Hand-picked backend and security skills
Backend skills for agents wiring up databases, auth, security, and realtime systems, with guidance from the teams and devs who build them.
Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pg_cron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pg_restore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
2.9k GitHub starsGuides Stripe integration decisions across development and test environment planning (separate sandboxes vs the shared test mode sandbox), API selection (Checkout Sessions vs PaymentIntents), Connect platform setup (Accounts v2, controller properties), billing/subscriptions, tax and registrations (Stripe Tax, automatic_tax, product tax codes), Treasury financial accounts, integration options (Checkout, Payment Element), migrating from deprecated Stripe APIs, and security best practices (API key management, API key permissions, webhooks, OAuth). Use when planning, building, modifying, testing, or reviewing any Stripe integration, including choosing a development environment, accepting payments, building marketplaces, integrating Stripe, processing payments, setting up subscriptions, collecting sales tax, VAT, or GST, creating connected accounts, or implementing secure key handling.
2k GitHub starsProvides foundational Firebase CLI setup, CLI installation, version checks (`firebase-tools@latest --version`), CLI login (including --no-localhost), project creation, project selection (`firebase use`), and app config file downloads (`google-services.json`, `GoogleService-Info.plist`). Use ONLY for CLI login, project creation/switching, or downloading app config files. Don't use for Firebase Hosting deploy, Firestore, Auth, App Hosting, Data Connect, Crashlytics, or Remote Config.
480 GitHub starsUse when working with the Resend email API — sending transactional emails (single or batch), receiving inbound emails via webhooks, managing email templates, tracking delivery events, managing domains, contacts, broadcasts, webhooks, API keys, inboxes (threads, labels, drafts, replies), automations, events, viewing API request logs, checking account usage and quotas, or setting up the Resend SDK. Always use this skill when the user mentions Resend, even for simple tasks like "send an email with Resend" — the skill contains critical gotchas (idempotency keys, webhook verification, template variable syntax) that prevent common production issues.
203 GitHub starsApply STRIDE methodology to systematically identify threats. Use when analyzing system security, conducting threat modeling sessions, or creating security documentation.

Load before calling data_tables or parse-file. Use for natural standalone requests like "what data tables do I have?", "show/list my tables", or "what columns are in this table?", and whenever the user asks to list, show, create, inspect, import, seed, query, update, clean up, rename columns in, or delete data tables and rows, especially from CSV/XLSX/JSON attachments. Also load before building or planning workflows that create or write to Data Tables (then load workflow-builder before workflow_builder_build_workflow).
208k GitHub starsApplies n8n's RBAC scope decorators to REST endpoints. Use when creating a new @RestController, adding any @Get/@Post/@Put/@Patch/@Delete route to an existing controller, or reviewing endpoint authorization. Every authenticated endpoint must be gated by @ProjectScope or @GlobalScope.
208k GitHub starsSecurity audit: supported static findings; qualified profiles add reproduction and repair candidates. (gstack)
137k GitHub starsGuidance for adding an API scope object to posthog/scopes.py and making it work for personal API keys, OAuth tokens and MCP clients. Use when adding a scope object, exposing a viewset or MCP tool to tokens, moving a viewset off scope_object = "INTERNAL", deciding if a scope is internal, OAuth-hidden or privileged, choosing a scope group, reading the scope list in Python, the frontend or the MCP server, or when a scope test fails in scopes.test.ts, test_scopes.py or tool-filtering.test.ts. Trigger terms: new scope, APIScopeObject, ScopeObjectEnumApi, scope_object, required_scopes, API_SCOPES, API_SCOPE_GROUPS, mcp scopes, OAuth scopes, personal API key scope.

Add a data warehouse table as a Self-driving Inbox signal source (the feature that ships GitHub, Linear, Zendesk, Jira, PagerDuty, Sentry, Snyk, Canny and others). A source syncs one warehouse table of actionable records (issues, tickets, conversations, incidents, findings, feedback, reviews) and the signals pipeline turns new rows into signals. Use when asked to "add a new inbox/self-driving source", "make <vendor> a signal source", or to find which warehouse sources could become signal sources. Covers candidate discovery, the backend emitter and registry, the signals frontend source catalog, the optional context-mill wizard entry, and created_via attribution.
