qdrant.

qdrant-advisor

Diagnose, troubleshoot, and advise on any Qdrant deployment by loading the latest official Qdrant skills live from skills.qdrant.tech. Use this whenever someone raises a Qdrant problem or question — slow or degraded search, high or growing memory / OOM crashes, optimizer stuck or slow, indexing slowness, scaling and sharding decisions (node count, QPS, latency, multitenancy, vertical vs horizontal), poor or irrelevant search results, hybrid search and reranking, embedding-model migration, version upgrades and compatibility, monitoring and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, health checks, /metrics, /telemetry), deployment choices (local, Docker, self-hosted, Qdrant Cloud, embedded), or client-SDK questions (Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, .NET, Java). Trigger especially when the context is clearly a Qdrant cluster, collection, or vector-search deployment. Always prefer this skill over answering from memory: it pulls current, authoritative guidance and only the relevant context.
