ask-zilliz
Zilliz Cloud onboarding and usage assistant. Helps users understand Zilliz Cloud, choose the right plan, estimate costs, write code, debug issues, and adopt new features like Functions, Volumes, and Global Clusters. Use this skill whenever the user asks about Zilliz Cloud — including plan selection, pricing, cost estimation, capacity planning, cluster configuration, SDK usage, schema design, search patterns, migration, troubleshooting, MCP server setup, Terraform, auto-scaling, metrics/alerts, backup/restore, or any "how do I do X with Zilliz Cloud" question. Also trigger when the user mentions keywords like: "Zilliz", "zilliz cloud", "vector database", "which plan", "serverless vs dedicated", "CU", "vCU", "Milvus cloud", "pymilvus", "collection", "embedding function", "hybrid search", "rerank", "BM25", "global cluster", "BYOC", "tiered storage", "volume", "data import", "MCP server", "partition key", or error messages from Zilliz Cloud.
