Firebase gives you a complete backend in minutes - auth, database, storage, functions, hosting. But the ease of setup hides real complexity. Security rules are your last line of defense, and they're often wrong. Firestore queries are limited, and you learn this after you've designed your data model. This skill covers Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Realtime Database, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, and Firebase Hosting. Key insight: Firebase is optimized for read-heavy, denormalized data. I

The skill has a clear structure with capabilities and patterns outlined, but suffers from incomplete content (truncated description and sections). The description and pattern sections lack the detail needed for a CLI agent to invoke specific Firebase operations. Task knowledge is minimal - there are no concrete examples, code snippets, security rule templates, or step-by-step procedures for common Firebase tasks. The structure is good with clear sections for capabilities, patterns, and anti-patterns, but most sections are empty or stub-level. Novelty is moderate since Firebase does have complexity around security rules, query limitations, and cost optimization that could benefit from skill encapsulation, but this potential isn't realized in the current implementation. To improve: add concrete examples for each capability, provide security rule templates, include query pattern examples, add Firebase CLI commands, and flesh out the patterns with actual code.
