What tinybird does

This skill provides coding assistants with guidelines for .pipe, .datasource, and .connection resources. It outlines conventions for schema architecture, test files, and data workflows where workspace files serve as the source of truth.

Queries are restricted to SELECT statements that comply with Tinybird templating rules and parameter parsing. Standard data targets use MergeTree, switching to AggregatingMergeTree for materialized destinations. Pipelines must filter rows early while deferring heavy computations to subsequent nodes.

Workspace orchestration relies on tinybird.config.json, which determines the target through dev_mode settings (local or branch). CLI utilities like tb sql and tb logs execute locally by default. Connecting to remote instances requires passing --cloud or --branch=<branch-name>.

What it helps with

structure data sources and analytical pipes
write templated SELECT queries according to Tinybird syntax
configure materialized views using AggregatingMergeTree
apply deduplication rules and endpoint optimizations

Example prompts for the agent

Generate a .pipe definition that aggregates metrics into an AggregatingMergeTree target
Review my .datasource schema and check if the filtering happens early in the pipe
Set up a deduplication query pattern for incoming event streams
