Using the Claude app rather than Claude Code? You can add a skill there too. How to add it in the app

What does Firebase skills do?

Firebase skills is a set of Claude skills that cover setting up and shipping apps on Firebase. firebase-basics checks the CLI through npx firebase-tools@latest, logs in, selects or creates a project and fetches google-services.json or GoogleService-Info.plist. firebase-auth-basics adds sign-in providers to firebase.json and deploys them. firebase-hosting-basics and firebase-app-hosting-basics handle static sites and Next.js or Angular apps with server rendering, including apphosting.yaml and secrets. firebase-data-connect builds GraphQL schemas over Postgres and generates typed SDKs, and firebase-ai-logic-basics wires Gemini models into client apps behind App Check. Other members cover Firestore, Crashlytics, Remote Config, Xcode setup and Genkit.
