Individual skill
chroma
Open-source embedding database for AI applications. Store embeddings and metadata, perform vector and full-text search, filter by metadata. Simple 4-function API. Scales from notebooks to production clusters. Use for semantic search, RAG applications, or document retrieval. Best for local development and open-source projects.

# Chroma - Open-Source Embedding Database
The AI-native database for building LLM applications with memory.
## When to use Chroma
**Use Chroma when:**
- Building RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) applications
- Need local/self-hosted vector database
- Want open-source solution (Apache 2.0)
- Prototyping in notebooks
- Semantic search over documents
- Storing embeddings with metadata
