agent-skills AGENTS.md

Project instructions for PowerSync agent skills, including required setup questions, command-line procedures, backend choices, and verification steps. PowerSync synchronizes data between applications and databases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building or modifying PowerSync skills, choosing Cloud or self-hosted deployment, following setup procedures, or verifying changes.
Why use it?
They prevent agents from making incorrect hosting or backend assumptions and require changes to pass the project's security and validation checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-skills AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

PowerSync Agent Skills

If you are building or modifying anything that uses PowerSync, you must follow the playbook in skills/powersync/AGENTS.md — not a condensed summary.

That file includes:

  • Agent compliance (non-negotiable): ask Cloud vs self-hosted, ask backend if unspecified, CLI-first, no silent shortcuts.
  • Full onboarding sequence, setup paths, SDK references, and debugging.

Do not assume Supabase, assume self-hosted Docker, or skip CLI steps unless the user explicitly opts out.

powersync login is PowerSync Cloud only. Self-hosted does not use it — see skills/powersync/references/powersync-cli.md § “Authentication”.

When editing files under skills/powersync/, preserve and strengthen playbook language so agents cannot reasonably treat references as optional recipes.

Verifying changes

After changing any file under skills/, you must verify the skill still passes Snyk's security scanner (snyk-agent-scan) before considering the work done. Run the scan as described in "Verifying changes with snyk-agent-scan" in README.md and confirm it reports zero issues. Also run node scripts/validate.mjs, which CI enforces.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
