Firebase Local Env Setup

This handles the boring but necessary groundwork before you can do anything with Firebase through an agent. It walks you through installing Node.js v20 or higher (recommending nvm to avoid permission headaches), authenticating the Firebase CLI with `firebase login`, and getting the MCP server wired up for whatever agent you're using. The skill enforces all four verification steps before letting you move on to actual Firebase work. It's not exciting, but if you skip this setup you'll just hit authentication errors and missing dependency messages later. Think of it as the "did you plug it in" checklist that actually saves time by catching environment issues upfront instead of three commands deep into a deploy.
