SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides developers to build secure, scalable Supabase integrations, covering schemas, Row Level Security, authentication, Edge Functions, and real-time features.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Database design with safe schemas, triggers, and relations.
  • Row Level Security (RLS) policies to protect user data.
  • Authentication & sessions using email/password and OAuth providers.
  • Edge Functions & real-time event handling and subscriptions.
  • Type generation and performance best practices for strong contracts.

Quick Start

Set up a new project with Supabase, install the client library, generate TypeScript types from your schema, and implement a basic CRUD with user-scoped access. Then connect an Edge Function to react to changes and enable a real-time subscription.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write Row Level Security policies in Supabase to protect user data?

Supabase RLS policies protect user data by restricting table access using SQL rules tied to authenticated user sessions. You define policies that evaluate each row against the current user, ensuring clients can only read or modify their own authorized records.

How do I generate TypeScript types from my Supabase Postgres schema?

You generate TypeScript types from a Supabase Postgres schema using the Supabase CLI. This introspects your database to produce type definitions, creating a strong contract that ensures frontend code matches your backend schema exactly.

Can I use Supabase Edge Functions to handle real-time event subscriptions?

Supabase Edge Functions handle real-time event subscriptions by executing TypeScript serverless logic that reacts to database changes. This enables secure real-time data flows across connected client applications without managing dedicated server infrastructure.

What's the best way to set up email and OAuth authentication in Supabase?

Setting up Supabase authentication involves configuring email/password and OAuth providers within your project. This handles user identities and session management, allowing your TypeScript client to securely track login states and enforce access control.

Do I need to understand SQL and schema design to build scalable Supabase backends?

Yes, building scalable Supabase backends requires understanding SQL and schema design to structure safe database relations and triggers. Careful schema planning is essential to enforce data integrity and support secure serverless logic effectively.
