General-purpose Coda document manager via REST API v1. Supports listing/creating/updating/deleting docs, managing tables/rows/pages, triggering automations, and exploring doc structure. Requires CODA_API_TOKEN environment variable. Delete operations require explicit confirmation; publishing and permission changes require explicit user intent.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
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.
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.
Interact with the Coda REST API v1 to manage docs, tables, rows, pages, and automations.
Use this skill when the user wants to: List, search, create, or delete Coda docs Read from or write to tables (insert, upsert, update, delete rows) Explore doc structure (pages, tables, columns, formulas, controls) Trigger automations (push buttons) Export doc content or analytics
Do NOT use for general document editing advice unrelated to the API Do NOT use for Pack development (this skill covers Doc management, not Pack creation) Do NOT use for operations requiring Doc Maker permissions unless confirmed the user has them
API Token: Set environment variable CODA_API_TOKEN with your Coda API token Get token at: https://coda.io/account -> API Settings Python 3.7+ with requests library installed Permissions: Some operations (create doc, update doc title, create page) require Doc Maker role in the workspace
The skill includes a Python CLI tool at scripts/coda_cli.py: # Setup export CODA_API_TOKEN="your_token_here" # List docs python scripts/coda_cli.py docs list --query "Project" # Get doc info python scripts/coda_cli.py docs get <doc-id> # Create doc python scripts/coda_cli.py docs create --title "My New Doc" # List tables in doc python scripts/coda_cli.py tables list <doc-id> # List rows in table python scripts/coda_cli.py rows list <doc-id> <table-id> # Insert row python scripts/coda_cli.py rows insert <doc-id> <table-id> --data '{"Name": "Task 1", "Status": "Done"}' # Update row python scripts/coda_cli.py rows update <doc-id> <table-id> <row-id> --data '{"Status": "In Progress"}' # Delete row (requires confirmation) python scripts/coda_cli.py rows delete <doc-id> <table-id> <row-id> # List pages python scripts/coda_cli.py pages list <doc-id> # Trigger automation (push button) python scripts/coda_cli.py automations trigger <doc-id> <button-id> # Force delete without confirmation (use with caution) python scripts/coda_cli.py docs delete <doc-id> --force
Coda doc IDs can be extracted from browser URLs: URL: https://coda.io/d/_dAbCDeFGH/Project-Tracker Doc ID: AbCDeFGH (remove _d prefix) The CLI tool accepts both full URLs and raw IDs.
The API has strict rate limits: Read: 100 requests per 6 seconds Write (POST/PUT/PATCH): 10 requests per 6 seconds Write doc content: 5 requests per 10 seconds List docs: 4 requests per 6 seconds The CLI tool automatically implements exponential backoff for 429 responses.
Write operations return HTTP 202 with a requestId. The CLI tool optionally polls for completion using --wait flag.
Delete Operations (rows, docs, pages, folders): Always requires explicit user confirmation in interactive mode Use --force flag only in automation/scripts Shows preview of what will be deleted Publishing (docs publish): Requires explicit --confirm-publish flag Cannot be combined with --force Permissions (acl commands): Requires explicit --confirm-permissions flag for any changes Read operations (list permissions) are always allowed Automation Triggers: Allowed without special flags but logged User should be aware that automations may trigger notifications or external actions
List commands support: --limit: Maximum results (default 25, max varies by endpoint) --page-token: For fetching subsequent pages CLI auto-follows pages with --all flag
# Insert multiple rows from JSON file python scripts/coda_cli.py rows insert-batch <doc-id> <table-id> --file rows.json # Upsert rows (update if exists, insert if not) using key columns python scripts/coda_cli.py rows upsert <doc-id> <table-id> --file rows.json --keys "Email"
# Export from source python scripts/coda_cli.py rows list <source-doc> <table-id> --format json > export.json # Import to destination python scripts/coda_cli.py rows insert-batch <dest-doc> <table-id> --file export.json
# Get full doc structure python scripts/coda_cli.py docs structure <doc-id> # List all formulas python scripts/coda_cli.py formulas list <doc-id> # List all controls python scripts/coda_cli.py controls list <doc-id>
Common HTTP status codes: 400: Bad request (invalid parameters) 401: Invalid/expired API token 403: Insufficient permissions (need Doc Maker role) 404: Resource not found 429: Rate limited (implement backoff) 202: Accepted but not yet processed (async operation)
Token Storage: Never commit CODA_API_TOKEN to version control Token Scope: The token has full access to all docs the user can access Workspace Restrictions: Creating docs requires Doc Maker role in target workspace Data Exposure: Row data may contain sensitive information; handle exports carefully
python scripts/coda_cli.py docs list --is-owner --query "Project"
python scripts/coda_cli.py docs create --title "Q4 Planning" --source-doc "template-doc-id"
