Available Skills

Core project skills

Use these for day-to-day Tinybird project work. They are safe defaults to keep enabled.

tinybird-best-practices

Tinybird project guidelines from Tinybird Engineering. Contains 18 rule files covering datasources, pipes, endpoints, SQL, deployments, and testing.

Use when:

• Creating or updating Tinybird resources (.datasource, .pipe, .connection)
• Working with queries, endpoints, or data exploration
• Managing Tinybird deployments, secrets, or tests
• Reviewing or refactoring Tinybird project files

Categories covered:

• Project structure and local development
• Datasource, pipe, and endpoint files
• SQL and query optimization
• Build and deploy workflows
• Testing and secrets management

CLI workflow skills

Use these when operating Tinybird with the CLI (local dev, deployments, data ops) and the datafile (.pipe, .connection, .datasource) format

tinybird-cli-guidelines

Tinybird CLI commands, workflows, and operations. Use when running tb commands, managing local development, deploying, or working with data operations.

Use when:

• Running any tb command
• Local development with Tinybird Local
• Building and deploying projects
• Appending, replacing, or deleting data
• Managing tokens and secrets via CLI
• Generating mock data
• Running tests

TypeScript SDK skills

Use these when working with the @tinybirdco/sdk package and type-safe projects.

tinybird-typescript-sdk-guidelines

Tinybird TypeScript SDK for defining datasources, pipes, and queries with full type inference. Use when working with @tinybirdco/sdk, TypeScript Tinybird projects, or type-safe data ingestion and queries.

Use when:

• Installing or configuring @tinybirdco/sdk
• Defining datasources or pipes in TypeScript
• Creating typed Tinybird clients
• Using type-safe ingestion or queries
• Running tinybird dev/build/deploy commands for TypeScript projects
• Migrating from legacy .datasource/.pipe files to TypeScript

Python SDK skills

Use these when working with the tinybird-sdk package and Python projects.

tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines

Tinybird Python SDK for defining datasources, pipes, and queries in Python. Use when working with tinybird-sdk, Python Tinybird projects, or data ingestion and queries in Python.

Use when:

• Installing or configuring tinybird-sdk
• Defining datasources, pipes, or endpoints in Python
• Creating Tinybird clients in Python
• Using data ingestion or queries in Python
• Running tinybird dev/build/deploy commands for Python projects
• Migrating from legacy .datasource/.pipe files to Python
• Defining connections (Kafka, S3, GCS)
• Creating materialized views, copy pipes, or sink pipes

Usage

Skills are automatically available once installed. The agent will use them when relevant tasks are detected. You can use the agent cli to check, e.g., amp skill list, or directly ask the agent to tell you what skills are available.

Recommended defaults:

• Always enable tinybird-best-practices for general Tinybird project work.
• Add tinybird-cli-guidelines whenever you plan to run tb commands.
• Add tinybird-typescript-sdk-guidelines for TypeScript SDK projects.
• Add tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines for Python SDK projects.

Examples:

• "Create a datasource for user events"
• "Optimize this endpoint for low latency"
• "Set up tests for my endpoints"

Skill Structure

Each skill contains:

• SKILL.md - Instructions for the agent
• rules/ - Individual guidance files
