## What it does

This skill equips coding assistants with operations for Pipefy Database Tables. It handles table creation, column modifications via `create_table_field`, and schema queries. When searching rows, it favors `find_records` over paginating through 50-item batches in `get_table_records`.

Updating records follows a strict split. Core properties like `title`, `due_date`, or `status_id` update through `update_table_record`. Custom column values require separate calls to `set_table_record_field_value`. Passing arbitrary field keys directly to `update_table_record` fails because the operation rejects unknown keys.

Safety checks are built into deletions. Before running `delete_table_field`, the assistant must warn that all column data will disappear permanently. Empty fields are omitted from record reads, making `get_table` necessary to view the full schema.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-database-tables -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/pipefy-database-tables/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/pipefy-database-tables/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-database-tables -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/pipefy-database-tables/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-database-tables -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/pipefy-database-tables/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pipefy/ai-toolkit pipefy-database-tables
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/pipefy-database-tables/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-database-tables -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pipefy/ai-toolkit --path plugins/pipefy/skills/pipefy-database-tables
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/pipefy-database-tables/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-database-tables -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/pipefy/ai-toolkit/tree/HEAD/plugins/pipefy/skills/pipefy-database-tables/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- search records in a Pipefy table by field value
- add or update schema columns with `create_table_field`
- update record metadata such as title or due date
- inspect full table schemas when fields return empty

## Example prompts
- Find the record with email `user@example.com` in table 456 and change its status to Active.
- Add a new field to the Customers table schema.
- List all tables matching the name Orders.

# Database Tables

MCP clients: read [references/mcp.md](references/mcp.md). CLI users: read [references/cli.md](references/cli.md). Examples below describe shared operation arguments.

Tables, records (rows), schema columns (table fields), and attachments for Pipefy Database Tables.

## Cross-cutting patterns

- Use `introspect_type` on inputs such as `CreateTableFieldInput` / `UpdateTableFieldInput`.
- **Pagination:** `get_table_records` and `find_records` support `first` / `after`; default page size is 50.
- **`find_records` over paginated `get_table_records`** when you know the field value. One call with `field_id` and `field_value` beats N pages of `get_table_records`.

## Table operations

| Operation | Read-only | Purpose |
| ------------ | ----------- | --------- |
| `get_tables` | Yes | Load database tables by their IDs. |
| `search_tables` | Yes | Search tables by name. |
| `get_table` | Yes | Table metadata and field schema. |
| `create_table` | No | Create a new database table. |
| `update_table` | No | Rename or change settings. |
| `delete_table` | No | **Destructive; review and approve first.** |

---

## Table field (schema column) operations

| Operation | Purpose |
| ------------ | --------- |
| `create_table_field` | Add a column to a table schema. |
| `update_table_field` | Rename or change column description, required status, or options. |
| `delete_table_field` | **Destructive; review and approve first.** Requires `table_id`. |

---

## Record operations

| Operation | Read-only | Purpose |
| ------------ | ----------- | --------- |
| `get_table_records` | Yes | Paginated list of all records in a table. |
| `find_records` | Yes | Filter records by `field_id` and `field_value` — preferred over paginating `get_table_records`. |
| `get_table_record` | Yes | Single record with all populated field values. |
| `create_table_record` | No | Add a row to a table. |
| `update_table_record` | No | Update a row's `title`, `due_date` or `status_id`. It accepts no other keys. |
| `set_table_record_field_value` | No | Set one field value on a row. Use it for every table field. |
| `delete_table_record` | No | **Destructive; review and approve first.** |

## Steps — find and update a record

1. **Get table ID** (if not known):

   Operation: `search_tables(table_name="Customers")` and select the table ID from the results.

2. **Find the record** (use `find_records`, not pagination):

   Operation: `find_records(table_id=456, field_id="email", field_value="user@example.com")`
```
