+- Bundle get-softr-database CLI script for schema export; document in SKILL.md, softr-database.md, fields.md
+- Bump publish workflow to Node 24-based action majors — actions/checkout@v4 -> @v6, actions/setup-node@v4 -> @v6 (clears the Node 20 deprecation; GitHub forces Node 20 actions to Node 24 on 2026-06-16). No version bump, so this run skips publish.

 - Expand references/native-chrome-styling.md to the full native shell — add Footer (semantic <footer> target + 160px/overflow-wrap contact-column email-wrap fix), floating "island" header/footer treatment, and Page background (Softr stacks the same fill on html/body/#page-content/inner-wrapper, so paint on html + clear the stack, EXCLUDING the .softr-topbar subtree so the dropdown panel survives) + a Console background-finder snippet; broaden SKILL.md Reference Guides row + README; add anti-patterns row for the page-background stacking; bump to 1.8.0

+
+**Run it directly:**
+
+```bash
+python3 ~/.claude/skills/softr-vibe-coding/tools/get-softr-database.py <database_id>
+```
+
+It prompts for your Softr API key (input hidden via `getpass`). To skip the prompt entirely, pass via env var:
+
+```bash
+SOFTR_API_KEY=xxx python3 ~/.claude/skills/softr-vibe-coding/tools/get-softr-database.py <database_id>
+```
+
+Run with no args to be prompted for both the database ID and API key.
+
+**Output:** `~/Desktop/softr-database-<databaseId>-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.json` containing:
+
+```json
+{
+  "exportedAt": "...",
+  "source": "https://tables-api.softr.io/api/v1",
+  "databaseId": "...",
+  "database": { /* full database metadata */ },
+  "tableCount": N,
+  "fieldCount": M,
+  "tables": [ /* every table with its full fields[] array */ ]
+}
+```
+
+**Optional alias** for a shorter command. Add to your `~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`:
+
+```bash
+alias get-softr-database='python3 ~/.claude/skills/softr-vibe-coding/tools/get-softr-database.py'
+```
+
+After `source ~/.zshrc`, just run `get-softr-database <database_id>` from anywhere.
+
+**Get your Softr API key:** Softr workspace settings → API keys → create a new key with read access to the target database.
+
+**When to use vs the MCP:** the MCP server is better for AI-assisted workflows (the assistant calls schema tools directly without any user action). This CLI script is better when you want a portable JSON file — for sharing in chat, archiving alongside your project, diffing across schema versions, or pasting a single big blob into Claude. The two approaches don't conflict; many projects use both.

+get-softr-database
+==================
+Export a full Softr Tables database **schema** (every table, every field, and all
+of their details) to a timestamped JSON file on your Desktop.
+
+What it does
+------------
+Given a Softr API key and a database ID, it calls two endpoints:
+
+    GET /api/v1/databases/{id}           -> database metadata
+    GET /api/v1/databases/{id}/tables    -> all tables, each with its full
+                                            `fields` array (type, options,
+                                            choices, formulas, AI settings, ...)
+
+and writes the combined result to:
+
+    ~/Desktop/softr-database-<databaseId>-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.json
+
+Usage
+-----
+    get-softr-database                      # prompts for DB ID, then API key (hidden)
+    get-softr-database <database_id>        # prompts only for the API key
+    SOFTR_API_KEY=xxx get-softr-database <database_id>   # fully non-interactive
+
+The API key may also be supplied via the SOFTR_API_KEY environment variable, so
+it never has to be typed (or stored) in plain text.
+
+Only the Python standard library is used — no `pip install` required.
