## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Airtable Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Airtable operations through Composio's Airtable toolkit via Rube MCP.

### Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active Airtable connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit airtable
Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

### Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit airtable
If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Airtable auth
Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

### 1. Create and Manage Records

When to use: User wants to create, read, update, or delete records

Tool sequence:

AIRTABLE_LIST_BASES - Discover available bases [Prerequisite]
AIRTABLE_GET_BASE_SCHEMA - Inspect table structure [Prerequisite]
AIRTABLE_LIST_RECORDS - List/filter records [Optional]
AIRTABLE_CREATE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_CREATE_RECORDS - Create records [Optional]
AIRTABLE_UPDATE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_UPDATE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS - Update records [Optional]
AIRTABLE_DELETE_RECORD / AIRTABLE_DELETE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS - Delete records [Optional]

Key parameters:

baseId: Base ID (starts with 'app', e.g., 'appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
tableIdOrName: Table ID (starts with 'tbl') or table name
fields: Object mapping field names to values
recordId: Record ID (starts with 'rec') for updates/deletes
filterByFormula: Airtable formula for filtering
typecast: Set true for automatic type conversion

Pitfalls:

pageSize capped at 100; uses offset pagination; changing filters between pages can skip/duplicate rows
CREATE_RECORDS hard limit of 10 records per request; chunk larger imports
Field names are CASE-SENSITIVE and must match schema exactly
422 UNKNOWN_FIELD_NAME when field names are wrong; 403 for permission issues
INVALID_MULTIPLE_CHOICE_OPTIONS may require typecast=true

### 2. Search and Filter Records

When to use: User wants to find specific records using formulas

Tool sequence:

AIRTABLE_GET_BASE_SCHEMA - Verify field names and types [Prerequisite]
AIRTABLE_LIST_RECORDS - Query with filterByFormula [Required]
AIRTABLE_GET_RECORD - Get full record details [Optional]

Key parameters:

filterByFormula: Airtable formula (e.g., {Status}='Done')
sort: Array of sort objects
fields: Array of field names to return
maxRecords: Max total records across all pages
offset: Pagination cursor from previous response

Pitfalls:

Field names in formulas must be wrapped in {} and match schema exactly
String values must be quoted: {Status}='Active' not {Status}=Active
422 INVALID_FILTER_BY_FORMULA for bad syntax or non-existent fields
Airtable rate limit: ~5 requests/second per base; handle 429 with Retry-After

### 3. Manage Fields and Schema

When to use: User wants to create or modify table fields

Tool sequence:

AIRTABLE_GET_BASE_SCHEMA - Inspect current schema [Prerequisite]
AIRTABLE_CREATE_FIELD - Create a new field [Optional]
AIRTABLE_UPDATE_FIELD - Rename/describe a field [Optional]
AIRTABLE_UPDATE_TABLE - Update table metadata [Optional]

Key parameters:

name: Field name
type: Field type (singleLineText, number, singleSelect, etc.)
options: Type-specific options (choices for select, precision for number)
description: Field description

Pitfalls:

UPDATE_FIELD only changes name/description, NOT type/options; create a replacement field and migrate
Computed fields (formula, rollup, lookup) cannot be created via API
422 when type options are missing or malformed

### 4. Manage Comments

When to use: User wants to view or add comments on records

Tool sequence:

AIRTABLE_LIST_COMMENTS - List comments on a record [Required]

Key parameters:

baseId: Base ID
tableIdOrName: Table identifier
recordId: Record ID (17 chars, starts with 'rec')
pageSize: Comments per page (max 100)

Pitfalls:

Record IDs must be exactly 17 characters starting with 'rec'

### Airtable Formula Syntax

Comparison:

{Status}='Done' - Equals
{Priority}>1 - Greater than
{Name}!='' - Not empty

Functions:

AND({A}='x', {B}='y') - Both conditions
OR({A}='x', {A}='y') - Either condition
FIND('test', {Name})>0 - Contains text
IS_BEFORE({Due Date}, TODAY()) - Date comparison

Escape rules:

Single quotes in values: double them ({Name}='John''s Company')

### Pagination

Set pageSize (max 100)
Check response for offset string
Pass offset to next request unchanged
Keep filters/sorts/view stable between pages

### Known Pitfalls

ID Formats:

Base IDs: appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (17 chars)
Table IDs: tblXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (17 chars)
Record IDs: recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (17 chars)
Field IDs: fldXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (17 chars)

Batch Limits:

CREATE_RECORDS: max 10 per request
UPDATE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS: max 10 per request
DELETE_MULTIPLE_RECORDS: max 10 per request
