Chris Chinchilla 26248be753 docs: Add AI Tools to QuickStarts (#47684)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## Summary

Adds two new optional onboarding steps — **Install Agent Skills** and
**Install MCP server** — to every framework quickstart guide, right
after the "create app" step, so readers are pointed at [Agent
Skills](/docs/guides/ai-tools/ai-skills) and the [Supabase MCP
server](/docs/guides/ai-tools/mcp) early in the setup flow.

**Where each step lives:**
- **16 quickstarts that include the shared `quickstart_db_setup.mdx`
partial** (Next.js, Astro, Expo/React Native, Flask, Flutter, Hono,
iOS/SwiftUI, Kotlin, Laravel, Nuxt, React, Refine, SolidJS, SvelteKit,
TanStack Start, Vue): the partial itself now has a step 2 "Install MCP
server (optional)" (between project creation and database setup), and
each individual file gets its own "Install Agent Skills (optional)" step
right after its app-creation step.
- **RedwoodJS and Ruby on Rails** (don't use the shared partial): got
both steps added inline, in the same order (Agent Skills, then MCP
server), since they can't inherit from the partial.
- All subsequent step numbers (and the "Step N" cross-references in
prose, e.g. in RedwoodJS) were renumbered to stay sequential.

## Test plan

- Check the quickstarts locally or in preview.
- Any other ideas on how to optimise showing these items?
- Does the SQL prefill add anything?
- Other ideas on how to simplify without losing the information?
- Check the MD output too and see if that also makes sense.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Refreshed multiple getting-started quickstarts with consistent,
clearer step sequencing (including renumbering) across frameworks.
* Added an optional “Install Agent Skills” step where applicable, plus
updated placements of shared environment-variable setup content.
* Simplified the database quickstart flow: single “Create a Supabase
project” step, streamlined SQL Editor instructions for creating an
`instruments` table, enabling RLS, and granting public read access.
* Added optional “Install MCP server” steps in the relevant quickstarts.
* **Style**
* Updated MDX linting rules to allow the uppercase phrase “Agent
Skills”.

## 3. Create a Next.js app
Use the `create-next-app` command and the `with-supabase` template, to create a Next.js app pre-configured with [Cookie-based Auth](/docs/guides/auth/server-side/creating-a-client?queryGroups=package-manager&package-manager=npm&queryGroups=framework&framework=nextjs&queryGroups=environment&environment=server), [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/), and [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/).
```bash
npx create-next-app -e with-supabase
```
## 4. Install Agent Skills (optional)
Supabase's [Agent Skills](/docs/guides/ai-tools/ai-skills) is a curated set of instructions that give your AI agent procedural knowledge about working with Supabase.
To install, run the following command in the root of your project:
```bash
npx skills add supabase/agent-skills
```
## 5. Declare Supabase environment variables
Rename `.env.example` to `.env.local` and populate with your Supabase connection variables that you can get from the helper below, or [from the project **Connect** panel](/dashboard/project/_?showConnect=true&framework=nextjs&tab=frameworks).
<Button variant="primary" asChild>
<a href="/dashboard/project/_?showConnect=true&connectTab=frameworks&framework=nextjs">
Open Connect panel
</a>
</Button>
```text name=.env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=<SUBSTITUTE_SUPABASE_URL>
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<SUBSTITUTE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY>
```
<$Partial path="api_settings.mdx" variables={{ "framework": "nextjs", "tab": "frameworks" }} />
## 6. Query Supabase data from Next.js
Create a new file at `app/instruments/page.tsx` and populate with the following.
This selects all the rows from the `instruments` table you created earlier and renders them on the page.
<$CodeTabs>
```ts name=app/instruments/page.tsx
import { createClient } from "@/lib/supabase/server";
import { Suspense } from "react";
async function InstrumentsData() {
const supabase = await createClient();
const { data: instruments } = await supabase.from("instruments").select();
return <pre>{JSON.stringify(instruments, null, 2)}</pre>;
}
export default function Instruments() {
return (
<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading instruments...</div>}>
<InstrumentsData />
</Suspense>
);
}
```
</$CodeTabs>
## 7. Start the app
Run the development server, go to http://localhost:3000/instruments in a browser and you should see the list of instruments.
```bash
npm run dev
```
## Next steps
- Explore [drop-in UI components](/ui) for your Supabase app
- Set up [Auth](/docs/guides/auth) for your app
- [Insert more data](/docs/guides/database/import-data) into your database
- Upload and serve static files using [Storage](/docs/guides/storage)
