Skill for building applications with the @supabase/supabase-js SDK. Covers Auth, Database (PostgREST), Storage, Realtime, and Edge Functions.
The SDK docs at https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript are the source of truth. The reference files alongside this skill contain source code and READMEs extracted from the monorepo for quick lookup.
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key')
For type-safe queries, generate types from your database schema:
supabase gen types typescript --project-id your-project-id > database.types.ts
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
import type { Database } from './database.types'
const supabase = createClient<Database>(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY)
Database query?
├─ Select rows → supabase.from('table').select('*')

Auth?
├─ Email/password sign up → supabase.auth.signUp({ email, password })

├─ Sign out → supabase.auth.signOut()
├─ Get current user → supabase.auth.getUser()
├─ Get session → supabase.auth.getSession()
├─ Listen to auth changes → supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange((event, session) => {})
├─ Reset password → supabase.auth.resetPasswordForEmail(email)
├─ Update user → supabase.auth.updateUser({ data: { name: 'New' } })
└─ Admin operations → supabase.auth.admin.listUsers() / .deleteUser(id)
Storage?
├─ Upload file → supabase.storage.from('bucket').upload('path/file.png', file)
├─ Download file → supabase.storage.from('bucket').download('path/file.png')
├─ Get public URL → supabase.storage.from('bucket').getPublicUrl('path/file.png')
├─ Create signed URL → supabase.storage.from('bucket').createSignedUrl('path', 3600)
├─ List files → supabase.storage.from('bucket').list('folder')
├─ Move file → supabase.storage.from('bucket').move('old/path', 'new/path')
├─ Remove file → supabase.storage.from('bucket').remove(['path/file.png'])
├─ Create bucket → supabase.storage.createBucket('name', { public: false })
└─ List buckets → supabase.storage.listBuckets()
Realtime?
├─ Listen to DB changes → supabase.channel('name')
│ .on('postgres_changes', { event: 'INSERT', schema: 'public', table: 'messages' }, handler)
│ .subscribe()
├─ Broadcast messages → channel.send({ type: 'broadcast', event: 'cursor', payload: { x, y } })
├─ Listen to broadcasts → .on('broadcast', { event: 'cursor' }, handler)
├─ Presence (who's online) → channel.track({ user_id, online_at })
│ .on('presence', { event: 'sync' }, () => channel.presenceState())
├─ Unsubscribe → supabase.removeChannel(channel)
└─ Unsubscribe all → supabase.removeAllChannels()
Edge Functions?
├─ Invoke function → supabase.functions.invoke('function-name', { body: { key: 'val' } })
├─ With custom headers → .invoke('fn', { headers: { 'x-custom': 'val' }, body })
└─ Set region → .invoke('fn', { body, region: 'us-east-1' })
// Server-side only - bypasses RLS
const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, {
auth: { persistSession: false }
})
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY)
function useUser() {
const [user, setUser] = useState(null)
useEffect(() => {
supabase.auth.getUser().then(({ data }) => setUser(data.user))
const { data: { subscription } } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange(
(_, session) => setUser(session?.user ?? null)
)
return () => subscription.unsubscribe()
}, [])
return user
}
// Generated types give autocomplete for table names, column names, and return types
const { data, error } = await supabase
.from('profiles') // autocompleted table name
.select('id, username') // autocompleted columns
.eq('id', userId) // type-safe filter
.single() // returns single row or error
// data is typed as { id: string; username: string } | null

Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics services. Use when querying multiple databases (UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome) in a single workflow with consistent API. Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.
Python library for working with geospatial vector data including shapefiles, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage files. Use when working with geographic data for spatial analysis, geometric operations, coordinate transformations, spatial joins, overlay operations, choropleth mapping, or any task involving reading/writing/analyzing vector geographic data. Supports PostGIS databases, interactive maps, and integration with matplotlib/folium/cartopy. Use for tasks like buffer analysis, spatial joins between datasets, dissolving boundaries, clipping data, calculating areas/distances, reprojecting coordinate systems, creating maps, or converting between spatial file formats.
Fast CLI/Python queries to 20+ bioinformatics databases. Use for quick lookups: gene info, BLAST searches, AlphaFold structures, enrichment analysis. Best for interactive exploration, simple queries. For batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython; for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices.
Direct REST API access to UniProt. Protein searches, FASTA retrieval, ID mapping, Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices (unified interface to 40+ services). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or UniProt-specific control.

Take fcakyon/supabase-js from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npm.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
