qdrant-vector-search/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/nousresearch-qdrant-vector-search/SKILL.md

Copy SKILL.md

Save it in your project, as

Qdrant - Vector Similarity Search Engine

High-performance vector database written in Rust for production RAG and semantic search.

When to use Qdrant

Use Qdrant when:

Building production RAG systems requiring low latency
Need hybrid search (vectors + metadata filtering)
Require horizontal scaling with sharding/replication
Want on-premise deployment with full data control
Need multi-vector storage per record (dense + sparse)
Building real-time recommendation systems

Key features:

Rust-powered: Memory-safe, high performance
Rich filtering: Filter by any payload field during search
Multiple vectors: Dense, sparse, multi-dense per point
Quantization: Scalar, product, binary for memory efficiency
Distributed: Raft consensus, sharding, replication
REST + gRPC: Both APIs with full feature parity

Use alternatives instead:

Chroma: Simpler setup, embedded use cases
FAISS: Maximum raw speed, research/batch processing
Pinecone: Fully managed, zero ops preferred
Weaviate: GraphQL preference, built-in vectorizers

Quick start

Installation

# Python client
pip install qdrant-client

# Docker (recommended for development)
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 qdrant/qdrant

# Docker with persistent storage
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 \
    -v $(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage \
    qdrant/qdrant

Basic usage

from qdrant_client import QdrantClient
from qdrant_client.models import Distance, VectorParams, PointStruct

# Connect to Qdrant
client = QdrantClient(host="localhost", port=6333)

# Create collection
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="documents",
    vectors_config=VectorParams(size=384, distance=Distance.COSINE)
)

# Insert vectors with payload
client.upsert(
    collection_name="documents",
    points=[
        PointStruct(
            id=1,
            vector=[0.1, 0.2, ...],  # 384-dim vector
            payload={"title": "Doc 1", "category": "tech"}
        ),
        PointStruct(
            id=2,
            vector=[0.3, 0.4, ...],
            payload={"title": "Doc 2", "category": "science"}
        )
    ]
)

# Search with filtering (query_points is the current API; client.search is removed in qdrant-client 1.14+)
response = client.query_points(
    collection_name="documents",
    query=[0.15, 0.25, ...],
    query_filter={
        "must": [{"key": "category", "match": {"value": "tech"}}]
    },
    limit=10
)

for point in response.points:
    print(f"ID: {point.id}, Score: {point.score}, Payload: {point.payload}")

Core concepts

Points - Basic data unit

from qdrant_client.models import PointStruct

# Point = ID + Vector(s) + Payload
point = PointStruct(
    id=123,                              # Integer or UUID string
    vector=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...],        # Dense vector
    payload={                            # Arbitrary JSON metadata
        "title": "Document title",
        "category": "tech",
        "timestamp": 1699900000,
        "tags": ["python", "ml"]
    }
)

# Batch upsert (recommended)
client.upsert(
    collection_name="documents",
    points=[point1, point2, point3],
    wait=True  # Wait for indexing
)

Collections - Vector containers

from qdrant_client.models import VectorParams, Distance, HnswConfigDiff

# Create with HNSW configuration
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="documents",
    vectors_config=VectorParams(
        size=384,                        # Vector dimensions
        distance=Distance.COSINE         # COSINE, EUCLID, DOT, MANHATTAN
    ),
    hnsw_config=HnswConfigDiff(
        m=16,                            # Connections per node (default 16)
        ef_construct=100,                # Build-time accuracy (default 100)
        full_scan_threshold=10000        # Switch to brute force below this
    ),
    on_disk_payload=True                 # Store payload on disk
)

# Collection info
info = client.get_collection("documents")
print(f"Points: {info.points_count}, Vectors: {info.vectors_count}")

