What this skill does

# NocoDB — Open-Source Airtable Alternative

## Overview

You are an expert in NocoDB, the open-source platform that turns any database into a smart spreadsheet interface with REST API. You help teams set up NocoDB on existing PostgreSQL/MySQL databases, build views (grid, kanban, gallery, form), create automations, and use the auto-generated API for integrations.

## Instructions

### Deployment

```bash
# Docker (connects to existing database)
docker run -d --name nocodb \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -e NC_DB="pg://host:5432?u=user&p=pass&d=mydb" \
  nocodb/nocodb:latest

# Docker Compose with built-in SQLite
docker compose up -d
# UI at http://localhost:8080

# Connect to existing database:
# NocoDB reads your existing tables and creates spreadsheet views.
# No data migration needed — it's a UI layer on your database.
```

### Views

```markdown
## View Types

### Grid View (spreadsheet)
- Sort, filter, group, hide columns
- Inline editing with validation
- Expand row for detail view
- Import/export CSV

### Kanban View
- Drag-and-drop cards between columns
- Group by any single-select or status field
- Stack by: status, priority, assignee, category

### Gallery View
- Card layout with cover image
- Ideal for: product catalogs, team directory, portfolio

### Form View
- Auto-generated forms from table schema
- Share via public URL (no NocoDB account needed)
- Conditional field visibility
- Custom submit message and redirect

### Calendar View
- Events from date fields
- Drag to reschedule
- Day/week/month views
```

### Auto-Generated REST API

```bash
# NocoDB auto-generates REST APIs for every table
# List records
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/db/data/noco/project/table" \
  -H "xc-auth: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN"

# Create record
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/db/data/noco/project/table" \
  -H "xc-auth: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"Name": "New Item", "Status": "Active", "Priority": "High"}'

# Filter and sort
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/db/data/noco/project/table?where=(Status,eq,Active)&sort=-CreatedAt&limit=20"
```

### Automations

```markdown
## Webhooks and Automations

### Webhook triggers:
- After record insert
- After record update
- After record delete
- After bulk insert

### Use cases:
- New row → Send Slack notification
- Status changed to "Done" → Send email via SendGrid
- New form submission → Create Jira ticket
- Record deleted → Log to audit table
```

## Examples

**Example 1: User asks to set up nocodb**

User: "Help me set up nocodb for my project"

The agent should:
1. Check system requirements and prerequisites
2. Install or configure nocodb
3. Set up initial project structure
4. Verify the setup works correctly

**Example 2: User asks to build a feature with nocodb**

User: "Create a dashboard using nocodb"

The agent should:
1. Scaffold the component or configuration
2. Connect to the appropriate data source
3. Implement the requested feature
4. Test and validate the output

## Guidelines

1. **Layer on existing DB** — Don't migrate data; point NocoDB at your existing PostgreSQL/MySQL and get instant spreadsheet views
2. **Form views for data collection** — Share public form URLs for intake (support tickets, feedback, applications); data goes straight to your DB
3. **API for integrations** — Use the auto-generated REST API to connect NocoDB data to your application code
4. **Kanban for workflows** — Use kanban view for any status-based process (support tickets, hiring pipeline, content calendar)
5. **Roles for access control** — Set viewer/editor/creator roles per table; share specific views without exposing the full database
6. **Webhooks for automation** — Trigger external workflows on data changes; no polling needed
7. **Self-host for compliance** — NocoDB runs on your infrastructure; data never leaves your network
8. **Lookup and rollup fields** — Use linked records, lookups, and rollups for relational data without writing SQL joins

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
