What it does

Handles Firebase CLI installation, authentication, and foundational project setup tasks. Reach for this when you need to configure your local Firebase environment, switch between projects, or grab app config files for iOS and Android. Strictly for CLI bootstrapping—use other skills for Hosting, Firestore, Auth, and other Firebase services.

  • Install and verify firebase-tools, check CLI version
  • Authenticate with Firebase (including headless/--no-localhost flows)
  • Create new Firebase projects and switch between them with `firebase use`
  • Download app config files (google-services.json, GoogleService-Info.plist)