Distance metrics

Metric	Use Case	Range
`COSINE`	Text embeddings, normalized vectors	0 to 2
`EUCLID`	Spatial data, image features	0 to ∞
`DOT`	Recommendations, unnormalized	-∞ to ∞
`MANHATTAN`	Sparse features, discrete data	0 to ∞

Search operations

Basic search

# Simple nearest neighbor search (returns a QueryResponse; use .points)
response = client.query_points(
    collection_name="documents",
    query=[0.1, 0.2, ...],
    limit=10,
    with_payload=True,
    with_vectors=False  # Don't return vectors (faster)
)
results = response.points

Filtered search

from qdrant_client.models import Filter, FieldCondition, MatchValue, Range

# Complex filtering
response = client.query_points(
    collection_name="documents",
    query=query_embedding,
    query_filter=Filter(
        must=[
            FieldCondition(key="category", match=MatchValue(value="tech")),
            FieldCondition(key="timestamp", range=Range(gte=1699000000))
        ],
        must_not=[
            FieldCondition(key="status", match=MatchValue(value="archived"))
        ]
    ),
    limit=10
).points

# Shorthand filter syntax
response = client.query_points(
    collection_name="documents",
    query=query_embedding,
    query_filter={
        "must": [
            {"key": "category", "match": {"value": "tech"}},
            {"key": "price", "range": {"gte": 10, "lte": 100}}
        ]
    },
    limit=10
).points

Batch search

from qdrant_client.models import QueryRequest

# Multiple queries in one request (search_batch is replaced by query_batch_points)
responses = client.query_batch_points(
    collection_name="documents",
    requests=[
        QueryRequest(query=[0.1, ...], limit=5),
        QueryRequest(query=[0.2, ...], limit=5, filter={"must": [...]}),
        QueryRequest(query=[0.3, ...], limit=10)
    ]
)
# Each element is a QueryResponse; use .points
for resp in responses:
    for point in resp.points:
        print(point.id, point.score)

RAG integration

With sentence-transformers

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from qdrant_client import QdrantClient
from qdrant_client.models import VectorParams, Distance, PointStruct

# Initialize
encoder = SentenceTransformer("all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
client = QdrantClient(host="localhost", port=6333)

# Create collection
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="knowledge_base",
    vectors_config=VectorParams(size=384, distance=Distance.COSINE)
)

# Index documents
documents = [
    {"id": 1, "text": "Python is a programming language", "source": "wiki"},
    {"id": 2, "text": "Machine learning uses algorithms", "source": "textbook"},
]

points = [
    PointStruct(
        id=doc["id"],
        vector=encoder.encode(doc["text"]).tolist(),
        payload={"text": doc["text"], "source": doc["source"]}
    )
    for doc in documents
]
client.upsert(collection_name="knowledge_base", points=points)

# RAG retrieval
def retrieve(query: str, top_k: int = 5) -> list[dict]:
    query_vector = encoder.encode(query).tolist()
    response = client.query_points(
        collection_name="knowledge_base",
        query=query_vector,
        limit=top_k
    )
    return [{"text": r.payload["text"], "score": r.score} for r in response.points]

# Use in RAG pipeline
context = retrieve("What is Python?")
prompt = f"Context: {context}\n\nQuestion: What is Python?"

from langchain_community.embeddings import HuggingFaceEmbeddings

embeddings = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name="all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
vectorstore = Qdrant.from_documents(documents, embeddings, url="http://localhost:6333", collection_name="docs")
retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k": 5})

With LlamaIndex

from llama_index.vector_stores.qdrant import QdrantVectorStore
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, StorageContext

vector_store = QdrantVectorStore(client=client, collection_name="llama_docs")
storage_context = StorageContext.from_defaults(vector_store=vector_store)
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents, storage_context=storage_context)
query_engine = index.as_query_engine()

Multi-vector support

Named vectors (different embedding models)

from qdrant_client.models import VectorParams, Distance

# Collection with multiple vector types
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="hybrid_search",
    vectors_config={
        "dense": VectorParams(size=384, distance=Distance.COSINE),
        "sparse": VectorParams(size=30000, distance=Distance.DOT)
    }
)

