## What datatug does, in the publisher's words

AI plugin for DataTug: skills that teach AI agents how to use the datatug CLI for data exploration, dataset management, schema scanning, and query execution.

This repository contains the plugin source. It is installed on top of the datatug CLI; the CLI is a prerequisite.

## Skills

- datatug-datasets: List, define, and read datasets in a DataTug project. Covers `datatug datasets`, `datatug dataset-def`, and `datatug dataset-data`. Use to enumerate datasets, inspect a definition, or print recordset data.
- datatug-init: Create a new DataTug project: scaffolds the project file layout at a specified path. Use when starting a new data exploration project.
- datatug-install: Show install instructions for the datatug CLI. Use when `datatug` is not on PATH, when another skill reports `command not found: datatug`, or when the user asks how to install, reinstall, or update the CLI.
- datatug-projects: List and manage DataTug projects registered on this machine. Use to discover what projects exist, add a new one, or remove a stale entry.
- datatug-queries: List and run saved queries in a DataTug project. Use to discover available queries or execute a parametrised query for ad-hoc investigation.
- datatug-query-builder: Build and progressively refine a read-only DataTug query by conversation, driving the datatug serve query-builder over MCP. The query and results show live in the DataTug Web UI; you (the agent) never write SQL by hand. Use when the user wants to build, refine, or explore a query against a DataTug…
- datatug-scan: Add or update database metadata in a DataTug project by scanning a configured data source. Use after adding a new database connection, or to refresh schema metadata after upstream changes.
- datatug-serve: Start the DataTug HTTP server: exposes a REST API the DataTug Web UI consumes. Use during local development or to run a shared DataTug instance for a team.
- datatug-validate: Run validation scripts on a DataTug project, verify metadata, queries, and pipelines are well-formed. Use as a CI gate or before committing changes.
