Firebase

Handles Firebase services with proper patterns for Firestore queries, real-time listeners, and security rules. You get TypeScript examples for the modular v9+ SDK, data modeling advice that actually embraces denormalization instead of fighting it, and emulator setup for local development. The skill covers the full stack: authentication, storage, cloud functions, and hosting. Most useful when you're building real-time features or need to structure Firestore documents without creating a relational nightmare. The security rules patterns alone will save you from accidentally exposing user data.

Firebase Skill

Firebase/Firestore patterns for web and mobile applications with real-time data, offline support, and security rules.

Sources: Firebase Docs | Firestore Best Practices | Security Rules

Core Principle

Denormalize with purpose, secure with rules, scale horizontally.

Firestore is a document database - embrace denormalization for read efficiency. Security rules are your server-side validation. Design for your access patterns.

Firebase Stack

Service	Purpose
Firestore	NoSQL document database with real-time sync
Authentication	User auth, OAuth, anonymous sessions
Storage	File uploads with security rules
Functions	Serverless backend (Node.js)
Hosting	Static site + CDN
Extensions	Pre-built solutions (Stripe, Algolia, etc.)

Project Setup
