agent-skills

A spaced repetition learning coach for Metabase. Use this skill whenever the user wants to: learn Metabase, start a Metabase training session, do a Metabase review, practice Metabase concepts, check what they should study today, get quizzed on Metabase, run through active recall on BI tools, or follow a structured learning program for data analytics software. Trigger this skill even if the user just says "let's do my Metabase session", "quiz me on Metabase", or "what should I study today?" in a Metabase learning context.

Drive a Metabase instance from the terminal via the `mb` CLI. Authenticate with named profiles; inspect databases (list, get, full metadata rollup, schemas, tables in a schema) and trigger manual schema sync / field-values rescan; inspect tables, fields; list/get/create/update/archive cards (questions, models, metrics) and run them as JSON/CSV/XLSX; list/get/create/update dashboards and patch dashcards; list/get/create collections and traverse the hierarchy by id, entity_id, or "root"/"trash" (with items and recursive tree); list/get/create/update/archive native query snippets, segments, and measures; author/update/run transforms and schedule transform-jobs; read/update settings; search content (cards, dashboards, collections, transforms, metrics); manage Enterprise workspaces; git-sync to/from a git remote (status, dirty, import, export, branches, stash, add/remove a collection from sync). Use whenever the user wants to interact with a Metabase from the terminal — "log into metabase", "what profiles do I hav

Understands the Metabase Database Metadata Format — a YAML-based on-disk representation of databases, tables, and fields synced from a Metabase instance. Use when the user needs to read, edit, or understand metadata files produced by `@metabase/database-metadata`, or when reasoning about a project's schema (columns, types, FK relationships) through the `.metadata/databases` folder.

Runs the Metabase semantic checker against a tree of Representation Format YAML files to verify that all references resolve — cross-entity references (collection_id, dashboard_id, parent_id, parameter source cards, snippet references, transform tags, etc.) and references to columns inside MBQL and native queries. Slow (≥1 min per run). Only use when the user explicitly asks to verify entity references or column references in MBQL/SQL queries; in most cases this runs as a CI step, not locally. Requires database metadata on disk (by default `.metadata/table_metadata.json`).

Understands the Metabase Representation Format — a YAML-based serialization format for Metabase content (collections, cards, dashboards, documents, segments, measures, snippets, transforms). Use when the user needs to create, edit, understand, or validate Metabase representation YAML files, or when working with Metabase serialization/deserialization (serdes). Covers entity schemas, MBQL and native queries, visualization settings, parameters, and folder structure.

Implements JWT SSO authentication for Metabase embedding in a project. Supports all embedding types that use SSO — Modular embedding (embed.js web components), Modular embedding SDK (@metabase/embedding-sdk-react), and Full app embedding (iframe-based). Creates the JWT signing endpoint, configures the frontend auth layer, and sets up group mappings. Use when the user wants to add SSO/JWT auth to their Metabase embedding, implement user identity for embedded analytics, set up JWT authentication for Metabase, or connect their app's authentication to Metabase embedding.

Migrates a project from Metabase Full App / Interactive (iframe-based) embedding to Modular (web-component-based) embedding. Use when the user wants to replace Metabase iframes with Modular embedding web components.

Migrates a React project from Metabase Modular embedding (embed.js web components) to the Modular embedding SDK (@metabase/embedding-sdk-react). Use when the user wants to switch from embed.js web components to React SDK components (MetabaseProvider). This is not a version upgrade — it changes the embedding technology.

Upgrades a project's Metabase Modular embedding SDK (@metabase/embedding-sdk-react) or Modular embedding (embed.js) version. Use when the user wants to upgrade their Metabase modular embedding integration to a newer version.

Migrates a project from Metabase static embedding to guest embeds (web components via embed.js). Use when the user wants to migrate/convert/switch/upgrade from static embedding to guest embeds, from signed embed iframes to web components, or replace /embed/ iframes with metabase-dashboard/metabase-question components.

First-time setup for the Metabase React SDK — instance detection, API key, dashboard discovery, JWT auth, SDK installation, and initial embedding code.
