What this skill does
# Low-Code & Internal Tool Platforms
## Platform Selection
| Platform | Best For | Pricing Model |
|----------|----------|---------------|
| **Retool** | Internal tools, admin panels | Per-user |
| **Supabase** | Backend-as-a-service, auth, DB | Usage-based |
| **Appsmith** | Internal tools (open source) | Self-host free |
| **Tooljet** | Internal tools (open source) | Self-host free |
| **n8n** | Workflow automation (open source) | Self-host free |
| **Zapier** | SaaS-to-SaaS integrations | Per-task |
## Supabase
```typescript
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);
// Auth
const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.signUp({
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'secure-password',
});
// Database (auto-generated REST API from Postgres)
const { data, error } = await supabase
.from('posts')
.select('*, author:users(name)')
.eq('published', true)
.order('created_at', { ascending: false })
.limit(10);
// Real-time subscriptions
supabase.channel('posts')
.on('postgres_changes', { event: 'INSERT', schema: 'public', table: 'posts' },
(payload) => console.log('New post:', payload.new))
.subscribe();
// Row Level Security (RLS)
// CREATE POLICY "Users can only see own posts"
// ON posts FOR SELECT
// USING (auth.uid() = user_id);
// Storage
const { data: upload } = await supabase.storage
.from('avatars')
.upload('user_123/avatar.png', file);
// Edge Functions (Deno)
// supabase/functions/hello/index.ts
Deno.serve(async (req) => {
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello!' }));
});
```
## Retool
```javascript
// Retool query (SQL)
SELECT * FROM orders
WHERE status = {{ statusDropdown.value }}
AND created_at >= {{ dateRange.start }}
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT {{ pagination.pageSize }}
OFFSET {{ (pagination.page - 1) * pagination.pageSize }}
// Retool transformer
const enriched = data.map(row => ({
...row,
total_formatted: `$${row.total.toFixed(2)}`,
status_color: row.status === 'paid' ? 'green' : 'red',
}));
return enriched;
```
## n8n Workflow Automation
```json
{
"nodes": [
{ "type": "n8n-nodes-base.webhook", "name": "Webhook Trigger" },
{ "type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest", "name": "Fetch Data" },
{ "type": "n8n-nodes-base.if", "name": "Check Condition" },
{ "type": "n8n-nodes-base.slack", "name": "Send Notification" }
]
}
```
## Integration Patterns
- **Custom code escape hatches:** When low-code hits limits, embed custom JS/Python
- **API-first backend:** Use Supabase/Firebase as backend, custom frontend
- **Hybrid architecture:** Low-code for admin panels, custom code for customer-facing
- **Data sync:** Webhook-triggered n8n/Zapier workflows between SaaS tools
- **Self-hosting:** Prefer Appsmith/Tooljet/n8n for data sovereignty requirements

relationship-science-coach
IncludedUse this skill for direct, practical adult relationship coaching: couples conflict, repair, trust, marriage, dating, flirting, attachment patterns, emotional connection, sex, desire differences, eroticism, kink negotiation, affection, love languages, breakups, and long-term passion. Draw on Gottman, EFT and Hold Me Tight, attachment science, modern sex research, Perel, Nagoski, Kerner, Schnarch, Love and Stosny, and flexible love-language tools. Be concrete and low-hedge. Redirect only for imminent danger, abuse, coercive control, minors, non-consent, self-harm, stalking, or medical/legal/psychiatric decisions.
building-sf-integrations
IncludedSalesforce integration architecture and runtime plumbing with 120-point scoring. Use this skill to set up Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture. TRIGGER when: user sets up Named Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callouts, Platform Events, CDC, or touches .namedCredential-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Connected App/OAuth config (use configuring-connected-apps), Apex-only logic (use generating-apex), or data import/export (use handling-sf-data).
venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.

IncludedCross-platform network troubleshooting (Windows, macOS, Linux) via local or remote shell. Use for: DNS broken, can't resolve hostnames, nslookup/dig works but apps fail, NRPT, WFP, scutil, /etc/resolver, systemd-resolved, /etc/resolv.conf, NetworkManager, VPN DNS leak residue (ProtonVPN/Mullvad/WireGuard/AnyConnect), AV/firewall blocking DNS or DoH, Tailscale DNS interaction, intermittent connectivity, remote diagnostics over SSH.
