Turso
Overview
Turso is an edge-hosted SQLite platform built on libSQL, an open-source fork of SQLite. It provides globally distributed databases with embedded replicas for local-first reads, a platform API for programmatic database management, and native vector search. Use Turso for edge-deployed applications needing low-latency reads, per-tenant database isolation, or offline-capable embedded replicas. Avoid when you need a traditional relational database with complex joins across tenants or require PostgreSQL-specific features.
Quick Reference
| Pattern | API / Command | Key Points |
|---|---|---|
| Remote client | createClient({ url, authToken }) |
Connect to Turso cloud database |
| Local file client | createClient({ url: 'file:local.db' }) |
Pure local SQLite via libSQL |
| Embedded replica | createClient({ url, syncUrl, authToken }) |
Local reads, remote sync |
| Manual sync | client.sync() |
Pull latest changes from remote |
| Periodic sync | syncInterval: 60 in client config |
Auto-sync interval in seconds |
| Execute query | client.execute({ sql, args }) |
Positional ? or named $param args |
| Batch operations | client.batch([...statements], mode) |
Atomic multi-statement execution |
| Interactive transaction | client.transaction('write') |
Multi-step logic with commit/rollback |
| Encryption at rest | encryptionKey in client config |
Encrypts local database file |
| Vector insert | vector32('[0.1, 0.2, ...]') |
Store embeddings as F32_BLOB columns |
| Vector search | vector_distance_cos(col, vector32(...)) |
Cosine similarity, ORDER BY distance ASC |
| Vector index | libsql_vector_idx(col, 'type=diskann') |
DiskANN index for efficient nearest-neighbor |
| Create database (CLI) | turso db create <name> |
Provision new database |
| Create database (API) | POST /v1/organizations/{org}/databases |
Programmatic provisioning for multi-tenant |
| Generate token (CLI) | turso db tokens create <name> |
Auth tokens with optional read-only and expiration |
| Drizzle integration | drizzle(createClient({ url, authToken })) |
Use drizzle-orm/libsql driver |
| In-memory database | createClient({ url: ':memory:' }) |
Ephemeral database for testing |
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Correct Pattern |
|---|---|
Using syncUrl without authToken |
Embedded replicas require both syncUrl and authToken |
Forgetting client.sync() before reads |
Call sync() or set syncInterval to keep replica current |
Using vector_distance_cos without a vector index |
Create a libsql_vector_idx index for efficient similarity search |
| Hardcoding auth tokens in source code | Use environment variables for TURSO_DATABASE_URL and TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN |
| Using interactive transactions for simple batches | Use client.batch() for atomic multi-statement operations |
| Not closing transactions on error | Always call transaction.close() in a finally block |
| Creating one database for all tenants | Use multi-database per-tenant isolation for SaaS workloads |
| Passing raw arrays as vector values | Wrap vectors with vector32() SQL function or pass as Float32Array |
Using ORDER BY distance DESC for nearest neighbor |
Cosine distance: smaller is closer, use ORDER BY distance ASC |
Delegation
If the
drizzle-ormskill is available, delegate ORM schema definition, query building, relations, and migration patterns to it.
Otherwise, recommend:pnpm dlx skills add oakoss/agent-skills -s drizzle-orm -a claude-code -yIf the
local-firstskill is available, delegate architecture decisions, sync engine comparisons, and conflict resolution strategies to it.
Otherwise, recommend:pnpm dlx skills add oakoss/agent-skills -s local-first -a claude-code -yIf the
pgliteskill is available, delegate PGlite-specific patterns for comparison with Turso embedded replicas.
- Database provisioning: Use
Taskagent for multi-tenant setup automation - Vector search tuning: Use
Exploreagent to research embedding models and dimensions - Code review: Delegate to
code-revieweragent

How to use this skill
Install turso by running npx skills add oakoss/agent-skills --skill turso in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of turso, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
