Alaister YoungandAlaister Young f125126aec chore: make agent instructions agent-agnostic (#49941)
Makes the repo's AI-agent setup tool-agnostic: instructions live in
`AGENTS.md` files, skills live in `.agents/skills/`, and Claude Code,
Codex, Cursor, and Copilot all read the same sources. Also sweeps the
skills for stale and duplicated content while everything was being
moved.

**Changed:**
- Every `CLAUDE.md` (root, `apps/studio`, `apps/docs`, `apps/kb`) is now
a one-line `@AGENTS.md` import; the content moved verbatim into an
`AGENTS.md` beside it. The root one moved from `.claude/CLAUDE.md` to
the repo root for consistency.
- All skills now live in `.agents/skills/`; `.claude/skills` is a single
symlink to it (replacing the old mix of real dirs and per-skill
symlinks). Path references in `.coderabbit.yaml`, code comments, and
docs updated to match.
- `.github/copilot-instructions.md` keeps only the review policy and
points at `AGENTS.md` + `.agents/skills/`. Copilot code review reads
those natively now, so the per-topic
`.github/instructions/*.instructions.md` files were duplicates of the
skills.
- Stale skill content fixed: `studio-queries` imported a toast library
Studio doesn't use, `telemetry-standards` and `studio-testing` used
import paths that don't resolve, `safe-sql-execution` cited a boundary
test that doesn't exist, the ask-the-docs references described an
`AiPrompt` mechanism that was replaced by the ID-keyed registry, plus a
handful of wrong paths, a self-contradicting `waitForTimeout` rule, an
invalid Playwright signature, and a ConfigCat flag described as PostHog.
- `studio-error-handling` now explains when to use `AlertError` (the
default) vs `ErrorMatcher`.

**Added:**
- `apps/docs/AGENTS.md` (docs test requirements, from the old Cursor
rule)
- `studio-shortcuts` skill (from the old Copilot instruction file,
verified against the current registry)
- `ask-the-docs/reference/graphql-endpoint.md` and
`search-embeddings.md` (from the old Cursor rules, with the missing
resolver/registration/codegen steps filled in)
- Feature-flag measurement section in `telemetry-standards`

**Removed:**
- `.cursor/` (rules folded in as above; skill symlinks no longer needed)
and `.cursorignore`
- `.github/instructions/` (8 files)
- `vercel-composition-patterns/AGENTS.md` – a 946-line verbatim
concatenation of its own `rules/` directory, and a nested `AGENTS.md`
that agents could auto-load as repo instructions
- `edit-the-docs/reference/structure-and-flow.md` – word-for-word copy
of the skill's own Phase 2 text

## To test

- `readlink .claude/skills` → `../.agents/skills`, and `ls
.claude/skills/copywriting/SKILL.md` resolves
- Open a Claude Code session at the repo root and in `apps/studio` – the
imported `AGENTS.md` content should load as before
- `git diff master --stat -M` shows the skill moves as 100% renames
(content unchanged except the listed fixes)
- Spot-check a fixed claim, e.g. `import { toast } from 'sonner'` in
`studio-queries`, or the `logs.all` ESLint rule cited in
`clickhouse-logs-queries/references/codebase-integration.md`

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Documentation**
- Expanded guidance for documentation workflows, GraphQL resources,
search, ClickHouse logs, React forms, Studio testing, shortcuts,
telemetry, accessibility, copywriting, and composition patterns.
- Clarified local testing, linting, build workflows, error handling, and
AI coding agent usage.
- Added contributor guidance for the knowledge base, documentation, and
Studio areas.

- **Chores**
  - Consolidated agent instructions and skill references.
- Removed obsolete editor-specific guidance, duplicate links, and
superseded documentation.

Supabase Studio

A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:

What's included

Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.

As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:

  • Table & SQL editors
    • Saved queries are unavailable
  • Database management
    • Policies, roles, extensions, replication
  • API documentation

Managing Project Settings

Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.

How to contribute?

  • Branch from master and name your branches with the following structure
    • {type}/{branch_name}
      • Type: chore | fix | feature
      • The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
  • When you send a PR to master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review.
  • Review the main contributing guide to help test your feature before sending a PR.
  • The Dashboard is under active development. You should run git pull frequently to make sure you're up to date.

Developer Quickstart

Note

Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal infrastructure repo.

# You'll need to be on Node v22
# in /studio

## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server

## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio  # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`

## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode

Running within a self-hosted environment

Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.

cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up

Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=

Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.

npm install
npm run dev

If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
