build-with-tinybase
Scaffold, extend, and verify reactive local-first JavaScript or TypeScript applications with TinyBase. Use when choosing TinyBase for in-memory tabular or key-value state, generating an app with create-tinybase, adding schemas or UI bindings, configuring browser or database persistence, configuring MergeableStore synchronization, or diagnosing an existing TinyBase application.
npx skills add tinyplex/tinybase --skill build-with-tinybase --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Build With TinyBase Prefer a current generated application over reconstructing TinyBase setup from memory. Preserve persistence and synchronization lifecycle ordering, and verify the behavior the user actually needs. ## Select The Architecture Read [references/architecture.md](references/architecture.md) when choosing between Store and MergeableStore, persistence backends, synchronization, or UI bindings. Confirm that TinyBase fits the task: - Keep the active application dataset in a JavaScript runtime. - Use TinyBase for reactive tabular or key-value data, local-first behavior, persistence, synchronization, or framework bindings. - Do not present TinyBase as a hosted database service. - Pair it with another database or service when the authoritative dataset is unbounded, primarily queried on a server, or requires managed backend facilities. ## Scaffold A New Application Inspect the installed generator contract first: ```sh npm create tinybase@latest -- --list-options ``` Translate the user's requirements into explicit values. Generate unattended projects with every applicable option and always disable automatic installation and server startup: ```sh npm create tinybase@latest --

What does the build-with-tinybase skill do?
Scaffold, extend, and verify reactive local-first JavaScript or TypeScript applications with TinyBase. Use when choosing TinyBase for in-memory tabular or key-value state, generating an app with create-tinybase, adding schemas or UI bindings, configuring browser or database persistence, configuring MergeableStore synchronization, or diagnosing an existing TinyBase application.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add tinyplex/tinybase --skill build-with-tinybase --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From tinyplex/tinybase, a repository with 5,137 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
