What does the firebase-messaging skill do?
Use when setting up Firebase Cloud Messaging, managing permissions and tokens, handling background/foreground notification taps, or dispatching messages server-side (HTTP v1).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add evanca/flutter-ai-rules --skill firebase-messaging --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 evanca/flutter-ai-rules, a repository with 604 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.
