Zilliz Cloud CLI Skill

A skill that teaches AI agents how to operate Zilliz Cloud and Milvus vector databases through zilliz-cli. Instead of memorizing CLI commands, just describe what you want:

• "Create a serverless cluster in us-east-1 and set up a collection with 768-dimension vectors"
• "Search for similar items in my product collection with filter age > 20"
• "Show me the status of all my clusters and collections"
• "Set up a daily backup policy for my production cluster with 7-day retention"
• "Create a role with read-only access to the analytics collection"
• "Import data from S3 into my embeddings collection"
• "Check the status of my import job"
• "Show me this month's usage and invoices"
