At a glance

Stands up a throwaway local MySQL 8.0 backend, applies SQL fixtures and sweeps the Airbyte spec, check, discover and read commands against a source-mysql image.

  • Reproducing a source-mysql bug in a throwaway local environment
  • SKILL.md covers When to use this skill, Prerequisites, Layout and Conventions, plus 5 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls uvx; needs BACKEND_PASSWORD
  • Sweeping spec, check, discover and read against a chosen image tag

What it does

This is a local end-to-end test harness for Airbyte's `source-mysql` connector. The skill keeps the MySQL backend lifecycle scripts, fixtures and config templates, while shared orchestration lives in `airbyte-integrations/db-harness-lib/`. It starts a MySQL 8.0 container named `source-mysql-db-backend`, applies whatever SQL fixtures you give it, and runs the Airbyte protocol commands (spec, check, discover, read) against a chosen published `source-mysql` image through the `airbyte-ops` regression-test command.

Typical uses are reproducing a connector bug locally, running the whole sweep or a single protocol step against any image tag, and proving a fix by comparing a target image with a control image. Local-only mode needs no Cloud admin or secret-manager credentials. Scripts start the backend, apply SQL, reset databases and run the sweep, and defaults such as the root password, the `test_db` database and the output folder under `/tmp/source-mysql-repro` can be overridden with environment variables. Each step writes its config, stdout, stderr and a markdown and HTML report.

When your agent uses it

  • Reproducing a source-mysql bug in a throwaway local environment
  • Sweeping spec, check, discover and read against a chosen image tag
  • Proving a fix by comparing a target image with a control image

Example prompts

  • “Start the local MySQL backend and run the full spec, check, discover and read sweep against the latest source-mysql image.”
  • “Apply fixtures/sql/00-init-base.sql and reproduce the discover failure locally.”
  • “Compare the target image with the control image to prove this fix.”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • uv, which provides the airbyte-ops tool
  • jq
  • A clone of airbytehq/airbyte

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38c668c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uvx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.astral.sh
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BACKEND_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Airbyte source-mysql E2E Tests loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 977 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 977 words (~2,582 tokens).
