How does this skill handle Realtime security?

It implements private channels by default and provides specific Row Level Security (RLS) policy templates for the realtime schema to ensure data privacy.

Why does this skill prefer broadcast over postgres_changes?

Broadcast is multi-threaded and highly scalable, whereas postgres_changes is single-threaded and can become a performance bottleneck in high-traffic applications.

Can I use this for existing Supabase projects?

Yes, it includes migration scripts and patterns to help you transition existing database listeners to the more efficient broadcast-trigger architecture.

What naming conventions are recommended for topics?

The skill suggests a granular 'scope:entity:id' pattern, such as 'room:123:messages', to ensure efficient message routing and precise security controls.
