What it does

Firebase Basics is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. The definitive, foundational skill for ANY Firebase task. Make sure to ALWAYS use this skill whenever the user mentions or interacts with Firebase, even if they do not explicitly ask for it. This skill covers everything from the bare minimum INITIAL setup (Node.js setup, Firebase CLI installation, first-time login) to ongoing operations (core principles, workflows, building, service setup, executing Firebase CLI commands, troubleshooting, refreshing, or updating an existing environment).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including reference files (for example `references/firebase-cli-guide.md`, `references/firebase-project-create.md` and `references/firebase-service-init.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with Firebase and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions
  • Interacts with Firebase
  • Even if they do not explicitly ask for it

Example prompts

  • “/firebase-basics”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Local Environment Setup: Verify the environment is properly set up so we can use Firebase tools
  2. Authentication
  3. Active Project

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • firebase

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and firebase, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Firebase Basics loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 515 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.3k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 515 words (~1,208 tokens).

“Please complete these setup steps before proceeding, and remember your progress to avoid repeating them in future interactions.”
