A vector index has knobs, and the defaults are a guess about a workload that isn't yours. HNSW graph parameters and quantization each trade recall against latency and memory — and the recall loss is invisible unless you measure it. This skill replaces "enable quantization and hope" with a sweep: hold the data and queries fixed, vary the index settings, and pick the configuration that hits your recall target at the lowest cost.
Embedding Index Tuner is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/embedding-index-tuner/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when vector search is slow or memory-hungry, when recall dropped after enabling quantization, or when standing up an index and you need defensible parameters.
The Embedding Index Tuner Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 119,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/embedding-index-tuner/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Embedding Index Tuner is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
