Miranda Limonczenko 7ce4ee53ae chore(docs) Retire supa-mdx-lint (#50602)
Closes
[DOCS-1289](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1289/get-the-linter-to-fix-what-it-flags-or-retirereplace-the-linter)

Stacked on #50600, which points contributors at the authoring skills.
Merge that one first.

## Problem

Contributors experienced friction with the linter. They felt nickle and
dimed for tiny nits and felt detracted from the work itself. PRs would
become noisy with tiny one-word suggestions.

Additionally, our homegrown linter is not very intelligent, causing
frequent overrides.

## Solution

This removes the linter entirely in favor of directing contributors to
use SKILLS instead.

The removal entails...

- **CI.** Delete the three `docs_lint` workflows: the PR check, the
external-PR comment companion, and the nightly `--fix` bot. Drop the
stale `zizmor.yml` ignore entry for the deleted workflow.
- **Tooling.** Delete `supa-mdx-lint.config.toml` and the 14 rule files.
Drop the `lint:mdx` script and the `@supabase/supa-mdx-lint` dependency
from docs, learn, and ui-library, and regenerate the lockfile.
- **Content.** Remove the 181 directives. A separate commit carries
Prettier's reformatting of the tables and blank lines those comments had
suppressed, so the deletion commit stays readable. No prose changes.
- **Style guide.** The word list states each rule directly instead of
describing what the linter flagged. Every term survives, including the
phrase groups that mirrored `Rule004ExcludeWords`.
- **Skills.** `write-the-docs`, `edit-the-docs`, and `review-the-docs`
drop `pnpm lint:mdx` from their self-review commands and check the word
list directly. `ask-the-docs`'s CI reference drops both workflows.

## Manual testing

1. Run `git grep -i supa-mdx-lint -- . ':!pnpm-lock.yaml'`. No matches.
2. Run `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only`. It passes, so
the lockfile matches the three trimmed manifests.
3. Run `git diff master...HEAD --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR | grep -E
'\.(md|mdx)$' | xargs npx prettier --config prettier.config.mjs
--check`. All changed markdown passes.
4. Open the [reformatted filter
table](https://docs-git-docs-retire-mdx-linter-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/observability/logs#filter-events)
on the preview and compare it with
[production](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/observability/logs#filter-events).
The table renders the same.

Illia BasalaievandMiranda Limonczenko ee1eb5dbca docs: standardize quickstart guides (#48950)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update

## What is the new behavior?

- All 19 guides follow one step order: create project → set up database
→ create app → AI tooling → add keys → create client → query data → run
it → go to production. Added _template.mdx with structure requirements;
it is not enforced with a lint check for now - this will be a separate
PR before adding new guides.
- 4 new partials replace copy-pasted blocks (AI tooling, connection
strings, mobile env vars, going to production).
- Error handling: return a message instead of a blank page when a query
fails.
- All guides verified and tested separately - all work as described.
What was fixed: wrong env var names in the Hono sample, a Next.js page
that redirected to login, missing database permissions in Refine and
Hono, and stale file paths and APIs in SvelteKit, Refine, and TanStack.
- Astro, Expo, Python, Laravel, and Rails were live but missing from the
quickstart grid or listing page. Added, with two new icons.

## Quick links for review

A reference contract the other 19 quickstart guides are checked against.
Documents the required frontmatter, the canonical 10-step section order,
every guide's deviation from that order (and why), the direct-Postgres
exception (Laravel/Rails/RedwoodJS/Spring Boot), and the
discovery-surface/icon requirements for adding a new guide. No lint rule
enforces it yet; that's a follow-up PR.

→ environment variables step
Shared by 3 guides: ios-swiftui, flutter, kotlin – note Expo React
Native is mobile too but doesn't use this partial, since it has its own
`EXPO_PUBLIC_` prefix convention inline instead.

## Per guide changes

**[Astro](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/astrojs#9-query-supabase-data-from-astro)**
Typed query error in the server client sample.

**[Expo React
Native](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/expo-react-native#8-query-data-from-the-app)**
Added an `error` state alongside instruments. Also removed the broken
[`--web` verification
path](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/expo-react-native#9-start-the-app):
expo-sqlite needs Metro wasm + COEP/COOP config the guide never had
(CodeRabbit finding).


**[Flask](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flask#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Split "Create the Supabase client" and ["Query
data"](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flask#8-query-data-from-the-app)
into their own steps.


**[Flutter](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flutter#9-setup-deep-links-optional)**
Reworded the deep-links section; keeps the framework-specific [Android
`INTERNET` permission
subsection](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flutter#android)
under "Going to production."


**[Hono](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/hono#6-declare-supabase-environment-variables)**
Split into "Install dependencies," "Declare environment variables," "Set
up anonymous sign-ins," and "Query data" as separate steps. Fixes wrong
env var names from the previous sample.

**[iOS
SwiftUI](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/ios-swiftui#8-query-data-from-the-app)**
Added an `isLoading` state so the loading overlay doesn't hang forever
on a successful empty result (CodeRabbit fix).


**[Kotlin](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/kotlin#5-install-dependencies)**
Fixed the Compose compiler plugin declaration: `apply false` was missing
from the app module (CodeRabbit finding).


**[Laravel](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/laravel#5-set-up-the-postgres-connection-details)**
Now uses the shared `quickstart_connection_string.mdx` partial for the
session-pooler/SSL guidance instead of inline copy.


**[Next.js](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nextjs#6-allow-public-access-to-the-instruments-page)**
New step fixing the page that previously redirected to login. Its
middleware path check is also now segment-aware so it doesn't over-match
paths like `/instruments-private` (CodeRabbit finding).


**[Nuxt](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nuxtjs#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
"Create the Supabase client" and ["Query
data"](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nuxtjs#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split out as their own steps.


**[React](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/reactjs#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Same
client-creation/[query-data](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/reactjs#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split as the other Vite-based guides.


**[RedwoodJS](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/redwoodjs#2-gather-database-connection-strings)**
Expanded into explicit transaction-mode/session-mode connection strings,
Prisma schema, migration, seed, and scaffold steps; fixes stale file
paths and APIs from the previous version.


**[Refine](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/refine#8-allow-writes-to-the-instruments-table)**
New step fixing the missing RLS grants that made the scaffolded
create/edit pages fail.

**[Ruby on
Rails](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/ruby-on-rails#4-set-up-the-postgres-connection-details)**
Now uses `quickstart_connection_string.mdx`; added a [reminder to save
the database
password](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/ruby-on-rails#1-create-a-supabase-project)
before it's needed for the connection string.


**[SolidJS](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/solidjs#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Same
client-creation/[query-data](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/solidjs#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split, adapted to Solid's `resource.error`.

**[Spring
Boot](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/spring-boot#4-set-up-the-postgres-connection-details)**
Connection-string section now uses the shared partial instead of a
duplicated inline caution.


**[SvelteKit](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/sveltekit#8-query-data-from-the-app)**
Updated `load` functions (both `+page.js` and `+page.server.ts`
variants) with explicit query-error typing; fixes stale file paths and
APIs from the previous version.


**[TanStack](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/tanstack#8-query-supabase-data-from-tanstack-start)**
`fetchInstruments` now returns and renders the query error instead of
silently returning an empty list (CodeRabbit finding); fixes stale file
paths and APIs from the previous version.


**[Vue](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/vue#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Same
client-creation/[query-data](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/vue#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split as the other Vite-based guides.
