How do I install the Spacetimedb CLI skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add danmossa/spacetimedb-cli in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Spacetimedb CLI safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Spacetimedb CLI?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Spacetimedb CLI free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free. This skill is licensed under MIT.

Spacetimedb CLI

Use when running or explaining SpacetimeDB CLI commands and standalone configuration. Covers `spacetime init`, `build`, `publish`, `generate`, `call`, `sql`, `logs`, `describe`, `dev`, `server`, `start`, login/logout, and `config.toml`. Triggers on: spacetime CLI, spacetime publish, spacetime generate, spacetime sql, spacetime logs, spacetime server.

Use this skill for spacetime command-line workflows.

Core patterns

Local iteration usually starts with spacetime dev; use --template, --client-lang, --module-path, and --module-bindings-path when the project layout is not the default.
Module lifecycle commands are spacetime init, spacetime build, spacetime publish, and spacetime generate.
Runtime/debug commands are spacetime call [DATABASE] <FUNCTION> [ARGS...], spacetime sql [DATABASE] "<QUERY>", spacetime logs [DATABASE], and spacetime describe --json [DATABASE].
spacetime generate supports --lang csharp|typescript|rust|unrealcpp, --out-dir, --module-path, and --include-private.
spacetime publish [name|identity] builds by default. Use --server for non-default hosts and read migration guidance before --break-clients or --delete-data.
Database names are lowercase ASCII words separated by hyphens.

Common command shapes

spacetime dev --template basic-ts
spacetime build --module-path spacetimedb
spacetime publish my-database
spacetime generate --lang typescript --out-dir client/src/module_bindings --module-path spacetimedb
spacetime call my-database add Alice
spacetime sql my-database "SELECT * FROM person"
spacetime logs my-database --follow --level info

Reference map

Standalone server config	references/cli-reference-standalone-config.md

Guidance

Prefer exact CLI flags from the reference when writing final commands for uncommon options.
Keep spacetime generate language, output directory, and module/database name aligned with the client SDK being used.
Route publishing and migration behavior to spacetimedb-databases when schema changes matter.
