supabase

A set of instructions for working with Supabase, a hosted platform that provides databases, user login, file storage, server functions, and real-time data features.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides work on Supabase databases, authentication, server functions, real-time features, storage, vectors, scheduled jobs, queues, and integrations with web frameworks.
Why use it?
It requires checking current Supabase documentation and verifying changes, while emphasizing row-level security to prevent unauthorized data access.

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

supabase scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Supabase

Core Principles

1. Supabase changes frequently — verify against current docs before implementing. Do not rely on training data for Supabase features. Function signatures, config.toml settings, and API conventions change between versions. Before implementing, look up the relevant topic using the documentation access methods below.

2. Verify your work. After implementing any fix, run a test query to confirm the change works. A fix without verification is incomplete.

3. Recover from errors, don't loop. If an approach fails after 2-3 attempts, stop and reconsider. Try a different method, check documentation, inspect the error more carefully, and review relevant logs when available. Supabase issues are not always solved by retrying the same command, and the answer is not always in the logs, but logs are often worth checking before proceeding.

4. RLS by default in exposed schemas. Enable RLS on every table in any exposed schema, especially public. This is critical in Supabase because tables in exposed schemas can be reachable through the Data API. For private schemas, prefer RLS as defense in depth. After enabling RLS, create policies that match the actual access model rather than defaulting every table to the same auth.uid() pattern.

5. Security checklist. When working on any Supabase task that touches auth, RLS, views, storage, or user data, run through this checklist. These are Supabase-specific security traps that silently create vulnerabilities:

  • Auth and session security
    • Never use user_metadata claims in JWT-based authorization decisions. In Supabase, raw_user_meta_data is user-editable and can appear in auth.jwt(), so it is unsafe for RLS policies or any other authorization logic. Store authorization data in raw_app_meta_data / app_metadata instead.
    • Deleting a user does not invalidate existing access tokens. Sign out or revoke sessions first, keep JWT expiry short for sensitive apps, and for strict guarantees validate session_id against auth.sessions on sensitive operations.
    • If you use app_metadata or auth.jwt() for authorization, remember JWT claims are not always fresh until the user's token is refreshed.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

supabase is a skill published in the GitHub repository emilyLi2020/WAVE (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 125 tokens to every session and 1,768 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 83% identical to supabase, differing in 79 lines, and is treated as a copy.