40k GitHub starsHow to add a new ingestion warning type to the event ingestion pipeline. Use when emitting a new warning from nodejs ingestion code (emitIngestionWarning, captureIngestionWarning, pipeline `warnings` arrays, `drop()` with warnings), when adding a warning type, category, or severity, or when a typecheck error says a string is not assignable to IngestionWarningType. Covers the INGESTION_WARNING_TYPES registry (the single source of truth for type, category, and severity), the details-key conventions that ClickHouse v2 materializes into columns, debouncing, and the downstream surfaces to keep in sync (v1 UI map, resolving-ingestion-warnings skill, docs, v2 API).
40k GitHub starsHow to gate a PostHog API endpoint with project secret API key (PSAK) auth — a project-scoped, user-less service credential. Use when adding PSAK support to a viewset action, allowing a new scope for PSAKs, handling synthetic users (ProjectSecretAPIKeyUser), or choosing PSAK-aware rate throttles. Trigger terms: PSAK, ProjectSecretAPIKey, project secret API key, phs_ token, service auth, programmatic endpoint auth.
40k GitHub starsFind the events and person properties that correlate with funnel conversion or drop-off. Use when the user asks why people convert or drop off in a funnel, what converters do differently, which events or properties predict success or failure, or asks for "correlation analysis" on a funnel. Computes odds ratios with HogQL, because PostHog has no built-in funnel correlation view.
40k GitHub starsAuthenticate a new or changed service to ClickHouse with the rotating ch-podauth ServiceAccount token instead of a static password. Use when adding a service, sidecar, or container that reads or writes ClickHouse, adding a new ClickHouseUser, or hand-building a ClickHouse pool or client for a custom timeout or setting. Covers the token-aware default path (sync_execute, get_client), the rule that a custom pool must pass credential_provider or it silently stays on the static password, wiring the username so the user does not fall back to the pod's CLICKHOUSE_USER, and the deploy-side companion in the charts repo. Not for converting an already-deployed user off a static password.
40k GitHub starsExplains what a member or a role can do in a PostHog project, using the access control MCP tools. Use when the user asks what someone can see or edit, who can edit dashboards or feature flags, why a member can or cannot open a dashboard, notebook or table, what a role grants, which properties are hidden from someone, or how the project's default access is set. Covers what each level means, how the stored rule, the enforced level and the inherited access relate, what the null values mean, which tool answers which question, and when the answer needs the role tools too.
40k GitHub starsApply GDPR-compliant engineering practices across your codebase. Use this skill whenever you are designing APIs, writing data models, building authentication flows, implementing logging, handling user data, writing retention/deletion jobs, designing cloud infrastructure, or reviewing pull requests for privacy compliance. Trigger this skill for any task involving personal data, user accounts, cookies, analytics, emails, audit logs, encryption, pseudonymization, anonymization, data exports, breach response, CI/CD pipelines that process real data, or any question framed as "is this GDPR-compliant?". Inspired by CNIL developer guidance and GDPR Articles 5, 25, 32, 33, 35.
40k GitHub starsShuffle repetitive JSON objects safely by validating schema consistency before randomising entries.
40k GitHub starsReview a proposed AI-agent action or human-approval packet before execution. Use when an agent wants to run a consequential tool, command, deployment, message, purchase, credential operation, or data mutation; when checking whether approval still matches the exact action; or when auditing action evidence for forged results, parameter swaps, replay, correlated reviewers, missing evidence, expiry, or stale monitoring. Produce an evidence-based review only—never execute or authorize the action.
40k GitHub starsPerform language and framework specific security best-practice reviews and suggest improvements. Trigger only when the user explicitly requests security best practices guidance, a security review/report, or secure-by-default coding help. Trigger only for supported languages (python, javascript/typescript, go). Do not trigger for general code review, debugging, or non-security tasks.
