butterbase-skills

Claude Code plugin for Butterbase — 30+ guided skills and auto-configured MCP for the AI-native backend-as-a-service.

Use when calling the app's AI gateway from agent tools — chat completions, embeddings, listing models, configuring defaults or BYOK, reading token/cost usage

Configure OAuth providers, auth hooks, JWT lifetimes, and service keys for a Butterbase app

Use when building a new Butterbase app from scratch, creating a full-stack application, or when the user asks to set up a complete backend with database, auth, and deployment

Use when users report access denied errors, see wrong data, RLS policies are not working, or when troubleshooting Row-Level Security issues in Butterbase

Deploy a frontend (React, Next.js, or static HTML) to a live URL on Butterbase

Use when building stateful per-key actors — chat rooms, multiplayer rooms, rate limiters, long-running agents, leaderboards — that need persistent in-memory + storage state across requests

Develop, deploy, or debug a Butterbase serverless function

Stage 1 of the journey: concrete one-question-at-a-time idea brainstorm with inline Butterbase capability tagging.

Use as the AI build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the AI section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the ai skill. Calls manage_ai (update_config) to set defaults and optionally BYOK. Skipped if the plan has no LLM/embeddings usage.

Use as the auth build stage of the Butterbase journey, after journey-schema (and rls if separate). Implements the Auth section of 02-plan.md by delegating to auth-setup. Calls manage_oauth (configure) for providers and optionally manage_auth_config (configure_auth_hook, update_jwt). Skipped if the plan has no end-user auth.

Use as the deploy-verification stage of the Butterbase journey, after journey-frontend (or after any build stage if there is no frontend). Smoke-tests the deployed app — hits the live URL, invokes any deployed functions, checks auth round-trip. Writes results to docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md. Blocks journey-submit if smoke fails.

Use as the durable-objects build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Durable section of 02-plan.md by delegating to durable-objects. Calls manage_durable_objects (deploy). Skipped if the plan has no per-key stateful actors (chat rooms, multiplayer, rate limiters).

Use as the frontend build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Frontend section of 02-plan.md by delegating to deploy-frontend. Scaffolds (if needed) and deploys via create_frontend_deployment + manage_frontend (start_deployment). Sets VITE_API_URL and VITE_APP_ID env. Skipped if the plan is API-only.

Use as the functions build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Functions section of 02-plan.md by delegating to function-dev for each function. Calls deploy_function per function; smokes each with invoke_function. Skipped if the plan has no functions.

Use before any Butterbase platform-touching action (or when journey-preflight is invoked directly) to verify the user has a Butterbase account, the MCP server is connected, BUTTERBASE_API_KEY is set, and an app_id exists for this project. Re-run automatically if docs/butterbase/03-preflight.md is older than 24h or any required value is null.

Use as the RAG build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the RAG section of 02-plan.md by delegating to rag-dev. Calls manage_rag_content (create_collection, ingest_document). Skipped if the plan has no knowledge-base feature.

Use as the realtime build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Realtime section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the realtime skill. Calls manage_realtime (configure) to enable WebSocket subscriptions on the listed tables. Skipped if the plan has no realtime needs.

Use as the RLS build stage of the Butterbase journey, after journey-schema. Implements the RLS section of 02-plan.md by delegating to debug-rls policy patterns (for proactive creation, not debugging). Calls manage_rls (create_user_isolation, enable, create_policy). Folded into journey-schema when hackathon_mode is true.

Use as the schema build stage of the Butterbase journey, after journey-plan and journey-preflight. Implements the Tables section of 02-plan.md by delegating to schema-design, previewing the diff (manage_schema dry_run) and applying it (manage_schema apply). In hackathon_mode, also folds in the RLS stage by invoking journey-rls inline before returning.

Use as the storage build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Storage section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the storage skill. Calls manage_storage (update_config) for bucket setup; uploads are exercised at frontend integration time, not here. Skipped if the plan has no file uploads.

Use when the user says "build an app", "let's start", "help me build", "I have an idea for", "ship it", or otherwise signals they want to go from idea to deployed Butterbase app. Orchestrates the full guided journey (idea → plan → preflight → build → deploy → optional hackathon submit) by reading docs/butterbase/00-state.md and dispatching to the next stage skill.

Use when moving a Butterbase app between regions, checking migration progress, aborting a stuck move, reverse-rolling a completed move, or tearing down retained source replicas after a move is stable

Stage 2 of the journey: translate the idea + capability map into a concrete Butterbase plan (tables, RLS, auth, functions, storage, frontend).
