# 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 Failure to follow these instructions may result in using outdated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.

1. **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.

2. **Ensure NPM is installed.**

```bash
## 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.

3. **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outdated patterns.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:

```bash
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:

1. **Log in to the Firebase CLI.**

Run this command:

```bash
npx -y firebase-tools@latest login
```

Then, ask the user to complete the login flow in the browser.

2. **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:

```bash
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.

- If yes: Set the ID as the active project and add a default alias by
running:

```bash
npx -y firebase-tools@latest use --add <PROJECT_ID>
```

- If no: Create a new Firebase project by running:

```bash
npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create <PROJECT_ID> --display-name <DISPLAY_NAME>
```
