Supabase JavaScript SDK Skill
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.
Setup
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)
Quick Decision Trees
"I need to query data"
Database query?
├─ Select rows → supabase.from('table').select('*')
├─ Filter rows → .select().eq('col', val) / .gt() / .lt() / .in() / .like()
├─ Join tables → .select('*, other_table(*)') or .select('*, other_table!fk(*)')
├─ Insert → supabase.from('table').insert({ col: val })
├─ Upsert → supabase.from('table').upsert({ id: 1, col: val })
├─ Update → supabase.from('table').update({ col: val }).eq('id', 1)
├─ Delete → supabase.from('table').delete().eq('id', 1)
├─ Call RPC function → supabase.rpc('function_name', { arg: val })
├─ Count rows → .select('*', { count: 'exact', head: true })
├─ Pagination → .range(0, 9) or .limit(10).offset(20)
└─ Order → .order('created_at', { ascending: false })
"I need authentication"
Auth?
├─ Email/password sign up → supabase.auth.signUp({ email, password })
├─ Email/password sign in → supabase.auth.signInWithPassword({ email, password })
├─ OAuth (Google, GitHub, etc.) → supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({ provider: 'google' })
├─ Magic link → supabase.auth.signInWithOtp({ email })
├─ Phone OTP → supabase.auth.signInWithOtp({ phone })
├─ 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)
"I need file storage"
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()
"I need realtime"
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()
"I need edge functions"
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' })
Common Patterns
Server-side with service role key
// Server-side only - bypasses RLS
const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, {
auth: { persistSession: false }
})
React/Next.js auth
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
}
Typed database queries
// 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

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
hetzner-deploy
This skill should be used when user asks to "deploy to Hetzner", "create Hetzner server", "manage Hetzner Cloud", "hcloud CLI", or works with Hetzner Cloud infrastructure including servers, networks, firewalls, load balancers, DNS zones, and volumes.
Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.
docx
Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.
xlsx
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
pptx
Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
dokploy-deploy
This skill should be used when user asks to "deploy with Dokploy", "use Dokploy Cloud", "manage self-hosted Dokploy", "deploy Docker Compose on Dokploy", "manage Dokploy databases", "configure Dokploy domains", or "look up Dokploy CLI commands".
