## What it 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`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills --skill tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills --skill tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills --skill tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills --skill tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills --path skills/tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills --skill tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines -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/tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/tinybird-python-sdk-guidelines/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- define Tinybird datasources and analytical endpoints in Python
- convert vintage `.datasource` and `.pipe` assets 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
- Convert the legacy `events.pipe` file into Python code using the `tinybird-sdk`.
- Create a materialized view connected to an S3 datasource in Python.
- Set up a deployment workflow running `tinybird preview` before going to production.
