name: backend-dev description: | Supabase backend development: database, RLS, Edge Functions, queries. USE WHEN: creating tables, migrations, RPC functions, Edge Functions, RLS policies, query optimization, Supabase infrastructure. NOT FOR: Flutter UI (use flutter-developer), tests (use testing-agent).

Examples: Context: The user needs to create a new database table. user: "Create a table for customer reviews with ratings and comments" assistant: "I'll use the backend-dev skill to design the reviews table with RLS policies." Database table creation requires backend-dev. Context: The user needs server-side business logic. user: "Create an Edge Function to calculate dynamic pricing" assistant: "I'll use backend-dev to develop the Edge Function for pricing." Edge Functions are a core backend-dev responsibility.

   • Serverless functions for API endpoints
   • CORS handling, authentication, external integrations

4. Row Level Security (RLS)

   • Multi-tenancy isolation via account_id
   • RBAC alignment (SuperAdmin, Admin, Agent, Operations)

5. Query Optimization

   • EXPLAIN ANALYZE for performance
   • Indexes, materialized views, query tuning
