# Tinybird Agent Skills

We've open-sourced [Tinybird Agent Skills](https://github.com/tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills), a collection of packaged instructions that enable AI coding agents to work with Tinybird projects.

{% image src="/assets/changelog/tinybird-agent-skills.jpg" alt="Tinybird Agent Skills installation showing support for Amp, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode" /%}

Skills follow the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) open standard and work with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Amp, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and many others. The `tinybird-best-practices` skill includes rule files covering Data Sources, Pipes, Endpoints, SQL optimization, deployments, and testing. Everything your coding agent needs to build real-time analytics on Tinybird.

Install with:

```shell {% title="Install Tinybird Agent Skills" %}
npx skills add tinybirdco/tinybird-agent-skills
```

This is the same knowledge that powers Tinybird Code. Now available for all agents.

## Cancel queries in Time Series (Classic)

You can now cancel running queries in the Time Series visualization. When you navigate away or start a new query, the previous request is canceled instead of continuing in the background.

## Bug fixes and improvements

- [All]: The Workspace name now correctly appears in the shared-with tooltip, even when that Workspace isn't in your accessible list.
- [All]: Fixed an issue where TTL validation would incorrectly flag valid configurations.
- [All]: The SQL query size limit has been increased to 128KB (up from 8KB), and validation is now consistent across all API paths.
- [All]: Fixed `CREATE VIEW` generation for [DataHub](https://datahubproject.io/) lineage compatibility.
- [Classic]: Improved error messages for Copy Pipe timeout errors.

## Breaking changes

- **The Tinybird CLI v3.0.0 now requires Python 3.10 or higher.** Python 3.9 is no longer supported. Upgrade Python before updating to [tinybird 3.0.0](https://pypi.org/project/tinybird/).
- **Support for Join Tables has been removed.** [We made JOINs 100x faster in ClickHouse®](https://www.tinybird.co/blog/clickhouse-joins-improvements), so Join Tables no longer provide a benefit. Migrate to standard MergeTree tables with regular JOIN queries.
- **The deprecated CDK-based Snowflake and BigQuery connectors have been removed.** Use [S3](/forward/ingest-data/connectors/s3) or [GCS](/forward/ingest-data/connectors/gcs) connectors instead.
