π³ Curated by Skill Harbor β the foundational Firebase CLI setup skill: installation and version checks (`npx -y firebase-tools@latest`), login (including `--no-localhost` for browserless environments), project creation and selection, programmatic `google-services.json` / `GoogleService-Info.plist` downloads via the CLI (never the console), agent-environment setup guides (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Android Studio, Antigravity), the Firebase MCP server preference, usage principles, and common-issue handling. Pairs with the sibling basics skills: firebase-hosting-basics (classic Hosting deploys), firebase-remote-config-basics (Remote Config templates), and xcode-project-setup (iOS SPM linking). Distinct from the published firebase-ai-logic-basics (lot 30, which covers Firebase AI Logic, not CLI setup). Requires a Google account with Firebase enabled; Firebase CLI and project use are billed on Google's paid tiers beyond the free allowance β a paid service for real projects. By @firebase, listed here with credit to its creator. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: a Google account with Firebase enabled β Firebase usage is billed on Google's paid tiers beyond the free allowance (a paid service for real projects) Install "Firebase Basics β CLI Setup" for me. Foundational Firebase CLI setup β install, login, project creation/selection, app config downloads. Repository: https://github.com/firebase/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/firebase-basics/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the firebase-firebase-basics skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "firebase-firebase-basics". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat β credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you β no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the sellerβs own page, usually Stripe.
What does the β next to a creatorβs name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself β always check a build before installing it.
