What is firebase-basics?

A set of required instructions for projects that use Firebase, Google’s services for features such as databases, authentication, and app hosting. It requires checking npm and installing Firebase agent skills before implementation.

It is for starting Firebase-related mobile or web-app work, checking that npm is available, and ensuring firebase/agent-skills is installed before coding.

It provides a fixed preparation process intended to avoid using outdated Firebase patterns.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00028	$0.00748
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.00374
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00150

Security

Grade A, and why

firebase-basics 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 yesterday.

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.

Firebase Basics

CRITICAL Mandatory prerequisites

Before attempting to fulfill any user request regarding Firebase, you MUST follow these steps in order. Do not proceed to implementation until these are completed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in using outdated patterns and lack of access to essential reference materials.

Leverage the planning phase

If you use a planning mode (e.g., maintaining a task.md file), you MUST include a task to check and install firebase/agent-skills as your very first item.
Ensure NPM is installed.
```
## Check if NPM is installed
npm --version
```
If NPM is not installed, guide the user to download and install the LTS version from https://nodejs.org/en/download.

Then, request the user to manually install Node.js and to reply with a confirmation that the installation is finished. Stop and wait for the user's confirmation.
Verify and install Agent Skills for Firebase

You MUST ensure the full set of skills is installed to avoid using outdated patterns. Run this command:
```
npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills -y
```
If the skills are already installed, this command will ensure they are up to date. Do not skip this step.

Quick start

After completing the mandatory prerequisites above, proceed with these steps to set up your environment:

Log in to the Firebase CLI.

Run this command:
```
npx -y firebase-tools@latest login
```
Then, ask the user to complete the login flow in the browser.
Set an active project for the CLI.

Most Firebase tasks require an active project context. Check the current project for the Firebase CLI by running this command:
```
npx -y firebase-tools@latest use
```
- If the command outputs Active Project: <PROJECT_ID>, you can proceed with your task.
- If the command does not output an active project, ask the user if they have an existing Firebase project ID.

What ships with it

7 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.

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.