# Insert with named vectors
client.upsert(
    collection_name="hybrid_search",
    points=[
        PointStruct(
            id=1,
            vector={
                "dense": dense_embedding,
                "sparse": sparse_embedding
            },
            payload={"text": "document text"}
        )
    ]
)

# Search specific named vector (pass the vector name via `using`)
response = client.query_points(
    collection_name="hybrid_search",
    query=query_dense,
    using="dense",  # Specify which named vector to search
    limit=10
)
results = response.points

Sparse vectors (BM25, SPLADE)

from qdrant_client.models import SparseVectorParams, SparseIndexParams, SparseVector

# Collection with sparse vectors
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="sparse_search",
    vectors_config={},
    sparse_vectors_config={"text": SparseVectorParams(index=SparseIndexParams(on_disk=False))}
)

# Insert sparse vector
client.upsert(
    collection_name="sparse_search",
    points=[PointStruct(id=1, vector={"text": SparseVector(indices=[1, 5, 100], values=[0.5, 0.8, 0.2])}, payload={"text": "document"})]
)

Quantization (memory optimization)

from qdrant_client.models import ScalarQuantization, ScalarQuantizationConfig, ScalarType

# Scalar quantization (4x memory reduction)
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="quantized",
    vectors_config=VectorParams(size=384, distance=Distance.COSINE),
    quantization_config=ScalarQuantization(
        scalar=ScalarQuantizationConfig(
            type=ScalarType.INT8,
            quantile=0.99,        # Clip outliers
            always_ram=True      # Keep quantized in RAM
        )
    )
)

# Search with rescoring
response = client.query_points(
    collection_name="quantized",
    query=query,
    search_params={"quantization": {"rescore": True}},  # Rescore top results
    limit=10
)
results = response.points

Payload indexing

from qdrant_client.models import PayloadSchemaType

# Create payload index for faster filtering
client.create_payload_index(
    collection_name="documents",
    field_name="category",
    field_schema=PayloadSchemaType.KEYWORD
)

client.create_payload_index(
    collection_name="documents",
    field_name="timestamp",
    field_schema=PayloadSchemaType.INTEGER
)

# Index types: KEYWORD, INTEGER, FLOAT, GEO, TEXT (full-text), BOOL

Production deployment

Qdrant Cloud

from qdrant_client import QdrantClient

# Connect to Qdrant Cloud
client = QdrantClient(
    url="https://your-cluster.cloud.qdrant.io",
    api_key="your-api-key"
)

Performance tuning

# Optimize for search speed (higher recall)
client.update_collection(
    collection_name="documents",
    hnsw_config=HnswConfigDiff(ef_construct=200, m=32)
)

# Optimize for indexing speed (bulk loads)
client.update_collection(
    collection_name="documents",
    optimizer_config={"indexing_threshold": 20000}
)

Best practices

Batch operations - Use batch upsert/search for efficiency
Payload indexing - Index fields used in filters
Quantization - Enable for large collections (>1M vectors)
Sharding - Use for collections >10M vectors
On-disk storage - Enable on_disk_payload for large payloads
Connection pooling - Reuse client instances

Common issues

Slow search with filters:

# Create payload index for filtered fields
client.create_payload_index(
    collection_name="docs",
    field_name="category",
    field_schema=PayloadSchemaType.KEYWORD
)

Out of memory:

# Enable quantization and on-disk storage
client.create_collection(
    collection_name="large_collection",
    vectors_config=VectorParams(size=384, distance=Distance.COSINE),
    quantization_config=ScalarQuantization(...),
    on_disk_payload=True
)

Connection issues:

# Use timeout and retry
client = QdrantClient(
    host="localhost",
    port=6333,
    timeout=30,
    prefer_grpc=True  # gRPC for better performance
)
