They provide reusable instructions and context that these tools can use when helping you build and manage your Base44 apps. ## About skills Base44 skills are self-contained instructions that teach AI agents how to perform specific tasks with Base44. They follow the open Agent Skills specification and consist of a `SKILL.md` file containing metadata and instructions, along with any additional background information the agent may need. Each skill includes: * **Name and description**: Helps agents identify when to use the skill. * **Instructions**: Step-by-step guidance for performing the task. * **Optional resources**: Scripts, reference docs, and assets the agent can use. If you want to use Base44 skills to create new projects, install them globally: ```bash theme={null} npx skills add base44/skills -g ``` Base44 skills are automatically included in projects created with the CLI. If you installed the skills globally, your AI agent will typically use the project-level Base44 skills. Base44 skills are maintained in the [base44/skills](https://github.com/base44/skills) repository. ## Available skills Base44 provides three skills that cover the full development workflow: * [base44-cli](#base44-cli): Project setup, resource management, and deployment. * [base44-sdk](#base44-sdk): Feature implementation with the JavaScript SDK. * [base44-troubleshooter](#base44-troubleshooter): Production debugging and log analysis. ### base44-cli The CLI skill teaches agents how to manage Base44 projects using the command-line interface. This is your agent's first stop when starting a new project or performing infrastructure tasks. #### Capabilities Capabilities of this skill include: * Create and link Base44 projects from templates. * Define [entity schemas](/developers/backend/resources/entities/overview) with proper field types, formats, and RLS rules. * Configure [backend functions](/developers/backend/resources/backend-functions/overview) with automations. * Set up [AI agents](/developers/backend/resources/agents-config) with tool permissions. * Configure [OAuth connectors](/developers/references/sdk/docs/type-aliases/integrations) for external services such as Google Calendar, Slack, and Notion. * Generate TypeScript types from your project resources. * Deploy resources to production, including site deployment to Base44 hosting. * Authenticate with Base44 and manage CLI sessions. * Configure project settings. #### Example prompts * "Create a new Base44 project for a todo app". * "Add a User entity with email, name, and role fields". * "Deploy all my changes to production". * "Set up RLS so users can only see their own tasks". * "Add a Google Calendar connector to my project". * "Generate TypeScript types for my entities". ### base44-sdk The SDK skill teaches agents how to build features using the Base44 JavaScript SDK. Once your project is initialized, this skill guides implementation work. #### Capabilities Capabilities of this skill include: * Write frontend code that interacts with [entities](/developers/backend/resources/entities/overview). * Implement [authentication](/developers/references/sdk/docs/interfaces/auth) and user management. * Integrate [AI agents](/developers/backend/resources/agents-config) into your app. * Call [backend functions](/developers/backend/resources/backend-functions/overview) from the frontend. * Use [integrations](/developers/references/sdk/docs/type-aliases/integrations) for AI, email, and file uploads. * Implement [real-time features](/developers/references/sdk/docs/type-aliases/entities#subscribe) with subscriptions. * Build [backend functions](/developers/backend/resources/backend-functions/overview) with service role access. * Use [OAuth connectors](/developers/references/sdk/docs/type-aliases/integrations) to get access tokens for external services in backend functions. * [Invite users](/developers/references/sdk/docs/interfaces/auth) to your app. * Track [analytics](/developers/references/sdk/docs/interfaces/analytics) and [log user activity](/developers/references/sdk/docs/interfaces/analytics) with the app logs module. #### Example prompts * "Add a login page with email and password". * "Show a list of all pending tasks for the current user". * "Create a chat interface for the support agent". * "Send an email notification when a new order is created". * "Use the Slack connector to post a message from a backend function". ### base44-troubleshooter The troubleshooter skill teaches agents how to investigate production issues by fetching and analyzing backend function logs. #### Capabilities Capabilities of this skill include: * Fetch backend function logs with filtering by function name, log level, and time range. * Identify errors across all project functions. * Drill into specific function logs for targeted debugging. * Correlate log timestamps with user-reported issues. * Analyze stack traces and error messages from function executions. #### Example prompts * "Show me all errors from the checkout function today". * "Pull the last 100 log entries for my send-email function". * "Check for any errors in the last hour across all functions". * "Get warning and error logs from the process-payment function since yesterday". ## Keep skills in sync Base44 skills work best when they match your Base44 CLI version. When you update the CLI, you should also update your Base44 skills: ```bash theme={null} # Update Base44 skills in current project npx skills add base44/skills # Update Base44 skills globally npx skills add base44/skills -g ``` This updates existing Base44 skills and installs any newly added ones from the repository. ## See also * [Base44 MCP server](/developers/backend/overview/mcp-server): Create and manage backend projects from AI assistants * [Docs MCP server](/developers/backend/overview/base44-docs-mcp): Let AI assistants search Base44 documentation while you develop * [Project structure](/developers/backend/overview/project-structure): Base44 project organization * [CLI reference](/developers/references/cli/get-started/overview): Complete CLI documentation * [SDK reference](/developers/references/sdk/getting-started/overview): Complete SDK documentation
