Drive a Metabase instance from the terminal via the `mb` CLI. Authenticate with named profiles; inspect databases (list, get, full metadata rollup, schemas, tables in a schema) and trigger manual schema sync / field-values rescan; inspect tables, fields; list/get/create/update/archive cards (questions, models, metrics) and run them as JSON/CSV/XLSX; list/get/create/update dashboards and patch dashcards; list/get/create collections and traverse the hierarchy by id, entity_id, or "root"/"trash" (with items and recursive tree); list/get/create/update/archive native query snippets, segments, and measures; author/update/run transforms and schedule transform-jobs; read/update settings; search content (cards, dashboards, collections, transforms, metrics); manage Enterprise workspaces; git-sync to/from a git remote (status, dirty, import, export, branches, stash, add/remove a collection from sync). Use whenever the user wants to interact with a Metabase from the terminal — "log into metabase", "what profiles do I have", "list cards", "run card 42 as CSV", "create a transform", "list dashboards", "move a dashcard", "list collections", "what's in collection 4", "show the collection tree", "list snippets", "create a segment", "archive a measure", "search metabase for X", "spin up a workspace", "import the latest changes", "add a directory to git sync", "set a setting", "what schemas are in this database", "trigger a sync", "rescan field values", or anything hitting `mb <verb>`.

metabase-cli
Load the workflow content from the CLI:
mb skills get core # start here — auth, flag conventions, every command group
mb skills list # enumerate specialized skills bundled with this CLI version
mb skills get <name> # load a specialized skill (workspace, transform, git-sync, …)
Don't drive Metabase by curling /api/... directly — the CLI handles auth profiles, retries, schema validation, and credential redaction.

metabase/metabase-semantic-checker
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Runs the Metabase semantic checker against a tree of Representation Format YAML files to verify that all references resolve — cross-entity references (collection_id, dashboard_id, parent_id, parameter source cards, snippet references, transform tags, etc.) and references to columns inside MBQL and native queries. Slow (≥1 min per run). Only use when the user explicitly asks to verify entity references or column references in MBQL/SQL queries; in most cases this runs as a CI step, not locally. Requires database metadata on disk (by default `.metadata/table_metadata.json`).

metabase/metabase-database-metadata
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Understands the Metabase Database Metadata Format — a YAML-based on-disk representation of databases, tables, and fields synced from a Metabase instance. Use when the user needs to read, edit, or understand metadata files produced by `@metabase/database-metadata`, or when reasoning about a project's schema (columns, types, FK relationships) through the `.metadata/databases` folder.

metabase/metabase-representation-format
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Understands the Metabase Representation Format — a YAML-based serialization format for Metabase content (collections, cards, dashboards, documents, segments, measures, snippets, transforms). Use when the user needs to create, edit, understand, or validate Metabase representation YAML files, or when working with Metabase serialization/deserialization (serdes). Covers entity schemas, MBQL and native queries, visualization settings, parameters, and folder structure.

development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Migrates a project from Metabase static embedding to guest embeds (web components via embed.js). Use when the user wants to migrate/convert/switch/upgrade from static embedding to guest embeds, from signed embed iframes to web components, or replace /embed/ iframes with metabase-dashboard/metabase-question components.
