Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned firebase/skills at daaf0e1577.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides foundational knowledge and tools for interacting with Firebase, a popular backend-as-a-service platform. It enables AI agents to manage Firebase projects, including authentication, database interactions (Firestore), and cloud storage. It's designed to simplify common Firebase tasks and reduce the complexity of working with this powerful service.

When to use it

  • Building mobile or web apps: Automate backend setup and data management for new applications using Firebase.
  • Managing existing Firebase projects: Simplify tasks like user authentication, database updates, and file uploads in established Firebase environments.
  • Automating deployment processes: Integrate Firebase functionalities into CI/CD pipelines to streamline application deployments.
  • Data migration & backups: Facilitate automated data transfers between different Firebase databases or create regular backups of critical data.

Key capabilities

  • Firebase project management
  • Authentication handling (user sign-in, sign-up)
  • Firestore database interaction (read/write operations)
  • Cloud storage access (file uploads, downloads)

Example prompts

  • "Create a new Firebase project named 'my-awesome-app'."
  • "Add a user with email '[email protected]' to the authentication system."
  • "Write the data '{name: "John", age: 30}' to the Firestore collection 'users'."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with Firebase concepts and project setup.
  • Ensure proper credentials are configured for the AI agent to access your Firebase projects.
