What it does

Pocketbase JS SDK is an agent skill from pockethost/pockethost. Uses the official PocketBase JavaScript SDK (npm pocketbase) from browser or Node: authStore, collection CRUD, realtime subscribe, file uploads, and pb.send for custom routes. Use when writing client apps, dashboard code, or Node scripts that call PocketBase over HTTP with async/await — not pbhooks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `pockethost-client.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage and Async programming. It works with JavaScript and npm. The repository describes itself as: Open source multitenant PocketBase server. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“Use the pocketbase-js-sdk skill to use the official PocketBase JavaScript SDK (npm pocketbase) from browser or Node: authStore, collection CRUD…”
“/pocketbase-js-sdk”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82c9ba3. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).
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):
- github.com
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

Pocketbase JS SDK loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

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.

description: Uses the official PocketBase JavaScript SDK (npm pocketbase) from browser or Node: authStore, collection CRUD, realtime subscribe, file uploads, and pb.send for custom routes. Use when writing client apps, dashboard code, or Node scripts that call PocketBase over HTTP with async/await — not pb_hooks.

PocketBase JavaScript SDK

The npm pocketbase package is an async HTTP client for PocketBase. It runs in browsers and Node — not inside the JSVM.

Official SDK: https://github.com/pocketbase/js-sdk

Not the JSVM

JS SDK	JSVM (`pb_hooks`)
`async`/`await`, Promises	Synchronous only
`new PocketBase(url)`	`$app`, `routerAdd`, `onRecord*`
Browser / Node	Embedded in PocketBase binary

Never use async/await or new PocketBase() inside *.pb.js hook files.

Basic usage

import PocketBase from 'pocketbase'

const pb = new PocketBase('https://my-project.pockethost.io')

// Auth
await pb.collection('users').authWithPassword(email, password)
pb.authStore.isValid // true when logged in
pb.authStore.model   // auth record
pb.authStore.clear() // logout

// CRUD
const list = await pb.collection('posts').getList(1, 50, { filter: 'status = "published"' })
const one = await pb.collection('posts').getOne('RECORD_ID')
await pb.collection('posts').create({ title: 'Hello' })
await pb.collection('posts').update('RECORD_ID', { title: 'Updated' })
await pb.collection('posts').delete('RECORD_ID')

Auth patterns

// Register (auth collection)
await pb.collection('users').create({ email, password, passwordConfirm: password })

// OAuth2
await pb.collection('users').authWithOAuth2({ provider: 'google' })

// Refresh token
await pb.collection('users').authRefresh()

// Listen for auth changes
pb.authStore.onChange((token, model) => { /* ... */ })

Realtime

const unsub = await pb.collection('posts').subscribe('*', (e) => {
  console.log(e.action, e.record)
})
// later
unsub()

Always unsubscribe on component teardown to avoid leaks.

Custom routes (hooks → client)

Hooks registered with routerAdd are called from the client via pb.send():

const result = await pb.send('/test/theTestId', { method: 'POST' })

Auth headers are attached automatically when authStore is valid.

JSON body shape

Pass a plain object as body. The SDK serializes it as JSON with the correct Content-Type:

await pb.send('/api/user/trusted-ips', {
  method: 'PATCH',
  body: { trusted_ips: ['203.0.113.5/32'] },
})

On the hook side (≥ v0.23), read with e.bindBody(new DynamicModel({ trusted_ips: [] })) — not manual JSON.parse on e.request.body. See pocketbase-jsvm request-body.md.

File uploads

const formData = new FormData()
formData.append('title', 'Photo')
formData.append('image', file)
await pb.collection('photos').create(formData)

Errors

import { ClientResponseError } from 'pocketbase'

try {
  await pb.collection('posts').create(data)
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof ClientResponseError) {
    console.log(err.status, err.response)
  }
}

Architecture note

Prefer direct client → PocketBase access with API rules. Avoid proxying through SvelteKit/Next server loaders unless you have a specific reason (see pocketbase skill, antipattern doc).

For privileged operations, add a JS hook route and call it with pb.send() instead of server-side SDK calls.

This monorepo

Import SDK types and class from pockethost/common, not directly from pocketbase:

import { PocketBase, ClientResponseError, BaseAuthStore } from 'pockethost/common'

Prefer factory wrappers over raw new PocketBase() in app code. See pockethost-client.md.
