Documentation

README

Prefer /butterbase-skills:journey — for a fully guided multi-stage build with preflight, planning, deployment verification, and (optionally) hackathon submission. This one-shot skill remains for users who want the legacy linear setup.

Build a Complete Butterbase App

This skill walks through all seven phases of building a production-ready Butterbase application — from provisioning a backend to deploying a live frontend. Follow each phase in order; later phases depend on artifacts (app_id, schema, RLS policies) produced by earlier ones.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
