What this skill does
Firebase Project Setup Overview This sub-skill guides initializing a new Firebase project with proven architecture patterns. It handles Firebase CLI setup, architecture decisions, emulator configuration, and initial project structure. Key principles: Use TypeScript for all functions Configure emulators from the start Choose architecture patterns early (hosting, auth, functions, security) Set up testing infrastructure immediately When This Sub-Skill Applies Starting a brand new Firebase project Setting up Firebase for the first time in a repository User says: "new firebase project", "initialize firebase", "firebase init", "set up firebase" Do not use for: Adding features to existing projects → firebase-development:add-feature Debugging existing setup → firebase-development:debug Architecture Decisions Use AskUserQuestion to gather these four decisions upfront: 1. Hosting Configuration Single Site - One hosting site, simple project Multiple Sites (site:) - Multiple independent URLs Multiple with Builds (target:) - Multiple sites with predeploy hooks Reference: docs/examples/multi-hosting-setup.md 2. Authentication Approach API Keys - MCP tools, server-to-server, programmatic access Firebase Auth - User-facing app with login UI Both - Firebase Auth for web + API keys for tools Reference: docs/examples/api-key-authentication.md 3. Functions Architecture Express API - Many related endpoints, need middleware, RESTful routing Domain Grouped - Feature-rich app with distinct areas (posts, admin) Individual Files - Independent functions, maximum modularity Reference: docs/examples/express-function-architecture.md 4. …
