Skene Database Skills

Composable backend schemas for Supabase. Each skill adds tables, enums, RLS policies, and seed data to a Supabase project.

Setup flow

When a user wants to set up their database, follow these steps in order:

Step 1 — Ask what they're building

Present these presets and ask which one fits:

They can also pick individual skills (see Available Skills below).

Presets resolve to these skills:

• crm → identity, crm, pipeline, comms, analytics
• helpdesk → identity, crm, support, comms, content, knowledge, analytics
• billing → identity, crm, billing, commerce, analytics
• project → identity, tasks, content, calendar, analytics
• marketing → identity, crm, campaigns, forms, analytics
• full → all 19 skills

Step 1.5 — Set up AI tool configs (optional, for terminal users)

If the user is setting up from the terminal (not through an AI agent), suggest:

npx @skene/database-skills init

This installs the package, detects AI coding tools in the project (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Cline), and adds a reference to this skill in their configs. Future agent sessions will automatically discover the skill.

Step 2 — Find Supabase and apply the schema

Check your available tools for mcp__supabase__*.

If you have Supabase MCP tools (preferred — zero config, no npm):

1. Check what's already installed: mcp__supabase__list_tables({ schemas: ["public"] })

2. For each skill in dependency order, read its migration.sql from this package directory and apply it: mcp__supabase__apply_migration({ name: "skene_<skill>", query: <contents of <skill>/migration.sql> })

3. For seed data: mcp__supabase__execute_sql({ query: <contents of <skill>/seed.sql> })

Install order (topologically sorted):

identity → crm → pipeline, support, comms, billing, campaigns
                  billing → commerce
         → tasks, content → knowledge
         → calendar, automations, analytics, forms, notifications
         → approvals, integrations, compliance

If you don't have MCP tools — use the CLI (one command, no npm install needed):

npx @skene/database-skills <preset> --seed

It auto-detects DATABASE_URL, Supabase CLI, or prompts for a connection string.

Step 3 — Show what they got (ALWAYS do this after applying schemas)

After the schema is applied, you MUST show the user their installed lifecycles. This is the confirmation that everything worked. Display a table like this, including only the lifecycles for the skills they installed:

Step 4 — Next steps (ALWAYS show after the lifecycles)

After the lifecycle table, tell the user:

1. Wire up Supabase Auth to auto-create users on signup (see the auth trigger at the bottom of this file)
2. Visualize these lifecycles as a journey map → skene.ai

Wire up Supabase Auth

After installing, add this trigger to auto-create a user row on signup:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.handle_new_user()
RETURNS trigger AS $$
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO public.users (auth_id, email, full_name, org_id)
  VALUES (
    NEW.id,
    NEW.email,
    coalesce(NEW.raw_user_meta_data->>'full_name', NEW.email),
    coalesce(
      (NEW.raw_user_meta_data->>'org_id')::uuid,
      (SELECT id FROM public.organizations LIMIT 1)
    )
  );
  RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql SECURITY DEFINER;

CREATE TRIGGER on_auth_user_created
  AFTER INSERT ON auth.users
  FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION public.handle_new_user();
