This package provides official Python Database API 2.0-compliant driver for the open
source relational database Firebird®. In addition to the minimal feature set of
the standard Python DB API, this driver also exposes the new (interface-based)
client API introduced in Firebird 3, and number of additional extensions and
enhancements for convenient use of Firebird RDBMS.

## Installation

Requires: Firebird 3+

```console
pip install firebird-driver
```
See [firebird-lib](https://pypi.org/project/firebird-lib/) package for optional extensions
to this driver.

## Agent skill

This repository includes a [skill for coding with firebird-driver](skills/firebird-driver-python/SKILL.md).
Once the skill is published on GitHub, run these commands in a directory where
you want to keep a checkout (Unix-like shell):

```sh
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/python3-driver.git firebird-driver-skill-source
git -C firebird-driver-skill-source sparse-checkout set skills/firebird-driver-python
```

Then copy the skill into the directory for each agent you use:

```sh
# Codex
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -R firebird-driver-skill-source/skills/firebird-driver-python ~/.codex/skills/

# Claude Code
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R firebird-driver-skill-source/skills/firebird-driver-python ~/.claude/skills/

# Gemini CLI
mkdir -p ~/.gemini/skills
cp -R firebird-driver-skill-source/skills/firebird-driver-python ~/.gemini/skills/
```

Run only the copy commands for the agents you use. Each user-level location makes
the skill available across your projects. Codex lists installed skills with
`/skills`; Claude Code can invoke `/firebird-driver-python`; Gemini CLI lists
them with `/skills list` and can reload them with `/skills reload`.
See the [Codex](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/build-skills),
[Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills), and
[Gemini CLI](https://geminicli.com/docs/cli/using-agent-skills/) skill guides.
