What problem does it solve? Setting up a cloud backend requires choosing and wiring together a database, authentication, file storage, serverless compute, and LLM access. This Skill guides an AI agent through provisioning and configuring Neon's backend primitives around Lakebase Postgres, using the CLI, MCP server, and branch-first development workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Backend Primitive Selection: Maps app capabilities (login, files, APIs, LLM calls, SQL) to the right Neon primitive — Auth, Object Storage, Functions, AI Gateway, or the Data API — while preserving existing providers like Clerk or S3. - CLI and MCP Setup: Walks through installing the Neon CLI, MCP server, and agent skills, linking projects, and pulling branch environment variables. - Infrastructure as Code: Declares services in a type-safe neon.ts config and reconciles them with neon status, neon config plan, and neon deploy. - Use Case: When building a new app, ask the agent to set up a Neon project with Postgres and Auth; it provisions a claimable or linked project, writes neon.ts, deploys the services, and pulls DATABASE_URL into your local env. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to set up a Neon project for your app with Postgres and authentication using the Neon CLI.
