duckdb-skills is a plugin for Claude Code that adds DuckDB-powered skills for exploring data and remembering past sessions, according to its GitHub README. It provides six skills: attach-db, query, read-file, duckdb-docs, read-memories, and install-duckdb, which let a user attach and query DuckDB databases, read various data file formats, search DuckDB/DuckLake documentation, search past session logs, and install or update DuckDB extensions. Skills share a single state.sql file per project that records ATTACH/USE/LOAD statements so sessions can be restored automatically. The plugin is installed via Claude Code's /plugin marketplace add and /plugin install commands. Per the README, it has been tested on macOS and Linux, while Windows support is not yet complete.
