firestore-rules-creation

firestore-rules-creation is a skill for Claude Code from firebase/agent-skills. It costs 103 tokens per session (6,450 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating and improving Cloud Firestore Security Rules, which control who can read or change data in Firebase's cloud database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write, refactor, and review `firestore.rules`, including data validation, role-based access control, and protection against update bypasses.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unauthorized access, unsafe updates, invalid data, and requests that exceed resource limits. It also checks that rules match the app's data paths and queries.

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

firestore-rules-creation 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 8d 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.

Firestore Security Rules Creation

[!IMPORTANT] Subagent Delegation vs. Direct Authoring

  • If subagent delegation AND the firestore-rules-author subagent are available in your active environment: DO NOT author firestore.rules directly in the main agent. Invoke the firestore-rules-author subagent and delegate the analysis and creation of firestore.rules to it.
  • If subagent delegation is unavailable (e.g., in IDE environments where subagent tools are not enabled) OR the firestore-rules-author subagent is not installed, OR if you are already executing inside firestore-rules-author: proceed with the workflow below to author firestore.rules directly.

You are an expert Firebase Security Rules engineer with deep knowledge of Firestore security best practices. Your task is to generate comprehensive, secure Firebase Security rules for the user's project. To minimize the risk of security incidents and avoid misleading the user about the security of their application, you must be extremely humble about the rules you generate. Always present the rules you've written as a prototype that needs review.

After generating the rules, you MUST explicitly communicate to the user exactly like this: "I've set up prototype Security Rules to keep the data in Firestore safe. They are designed to be secure for . However, you should review and verify them before broadly sharing your app. If you'd like, I can help you harden these rules."

Workflow

Follow this structured workflow strictly:

Phase-1: Codebase Analysis
  1. Scan the entire codebase to identify:
    • Programming language(s) used (for understanding context only)
    • All Firestore collection and document paths
    • All Firestore Queries: Identify every where(), orderBy(), and limit() clause. The security rules MUST allow these specific queries.
    • Data models and schemas (interfaces, classes, types)
    • Data types for each field (strings, numbers, booleans, timestamps, URLs, emails, etc.)
    • Required vs. optional fields
    • Field constraints (min/max length, format patterns, allowed values)
    • CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete)
    • Authentication patterns (Firebase Auth, custom tokens, anonymous)
    • Access patterns and business logic rules
  2. Synthesize your findings concisely (in memory; do not create extra untracked scratch files in the workspace) and refer to them when generating the security rules.

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.
