Instant DB

Real-time database integration with InstantDB. Use this skill when working with InstantDB apps to perform admin operations (create/update/delete entities, link/unlink relationships, query data) and subscribe to real-time data changes. Triggers include mentions of InstantDB, real-time updates, database sync, entity operations, or when OpenClaw needs to send action updates visible to humans in real-time.

Validation

  • Use the Yavira download entry.
  • Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.
  • Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets.

Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Overview

Node.js integration for InstantDB enabling OpenClaw to perform admin operations and monitor real-time data changes via WebSocket subscriptions.

Setup

Install dependencies: npm install Set environment variables: export INSTANTDB_APP_ID="your-app-id" export INSTANTDB_ADMIN_TOKEN="your-admin-token"

1. Query Data

Fetch data using InstantDB's query syntax: const { InstantDBClient } = require('./scripts/instantdb.js'); const client = new InstantDBClient(appId, adminToken); const result = await client.query({ tasks: { $: { where: { status: 'active' } } } }); CLI: ./scripts/instantdb.js query '{"tasks": {}}'

2. Create Entities

Add new entities to a namespace: const { entityId, result } = await client.createEntity('tasks', { title: 'Process data', status: 'pending', priority: 'high' }); CLI: ./scripts/instantdb.js create tasks '{"title": "Process data", "status": "pending"}' Optional entity ID: ./scripts/instantdb.js create tasks '{"title": "Task"}' custom-entity-id

3. Update Entities

Modify existing entity attributes: await client.updateEntity(entityId, 'tasks', { status: 'completed' }); CLI: ./scripts/instantdb.js update <entity-id> tasks '{"status": "completed"}'

4. Delete Entities

Remove entities: await client.deleteEntity(entityId, 'tasks'); CLI: ./scripts/instantdb.js delete <entity-id> tasks

5. Link Entities

Create relationships between entities: await client.linkEntities(taskId, assigneeId, 'assignees'); CLI: ./scripts/instantdb.js link <parent-id> <child-id> assignees

6. Unlink Entities

Remove relationships: await client.unlinkEntities(taskId, assigneeId, 'assignees'); CLI: ./scripts/instantdb.js unlink <parent-id> <child-id> assignees

7. Real-time Subscriptions

Monitor data changes via WebSocket: const subscriptionId = client.subscribe( { tasks: { $: { where: { status: 'active' } } } }, (data) => { console.log('Data updated:', data); }, (error) => { console.error('Subscription error:', error); } ); // Later: client.unsubscribe(subscriptionId); CLI (listens for specified duration): ./scripts/instantdb.js subscribe '{"tasks": {}}' 60 # Listen for 60 seconds

8. Transactions

Execute multiple operations atomically using the tx builder: const { tx, id } = require('@instantdb/admin'); await client.transact([ tx.tasks[id()].update({ title: 'Task 1' }), tx.tasks[id()].update({ title: 'Task 2' }) ]); CLI: ./scripts/instantdb.js transact '[{"op": "update", "id": "...", "data": {...}}]'

Action Status Updates

Send real-time progress to human observers: const { id } = require('@instantdb/admin'); // Create status entity const actionId = id(); await client.createEntity('actions', { type: 'file_processing', status: 'started', progress: 0, timestamp: Date.now() }, actionId); // Update progress await client.updateEntity(actionId, 'actions', { progress: 50, status: 'processing' }); // Mark complete await client.updateEntity(actionId, 'actions', { progress: 100, status: 'completed' });

Multi-step Workflow Tracking

Track complex operations: const { tx, id } = require('@instantdb/admin'); const workflowId = id(); const steps = ['Extract', 'Transform', 'Validate', 'Load', 'Verify']; // Initialize workflow with linked steps const txs = [ tx.workflows[workflowId].update({ name: 'Data Pipeline', status: 'running', currentStep: 1, totalSteps: steps.length }) ]; const stepIds = steps.map((name, i) => { const stepId = id(); txs.push( tx.steps[stepId].update({ name, order: i + 1, status: 'pending' }), tx.workflows[workflowId].link({ steps: stepId }) ); return stepId; }); await client.transact(txs); // Update as steps complete for (let i = 0; i < stepIds.length; i++) { await client.updateEntity(stepIds[i], 'steps', { status: 'completed' }); await client.updateEntity(workflowId, 'workflows', { currentStep: i + 2 }); }

Human Monitoring Pattern

Humans subscribe to watch OpenClaw's actions: // Human's frontend code import { init } from '@instantdb/react'; const db = init({ appId }); function ActionMonitor() { const { data } = db.useQuery({ actions: { $: { where: { status: { in: ['started', 'processing'] } } } } }); return data?.actions?.map(action => ( <div key={action.id}> {action.type}: {action.progress}% </div> )); }

Streaming Progress Updates

For long-running operations, stream updates: const { id } = require('@instantdb/admin'); async function processLargeDataset(items) { const progressId = id(); await client.createEntity('progress', { total: items.length, completed: 0, status: 'running' }, progressId); for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) { // Process item... await processItem(items[i]); // Update every 10 items if (i % 10 === 0) { await client.updateEntity(progressId, 'progress', { completed: i + 1, percentage: Math.round(((i + 1) / items.length) * 100) }); } } await client.updateEntity(progressId, 'progress', { completed: items.length, percentage: 100, status: 'completed' }); }

Transaction Patterns

See references/transactions.md for detailed transaction patterns including: Batch operations Relationship management Conditional updates State machines Cascade operations

Error Handling

All operations return promises that reject on failure: try { const result = await client.createEntity('tasks', data); } catch (error) { console.error('Operation failed:', error.message); }

Query Syntax

See references/query_syntax.md for comprehensive query examples including: Where clauses and operators Relationship traversal Sorting and pagination Multi-level nesting
