qdrant-scaling
About
This skill helps developers make Qdrant scaling decisions for data volume, query throughput, latency, or query volume needs. It provides guidance on choosing between vertical/horizontal scaling, sharding strategies, and capacity planning. Use it when dealing with cluster performance issues, capacity constraints, or multi-tenant architectures.

Qdrant Scaling
First determine what you're scaling for:
- data volume
- query throughput (QPS)
- query latency
- query volume
After determining the scaling goal, we can choose scaling strategy based on tradeoffs and assumptions. Each pulls toward different strategies. Scaling for throughput and latency are opposite tuning directions.
Scaling Data Volume
This becomes relevant when volume of the dataset exceeds the capacity of a single node. Read more about scaling for data volume in Scaling Data Volume
Scaling for Query Throughput
If your system needs to handle more parallel queries than a single node can handle, then you need to scale for query throughput.
Read more about scaling for query throughput in Scaling for Query Throughput
Scaling for Query Latency
Latency of a single query is determined by the slowest component in the query execution path. It is in sometimes correlated with throughput, but not always. It might require different strategies for scaling.

Scaling for Query Volume
By query volume we understand the amount of results that a single query returns. If the query volume is too high, it can cause performance issues and increase latency.
Tuning for query volume is opposite might require special strategies.

executing-plans
DesignUse the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
requesting-code-review
DesignThis skill dispatches a code-reviewer subagent to analyze code changes against requirements before proceeding. It should be used after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to main. The review helps catch issues early by comparing the current implementation with the original plan.
connect-mcp-server
DesignThis skill provides a comprehensive guide for developers to connect MCP servers to Claude Code using HTTP, stdio, or SSE transports. It covers installation, configuration, authentication, and security for integrating external services like GitHub, Notion, and custom APIs. Use it when setting up MCP integrations, configuring external tools, or working with Claude's Model Context Protocol.
web-cli-teleport
DesignThis skill helps developers choose between Claude Code Web and CLI interfaces based on task analysis, then enables seamless session teleportation between these environments. It optimizes workflow by managing session state and context when switching between web, CLI, or mobile. Use it for complex projects requiring different tools at various stages.
