# Milvus Vector Database Skill

Operate [Milvus](https://milvus.io/) vector databases directly through Python code using the `pymilvus` SDK. Covers the full lifecycle — connecting, schema design, collection management, vector CRUD, search, hybrid search, full-text search, indexing, partitions, databases, and RBAC.

## When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Connect to a Milvus instance (local, standalone, cluster, or Milvus Lite)
- Create collections with custom schemas
- Insert, upsert, search, query, get, or delete vectors
- Perform hybrid search with reranking
- Perform full-text search (BM25)
- Manage indexes, partitions, databases
- Set up users, roles, and access control (RBAC)
- Build RAG pipelines, semantic search, or recommendation systems with Milvus
- Iterate over large result sets with search/query iterators

## Requirements

- Python 3.8+
- `pymilvus` (`pip install pymilvus`)
- A running Milvus instance, or use Milvus Lite (embedded, file-based) for development

## Capabilities Overview

| Area | What You Can Do |
|------|----------------|
| **Connection** | Connect to Milvus Lite, Standalone, Cluster, or Zilliz Cloud |
| **Collections** | Create (quick or custom schema), list, describe, drop, rename, truncate, load, release |
