What are Claude Code Skills?

Claude Code Skills are reusable prompt templates stored as markdown files in your project's .claude/skills/ directory. They let you codify best practices and common workflows into slash commands that Claude follows consistently.

How do I create a Claude Code Skill?

Create a markdown file in .claude/skills/ with instructions for Claude. The filename becomes the command name — for example, .claude/skills/code-review.md can be invoked with /code-review during a Claude Code session.

Can I share skills with my team?

Yes. Skills stored in .claude/skills/ can be committed to version control so every team member has access to the same standardized workflows. You can also organize skills into subdirectories by category.

What is the difference between project and global skills?

Project skills (.claude/skills/) are specific to the current project and are committed to git. Global skills (~/.claude/skills/) are personal skills available across all your projects.

The backend platform for AI-native developers. A Postgres-based backend with auth, storage, compute, hosting, and AI gateway â built for coding agents. This plugin gives agents the full InsForge surface: database CRUD with RLS, authentication, storage, edge functions, AI, realtime, Stripe payments, and deployments. Includes CLI infrastructure management, debugging diagnostics, and integration guides for third-party auth providers (Auth0, Clerk, Kinde, Stytch, WorkOS).

InsForge

The all-in-one, open-source backend platform for agentic coding. InsForge gives your coding agent database, auth, storage, compute, hosting, and AI gateway to ship full-stack apps end-to-end.

How it works

Coding agents interact with InsForge through one of two interfaces:

•MCP Server (self-hosted and cloud): exposes InsForge's operations as tools any MCP-compatible agent can call.
•CLI + Skills (cloud only): a command-line interface paired with Skills that agents invoke directly from the terminal.

Both interfaces let coding agents operate the backend like backend engineers:

•Read backend context and state: Pull documentation, schemas, metadata (deployed functions, bucket contents, auth config), and runtime logs, so the agent has what it needs to write code, verify what it built, and debug when something breaks.
•Configure primitives: Deploy edge functions, run database migrations, create storage buckets, set up auth providers, and configure other backend resources directly.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: insforge.dev

Self-hosted: Docker Compose

Prerequisites: Docker + Node.js

You can run InsForge locally using Docker Compose. This will start a local InsForge instance on your machine.

[![Deploy on Docker][docker-btn]][docker-deploy]

Or run from source:

bash

# Run with Docker
git clone https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge.git
cd insforge
cp .env.example .env
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up

Open http://localhost:7130

Follow the steps to connect InsForge MCP Server

To verify the connection, send the following prompt to your agent:

code

I'm using InsForge as my backend platform, call InsForge MCP's fetch-docs tool to learn about InsForge instructions.

You can run multiple InsForge projects on the same host by using different ports and project names.

bash

# Create a separate env file for each project
cp .env.example .env.project1
cp .env.example .env.project2

Edit .env.project2 with different ports:

code

POSTGRES_PORT=5442
POSTGREST_PORT=5440
APP_PORT=7230
AUTH_PORT=7231
DENO_PORT=7233

Start each project with a unique name:

bash

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml --env-file .env.project1 -p project1 up -d
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml --env-file .env.project2 -p project2 up -d

Each project gets its own isolated database, storage, and configuration. Manage them with:

bash

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml --env-file .env.project1 -p project1 ps      # status
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml --env-file .env.project1 -p project1 logs -f  # logs
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml --env-file .env.project1 -p project1 down     # stop

One-click Deployment

In addition to running InsForge locally, you can also launch InsForge using a pre-configured setup. This allows you to get up and running quickly with InsForge without installing Docker on your local machine.
