What it does

Pb API is an agent skill from spinspire/pocketbase-sveltekit-starter. Operate PocketBase via its REST API. Use for CRUD operations on collections, authentication, querying records with filters, and managing PocketBase data.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. The repository describes itself as: a starter project to build a SvelteKit frontend with PocketBase backend. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

CRUD operations on collections
Querying records with filters
Managing PocketBase data

Example prompts

“/pb-api”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, curl

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 66f6dee. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- curl
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
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):
- pocketbase.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- PB_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pb API loads about 562 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 87 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~562

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:17

Create `.env` from `.env.example` (never commit `.env`):

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Bash, curl
```

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.

PocketBase API

Reference: https://pocketbase.io/docs/

Operate PocketBase via its REST API.

Credentials

Create .env from .env.example (never commit .env):

bash

PB_URL=http://localhost:8090
PB_SUPERUSER_EMAIL=admin@example.com
PB_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=your-password

If credentials aren't available via env vars, ask user explicitly before proceeding.

Quick Start

bash

# Auth
curl -X POST http://localhost:8090/api/collections/_superusers/auth \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"identity":"admin@example.com","password":"secret"}'

# List records
curl http://localhost:8090/api/collections/posts/records \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN'

# Filter records
curl "http://localhost:8090/api/collections/posts/records?filter=status='published'&sort=-created&expand=author"

Key Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Purpose
POST	`/api/collections/:collection/auth`	Auth with password
POST	`/api/collections/:collection/auth-with-password`	Login
GET	`/api/collections/:collection/records`	List records
POST	`/api/collections/:collection/records`	Create record
PATCH	`/api/collections/:collection/records/:id`	Update record
DELETE	`/api/collections/:collection/records/:id`	Delete record

Filter Syntax

status = 'published'
author.id = 'abc123'
created >= '2024-01-01'
user.name ~ 'john*'

Use @collection.name.field for cross-collection filters.

SDK Usage

typescript

import PocketBase from 'pocketbase'

const pb = new PocketBase('http://localhost:8090')
await pb.collection('posts').authWithPassword('user@test.com', 'secret')

// List with filter
const records = await pb.collection('posts').getList(1, 50, {
  filter: "status = 'published'",
  sort: '-created',
  expand: 'author,tags'
})

API Rules

null → superuser only
"" → public access
Start locked, open selectively
Use @request.auth, @collection, @now in rules
