What this skill does
Tinybird Best Practices Guidance for Tinybird file formats, SQL rules, optimization patterns, and data modeling. Use this skill when creating or editing Tinybird datafiles. When to Apply Creating or updating Tinybird resources (.datasource, .pipe, .connection) Writing or optimizing SQL queries Designing endpoint schemas and data models Organizing project structure and data layers Working with materialized views or copy pipes Implementing deduplication patterns Reviewing or refactoring Tinybird project files Rule Files rules/project-files.md rules/build-deploy.md rules/datasource-files.md rules/pipe-files.md rules/endpoint-files.md rules/materialized-files.md rules/materialized-join-prefilter.md rules/sink-files.md rules/copy-files.md rules/connection-files.md rules/sql.md rules/endpoint-optimization.md rules/tests.md rules/deduplication-patterns.md Quick Reference Project local files are the source of truth. Build target comes from tinybird.config.json devmode (local or branch). tb deploy targets Tinybird Cloud production. Commands like tb sql and tb logs default to local unless --cloud or --branch=<branch-name> is set. SQL is SELECT-only with Tinybird templating rules and strict parameter handling. Use MergeTree by default; AggregatingMergeTree for materialized targets. Filter early, select only needed columns, push complex work later in the pipeline.
