pp-pinecone
Every Pinecone API feature, plus local sync, snapshot history, and text-first search no other Pinecone tool has. Trigger phrases: `query my pinecone index`, `upsert vectors into pinecone`, `search pinecone embeddings`, `check pinecone index health`, `what changed in my pinecone index`, `use pinecone`, `run pinecone`.

What this skill does
Pinecone — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the pinecone-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: pinecone-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. The Pinecone CLI manages indexes, vectors, namespaces, backups, imports, inference, and admin — then goes further: sync index and record metadata into a local SQLite database for offline search, capture snapshot history to diff and project growth, and search by natural language without touching vectors. Agent-native --json/--select/csv output and typed exit codes make it scriptable in CI. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when you manage Pinecone indexes and vectors from a terminal or agent: create and scale indexes, ingest and query vectors, run semantic search over text, audit backup coverage, and track index growth over time. It is the right tool for RAG pipelines, embedding workflows, and index fleet administration. …
