viking-developer is a Claude skill that guides developers integrating the Viking SDK for VikingDB, KnowledgeBase and Memory.
About
viking-developer guides developers integrating the Viking SDK across VikingDB (vector database), KnowledgeBase and Memory. It covers installation, authentication, interface calls and troubleshooting, and points to per-language SDK guides for Python, Go, Java and NodeJS. The skill first runs scripts/upgrade.py to sync the latest resources, then reads resources/index.md to navigate to the right guide, best practices or FAQ.

FAQ
Which SDK languages are covered?
The guides cover Python, Go, Java and NodeJS SDKs for VikingDB, KnowledgeBase and Memory.
What does the skill do first?
It runs scripts/upgrade.py to sync the latest resources, then reads resources/index.md for navigation.
