Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: tinybird.co.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to official guidelines and best practices for using the Tinybird CLI (tb). It helps users understand how to perform local development, deployments, data operations, and workspace management tasks with the command-line interface. The skill offers structured documentation covering various aspects of the tb tool, ensuring correct usage and efficient workflows.

When to use it

  • When running any tb (Tinybird CLI) command and needing clarification or examples.
  • During local development using Tinybird Local.
  • For building and deploying projects utilizing the Tinybird platform.
  • When performing data operations like appending, replacing, or deleting data within a Tinybird workspace.
  • To manage tokens and secrets securely through the CLI.

Key capabilities

  • Provides documentation for local development with Tinybird Local.
  • Offers guidance on building and deploying projects.
  • Explains how to perform data operations (append, replace, delete).
  • Covers management of tokens and secrets via the CLI.
  • Includes instructions for generating mock data.
  • Details the recommended CLI 4.0 workflow using tb build and tb deploy.

Example prompts

  • "How do I use the Tinybird CLI to append data?"
  • "What is the best practice for deploying a project with the Tinybird CLI?"
  • "Show me the guidelines for managing tokens with the tb CLI."
  • “Explain how tb build targets my development environment.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Always refer to the official documentation within this skill before using any tb command.
  • Use tb <command> --help to verify commands and flags – never invent your own.
  • The CLI 4.0 workflow recommends configuring dev_mode once, then utilizing plain tb build and tb deploy.
