What This Skill Does

Helps you build and deploy Firebase Data Connect backends backed by Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL. Covers schema design with GraphQL types, writing queries and mutations, setting up authorization rules, and generating type-safe SDKs for web, Android, iOS, and Flutter apps.

Data Connect has its own GraphQL dialect, directive system, and SDK generation pipeline, so having the exact syntax and workflow steps inline saves constant trips to the docs.

When to use it

  • Setting up a PostgreSQL-backed GraphQL schema for a new Firebase project
  • Writing filtered queries and paginated list endpoints with Data Connect syntax
  • Adding row-level authorization rules to protect user-specific data
  • Generating type-safe client SDKs for a cross-platform mobile and web app
  • Running the local Data Connect emulator to test schema changes before deploying
