# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Supabase CLI

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `supabase`.

## What this CLI is for
The official CLI from Supabase. Local backend, type generation, and db workflows from the terminal. Start with `supabase init` and go from there. Supports structured output — good for scripts and agents. Runs entirely on your machine.

Best for: local backend, type generation, and db workflows from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Great for agents (85/100)
- Structured output is available for parsing.
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.
- Can run locally with less credential exposure.

## Install
```sh
brew install supabase/tap/supabase
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
supabase --version
```
Expected signal: The CLI responds and is ready for local project setup.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
supabase --version
```

```sh
supabase init && supabase start
```

```sh
supabase init
```

```sh
supabase start
```

```sh
supabase db reset
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Require confirmation before apply, delete, deploy, transfer, merge, or write actions.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Supabase CLI (`supabase`) for local backend, type generation, and db workflows from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
