SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the setup of a Supabase database for vector-based RAG backends, reducing manual configuration and setup time.

Core Features & Use Cases

CLI automation to initialize a new project with the rag schema (rag_chunks, pgvector, and related functions).
Manual setup guidance for dashboards and SQL initialization to ensure reproducible environments.
Use Case: rapidly deploy a Supabase-backed semantic search system for chat or document QA workflows.

Quick Start

For fastest results, run the CLI automation path by installing the Supabase CLI, logging in, creating a project, linking your local project, and running the provided SQL initialization script.
Alternatively, follow the manual setup path to create a new Supabase project, copy API keys, run the SQL script in SQL Editor, and configure environment variables in a local .env file.
