SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing Coda documents, tables, and publishing manually is error-prone and repetitive, especially when resolving URLs to API IDs, mapping columns, and performing bulk updates or exports. This Skill centralizes guidance and tool sequencing to reliably search, resolve, read, write, export, and publish Coda content via Rube MCP so users can automate routine document and data operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document discovery & resolution: Search docs, list available docs, and convert browser URLs to API doc/page/table IDs for reliable targeting.
  • Table and row management: List tables and columns, list and search rows, and perform upsert operations with key column matching for bulk updates.
  • Exports, formulas, and permissions: Begin and poll exports to HTML/Markdown, list and evaluate named formulas, and view or grant document permissions and publishing settings.
  • Use Case: Bulk-upsert task rows from a CSV into a project doc, resolve ambiguous page links with URL resolution, then publish the doc and add a custom slug.

Quick Start

Use the coda-automation skill to add a new row to the tasks table in my Coda project document.
