Usage Examples
Firebase Setup (iOS)
// AppDelegate.swift
import FirebaseCore
import FirebaseAuth
import FirebaseFirestore
@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
FirebaseApp.configure()
return true
}
}
// AuthService.swift
class AuthService: ObservableObject {
@Published var user: User?
private var handle: AuthStateDidChangeListenerHandle?
init() {
handle = Auth.auth().addStateDidChangeListener { [weak self] _, user in
self?.user = user
}
}
func signIn(email: String, password: String) async throws {
try await Auth.auth().signIn(withEmail: email, password: password)
}
func signUp(email: String, password: String) async throws {
try await Auth.auth().createUser(withEmail: email, password: password)
}
func signOut() throws {
try Auth.auth().signOut()
}
}
Firestore Repository (Android)
// data/repository/PostRepository.kt
class PostRepository @Inject constructor(
private val firestore: FirebaseFirestore
) {
private val postsCollection = firestore.collection("posts")
fun observePosts(): Flow<List<Post>> = callbackFlow {
val listener = postsCollection
.orderBy("createdAt", Query.Direction.DESCENDING)
.addSnapshotListener { snapshot, error ->
if (error != null) {
close(error)
return@addSnapshotListener
}
val posts = snapshot?.documents?.mapNotNull { it.toObject<Post>() } ?: emptyList()
trySend(posts)
}
awaitClose { listener.remove() }
}
suspend fun createPost(post: Post): String {
val docRef = postsCollection.add(post).await()
return docRef.id
}
suspend fun updatePost(postId: String, updates: Map<String, Any>) {
postsCollection.document(postId).update(updates).await()
}
suspend fun deletePost(postId: String) {
postsCollection.document(postId).delete().await()
}
}
Security Rules
// firestore.rules
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
function isAuthenticated() {
return request.auth != null;
}
function isOwner(userId) {
return isAuthenticated() && request.auth.uid == userId;
}
match /users/{userId} {
allow read: if isAuthenticated();
allow write: if isOwner(userId);
}
match /posts/{postId} {
allow read: if true;
allow create: if isAuthenticated()
&& request.resource.data.authorId == request.auth.uid;
allow update, delete: if isOwner(resource.data.authorId);
}
}
}
Firebase Emulator
# Start emulators
firebase emulators:start
# Run with emulator in code
if ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["USE_FIREBASE_EMULATOR"] == "YES" {
Auth.auth().useEmulator(withHost: "localhost", port: 9099)
Firestore.firestore().useEmulator(withHost: "localhost", port: 8080)
Storage.storage().useEmulator(withHost: "localhost", port: 9199)
}
Quality Gates
- Security rules tested with emulator
- Authentication flows verified
- Offline persistence tested
- Error handling comprehensive

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
