Iron Law

NEVER use the naked firebase binary — always npx -y firebase-tools@latest <cmd>.

This guarantees the latest CLI version is used without polluting global node_modules. Every command in this skill prepends npx -y firebase-tools@latest.

Project Context

Check the project's CLAUDE.md to understand which Firebase services are in use and any project-specific constraints (e.g. which services are intentionally NOT used, whether Firestore is used as a canonical store or a status bus only, etc.).

Firebase project ID should be stored in an environment variable (e.g. FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID) — never hardcoded.
