🧩 One of 5 skills in the tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Tinybird CLI Guidelines

Guidance for using the Tinybird CLI (tb) for local development, deployments, data operations, and workspace management.

When to Apply

  • Running any tb command

  • Choosing a development workflow (local, branch, or cloud)

  • Local development with Tinybird Local

  • Branch development with Tinybird Cloud branches

  • Building and deploying projects

  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines

  • Appending, replacing, or deleting data

  • Managing tokens and secrets via CLI

  • Generating mock data

  • Running tests

Quick Reference

  • CLI 4.0 workflow: configure dev_mode once, then use plain tb build and tb deploy.

  • tb build targets your configured development environment (branch or local) in tinybird.config.json.

  • tb deploy targets Tinybird Cloud production.

  • Use --cloud/--local/--branch only as explicit manual overrides.

  • Use tb info to check CLI context.

  • Use tb endpoint data <pipe> to test endpoints (not tb pipe data).

  • Never invent commands or flags; run tb <command> --help to verify.
