tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines — Claude Code skill: setup guide
Teaches coding assistants how to model Tinybird data resources using the tinybird-sdk package in Python. Useful when building pipes and ingestion jobs.
npx skills add tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills --skill tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines -a claude-codeWhat tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines does
This skill guides agents through structuring analytics workloads via the tinybird-sdk Python package. It covers setting up data sources and API endpoints directly in code instead of maintaining legacy .datasource and .pipe files.
The guidelines explain client setup, materialized views, and connections to Kafka or Amazon S3. They also outline CLI routines for branch testing via tinybird dev alongside production releases with tinybird deploy.
All generated credentials belong strictly on backend servers. Never expose credentials in browser code.
What it helps with
- define Tinybird datasources and analytical endpoints in Python
- convert vintage
.datasourceand.pipeassets into Python modules - connect streaming ingestion from Kafka or cloud storage buckets in S3
- configure CI preview checks and production deployments with the Tinybird CLI
Example prompts for the agent
- Convert the legacy
events.pipefile into Python code using thetinybird-sdk. - Create a materialized view connected to an S3 datasource in Python.
- Set up a deployment workflow running
tinybird previewbefore going to production.
