Pixeltable

Pixeltable Skill

The backend agents build with: multimodal database, orchestration, and serving in one file.

This plugin teaches AI coding assistants to build Pixeltable applications: tables with computed columns, embedding indexes and vector search, RAG, tool-calling agents, and video, audio, image, and document pipelines across 25+ AI providers. The agent declares the schema as TableModel classes in app.py, creates the tables with pxt schema update, and serves HTTP routes with pxt service update.

Install

Skill (recommended for most assistants)

Install the portable skill with npx skills:

npx skills add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill

This installs SKILL.md and its references for supported coding assistants, including Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and the Codex IDE extension.

Google Antigravity is not one of them: it reads ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills, which npx skills does not write to. Install there with ./install.sh --platform antigravity.

Full plugin

Install the skill with its client-supported commands, agents, and hooks using npx plugins:

npx plugins add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill

Client-native marketplace options:

• Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill, then /plugin install pixeltable@pixeltable-skill
• ChatGPT desktop and Codex: codex plugin marketplace add pixeltable/pixeltable-skill --ref main, then codex plugin add pixeltable@pixeltable-skill. Use /plugins in Codex or the Plugins page in ChatGPT desktop.

Restart or start a new conversation after installing. Repository marketplaces are team-distribution sources; they do not publish to a public directory.
