Turso New Database
Create a Turso database and capture its credentials for local dev and CI.
Step 1: Preflight
turso auth whoami
If not authenticated, stop and ask the user to run turso auth login.
Step 2: Pick the database group
Always ask — never assume. Run:
turso group list
Show the groups and ask whether to use an existing group or create a new one. If new:
turso group create <group-name>
Step 3: Create the database
turso db create <db-name> --group <group>
Step 4: Capture credentials
turso db show <db-name> --url
turso db tokens create <db-name>
Write both to .env (create if missing, confirm it's gitignored) and mirror the keys into .env.example with empty values:
TURSO_DATABASE_URL=libsql://...
TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN=...
Step 5: Report
Summarize the db name, group, and URL, and remind the user these same two values are needed as GitHub repo secrets and Fly secrets for deploys (the deploy skills handle setting them).
