What it does

Explorer is an agent skill from supabase/supabase, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build and modify Studio Explorer surfaces, including notebooks, chats, SQL snippets, query cells, and their shared toolbar patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 Databases. It works with SQL. The repository describes itself as: The Postgres development platform. Supabase gives you a dedicated Postgres database to build your web, mobile, and AI applications. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0b85e0d. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Explorer loads about 845 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 240 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~845

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.

Studio Explorer

Use this skill when working in apps/studio/components/interfaces/Explorer or building notebook, chat, snippet, or query-cell UI for Explorer.

Explorer UI is Studio-specific. Keep its components under apps/studio/components/interfaces/Explorer; do not move them into ui-patterns or duplicate them in the design-system app.

Import the toolbar primitives from:

tsx

import {
  ExplorerToolbar,
  ExplorerToolbarAction,
  ExplorerToolbarActions,
  ExplorerToolbarIcon,
  ExplorerToolbarTitle,
} from '@/components/interfaces/Explorer/ExplorerToolbar'

Compose the toolbar from slots rather than adding resource-specific props:

tsx

<ExplorerToolbar aria-label="Query toolbar">
  <ExplorerToolbarIcon>{/* decorative resource icon */}</ExplorerToolbarIcon>
  <ExplorerToolbarTitle>{/* static or editable title */}</ExplorerToolbarTitle>
  <ExplorerToolbarActions>
    {/* badges, source controls, display controls, and direct actions */}
    <ExplorerToolbarAction aria-label="Run query" icon={<Play size={16} strokeWidth={2} />} />
  </ExplorerToolbarActions>
</ExplorerToolbar>

The row defaults to 40px and follows --header-height at the md breakpoint.
Use ExplorerToolbarAction for compact direct actions. Icon-only actions are 28px wide automatically. It defaults to text-tertiary-foreground and hover:text-foreground. Pass size={16} strokeWidth={2} on Lucide icons.
Keep execution, persistence, source selection, and other resource state in the consuming Explorer surface.
Extend layouts with children and className; avoid boolean props for resource-specific variants.

Explorer query shell

Import the layout regions from:

tsx

import {
  ExplorerQuery,
  ExplorerQueryEditor,
  ExplorerQueryFooter,
  ExplorerQueryResults,
  ExplorerQueryViewport,
} from '@/components/interfaces/Explorer/ExplorerQuery'

Use ExplorerQuery for a framed query embedded in a notebook, chat, or another surface. Give it an explicit height when the surrounding surface constrains the cell:

tsx

<ExplorerQuery className="h-96">
  <ExplorerToolbar>{/* title and actions */}</ExplorerToolbar>
  <ExplorerQueryEditor>{/* editable or read-only SQL */}</ExplorerQueryEditor>
  <ExplorerQueryResults>{/* idle, loading, error, or result display */}</ExplorerQueryResults>
  <ExplorerQueryFooter>{/* row count or surface metadata */}</ExplorerQueryFooter>
</ExplorerQuery>

Use ExplorerQueryViewport when a query owns the content area of an Explorer tab. Its parent must provide a bounded height and min-h-0:

tsx

<div className="min-h-0 flex-1">
  <ExplorerQueryViewport>{/* the same query composition */}</ExplorerQueryViewport>
</div>

ExplorerQueryResults is always present and fills the space left by the toolbar, editor, and footer.
A result renderer that can grow supplies its own min-h-0 flex-1 overflow-auto container.
The shell owns layout only. Query models, source resolution, execution, results, display selection, and saved configuration stay controlled by the consumer.
Compose approval prompts, confirmation notices, and other surface-specific content as children between the standard regions.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add supabase/supabase --skill explorer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/explorer, .gemini/skills/explorer, .github/skills/explorer and .opencode/skills/explorer in your project.

What does Explorer need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Explorer is instructions for the agent only.

Does Explorer access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Explorer safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Explorer use?

Explorer is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Explorer use?

About 845 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Explorer?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Explorer: Evolving The Data Model (TriliumNext/Trilium, 38k stars), Orchardcore Data Migration (OrchardCMS/OrchardCore, 8.2k stars), SQL Optimization Patterns (ynulihao/AgentSkillOS, 617 stars) and SQL Portability (HL7/sql-on-fhir, 151 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
