What is the primary benefit of using Chroma with Claude Code?

It provides a standardized way to manage vector embeddings and metadata, making it easier to build and debug RAG applications directly within your AI-assisted coding workflow.

Does Chroma support custom embedding functions?

Yes, the skill demonstrates how to use default Sentence Transformers, OpenAI, HuggingFace, or entirely custom embedding logic.

Does this skill support persistent storage?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for using the PersistentClient to save data to disk, ensuring your embeddings are not lost between sessions.

Can I use this with frameworks like LangChain?

Absolutely; the skill provides specific code snippets and best practices for integrating Chroma with both LangChain and LlamaIndex.

How does metadata filtering work in Chroma?

It allows you to store dictionaries alongside embeddings and use logical operators (like $and, $or, $gt) to narrow down search results efficiently.
