What the skill teaches
A skill from Google's google/skills collection that covers the first steps of any Firebase task: checking that the Firebase CLI runs through npx, signing in (including the no-localhost flow), creating a project or switching to one with 'firebase use', and downloading the Android and iOS app config files. It also tells the agent to check whether the Firebase MCP server is installed and points to setup notes for Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Android Studio, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and other agents so the rest of the Firebase skills can be added. It has reference files and no scripts.
