AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
Turso Cloud is a fully managed, SQLite-compatible database platform designed for network-accessible applications. This skill provides a centralized resource for developers to connect their applications to Turso Cloud using various language-specific SDKs, manage authentication and authorization, and integrate with platforms like Vercel. It covers both remote-only access and local-first synchronization patterns, alongside advanced database features like vector search, branching, and point-in-time recovery.
What it does
- Provides SDK integration guides for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust.
- Details authentication and authorization workflows, including JWT scoping and external provider integration.
- Explains how to manage Turso Cloud resources within Vercel projects.
- Covers advanced database features including vector search, full-text search, and embedded replicas.
- Outlines database management tasks like branching and point-in-time recovery.
- Offers guidance on using built-in SQLite extensions for enhanced functionality.
When to use it
- When you need to connect a web, mobile, or backend application to a Turso Cloud database.
- When implementing secure access control, such as fine-grained permissions or JWKS-based authentication.
- When deploying applications on Vercel that require a managed SQLite-compatible database.
- When building AI or RAG applications that require native vector search and embedding storage.
- When you need to set up local-first synchronization for offline-capable applications.
Advantages
- Supports multiple popular programming languages with dedicated SDKs.
- Simplifies complex tasks like authentication scoping and Vercel integration.
- Provides clear paths for both remote-only and local-first database architectures.
- Centralizes documentation for advanced features like vector search and branching.
Usage examples
- “How do I connect my Node.js application to a Turso database?”
- The agent provides instructions on using the @tursodatabase/serverless SDK, including setup for remote queries, batches, and transactions.
- “Explain how to set up fine-grained permissions for a Turso database.”
- The agent guides you through creating scoped auth tokens, including read-only access or per-table restrictions.
- “How can I use Turso for vector search in my Python app?”
- The agent explains how to leverage native vector types and distance functions within the Python SDK for AI-driven workflows.
- “I am using Vercel; how do I link my project to a Turso database?”
- The agent details the Vercel Marketplace integration, including environment variable injection and resource management via the Vercel CLI.

Turso Cloud Skills
This skill combines documentation for working with Turso Cloud, the fully managed SQLite-compatible database platform. Pick the relevant sub-skill below.
turso-cloud-js
Work with the @tursodatabase/serverless TypeScript/JavaScript SDK for remote Turso Cloud databases — queries, positional/named parameters, batches, and interactive transactions — plus the local-first sync family (@tursodatabase/sync, -wasm, -react-native). Use when connecting to Turso Cloud from Node.js, serverless/edge functions, browsers, or React Native.
turso-cloud-py
Work with Turso Cloud from Python: pyturso for local-first databases that sync with the cloud, and libsql for remote-only access over the libsql protocol. Use when connecting Python applications to Turso Cloud.
turso-cloud-go
Work with Turso Cloud from Go: tursogo for local-first databases that sync with the cloud, and libsql-client-go for remote-only access over the libsql protocol. Use when connecting Go applications to Turso Cloud.
turso-cloud-rust
Work with Turso Cloud from Rust: the turso crate (sync feature) for local-first databases that sync with the cloud, and the libsql crate for remote-only access over the libsql protocol. Use when connecting Rust applications to Turso Cloud.
turso-cloud-auth
Authenticate and authorize access to Turso Cloud databases: database URLs, platform tokens via the Turso CLI, scoping (group/database/read-only/time-limited), fine-grained per-table permissions, external auth providers via JWKS (Clerk, Auth0), and token invalidation. Use when issuing credentials, restricting what a client can do, or wiring an existing auth provider to Turso.
turso-cloud-vercel
Use and manage Turso Cloud databases provisioned through the Vercel Marketplace (integration slug tursocloud): injected environment variables, inspecting and provisioning resources with the Vercel CLI, region selection, and safety rules for credentials and destructive operations. Use when a Vercel project has — or needs — a Turso database.
Turso Cloud features
Turso Cloud databases support these features out of the box:
Vector search — native similarity search for AI/RAG workflows, no extensions needed. Supports cosine, L2, and L1 distance functions with DiskANN indexing.
Full-text search — keyword search with BM25 ranking via built-in FTS support.
AI & embeddings — native vector types for storing and querying embeddings.
Branching — create isolated copy-on-write database branches for testing/staging.
Point-in-time recovery — restore databases to any previous point in time (retention depends on plan).
Embedded replicas — local replicas that sync with Turso Cloud for fast reads and offline support.
SQLite extensions — JSON, FTS5, R*Tree, SQLean, UUID, regexp.
