InsForge CLI

Use this skill whenever someone needs a backend, or when managing InsForge backend and cloud infrastructure with the InsForge CLI. For application code that calls InsForge from a frontend, backend, or edge function, use the insforge app-integration skill instead.

Core Rules

• Always run the CLI through npx -y @insforge/cli <command>. Keep npx's -y: without it, npx asks "Ok to proceed?" before installing the package and blocks forever in a TTY-attached agent shell. Do not install or call a global insforge binary.
• If the project is already linked, use the current linked project. Run login, project creation, link, project discovery, organization listing, or cloud project commands only when connection setup is actually needed.
• When a task needs a backend and no project is linked yet, do connection setup FIRST — before writing any app code: (1) log in (whoami to check; in sandboxes use the two-step device login below), (2) create a new project or link an existing one, (3) then build against the real project URL and keys from the CLI. Never scaffold with placeholder credentials like your-project.region.insforge.app — get the real values first.
• Treat InsForge API keys as full-access admin keys. Keep them server-only and out of frontend/public env vars.
• Prefer CLI commands and documented project config over raw backend HTTP calls. If config apply reports unsupported/skipped fields, surface that result instead of bypassing the CLI with direct API calls.
• Use --json when structured output or non-interactive value collection is needed. Use --yes for confirmation prompts when the user has approved the action.
• At the start of a non-trivial task on a linked project, run npx -y @insforge/cli memory list (cheap, no AI call) and recall any title relevant to the task before designing or debugging. Record decisions and the gotchas you hit with memory remember at the moment they happen. See references/memory.md.
• When you hit a hurdle that is InsForge's fault — something that should work but doesn't, a capability you needed but isn't supported, instructions (docs/skill) that reality contradicts, or needless friction — report it with npx -y @insforge/cli feedback (see Feedback), then continue the user's task with a workaround. Never file feedback for problems in the user's own app code.

Global Options

Flag	Use
--json	Structured JSON output and skip value-collection prompts such as text/select prompts. Errors if any required value is missing. Combine with -y for destructive commands that also ask for Y/N confirmation.
-y, --yes	Auto-accept Y/N confirmation prompts such as delete or overwrite prompts. Does not skip value-collection prompts; use --json for that. Separate from npx's own -y, so both appear together: npx -y @insforge/cli link --project-id <id> -y.

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success
1	General error, including HTTP 400+ from function invoke
2	Not authenticated
3	Project not linked
4	Resource not found
5	Permission denied

Environment Variables

Variable	Use
INSFORGE_ACCESS_TOKEN	Override stored access token
INSFORGE_PROJECT_ID	Override linked project ID
INSFORGE_EMAIL	Email for non-interactive login
INSFORGE_PASSWORD	Password for non-interactive login

Connection Setup

If a task needs project access and the connection state is unknown, start with npx -y @insforge/cli current. Use npx -y @insforge/cli whoami when the authenticated identity matters or when current reports that the CLI is not authenticated.

If not authenticated, run npx -y @insforge/cli login (opens a browser). For headless / agent / CI contexts with no browser, authenticate non-interactively with a user API key: npx -y @insforge/cli login --user-api-key "$INSFORGE_USER_API_KEY" (the user creates the key in the dashboard under Profile → API Keys). In sandboxes where the user has a browser but it cannot reach the CLI's local callback (e.g. the ChatGPT app), use device login as two steps: timeout 15 npx -y @insforge/cli login --device --json 2>&1 || true to capture the verification link + code, relay them to the user, then rerun npx -y @insforge/cli login --device --json to resume the same code and complete once they click Authorize — see references/login.md. If the sandbox reports that api.insforge.dev is not an allowed network domain, ask the user to add it to the workspace's allowed network domains, then retry. If no project is linked, use npx -y @insforge/cli link for an existing project or npx -y @insforge/cli create when the user asked for a new backend. In workflows that are already prelinked or preconfigured, such as CI, local test projects, automation, or explicit user-provided project context, use that project context directly. A cloud project is the default throughout; only when the user explicitly asks for a backend running in Docker on their own machine, see references/local.md — never as a fallback when login or create is inconvenient.

Database Workflow

Use database references before writing migrations when the task involves non-trivial database work:

• references/database/migrations.md - migration file creation and apply workflow.
• references/database/query.md - raw SQL execution and targeted inspection.
• references/database/access-control.md - RLS, grants, recursion-safe helper functions, ACLs, protected fields, and public projections.
• references/database/integrity.md - constraints, triggers, derived state, lifecycle guards, append-only history, and server-maintained fields.
• references/database/vector.md - pgvector extension, vector schema, distance operators, indexes, and vector search SQL/RPC patterns.
• references/database/export.md / references/database/import.md - schema or data import/export tasks.

Default pattern:

• Prefer npx -y @insforge/cli db migrations new <name> plus a migration SQL file for schema, grants, indexes, triggers, functions, and RLS policy changes.
• Apply migrations with npx -y @insforge/cli db migrations up --all.
• For new schema work, group related DDL into one migration when practical.
• Use targeted inspection when existing state is unknown or a command fails.
• Use npx -y @insforge/cli db query <sql> for targeted inspection and small corrective row/data SQL only when a migration is not appropriate.
• Use npx -y @insforge/cli db rpc <fn> [--data <json>] to call database functions through the backend.

Public schema scope:

• For generic application database work, create and modify app-owned objects in the public schema.
• Create, alter, drop, grant, revoke, index, trigger, function, view, and policy changes on public application objects.
• Do not create custom schemas or write to InsForge-managed/system schemas such as auth, storage, realtime, payments, graphql, extensions, pg_catalog, information_schema, or system, unless you are working on that specific feature module and its docs explicitly allow the operation.
• It is allowed to reference built-in objects such as auth.users(id) and auth.uid() from public tables or public RLS policies; do not modify those built-in objects.
• Do not create users, seed business rows, or run application CRUD workflows unless the user request explicitly asks for data migration, repair, or test setup.

RLS and access control:

• Use auth.uid() or an equivalent authenticated identity expression for user ownership checks.
• Add both SQL privileges and RLS policies. Policies do not replace GRANT.
• Runtime roles have broad default DML privileges on public tables so RLS can decide row access. If a table needs narrower operation or column access, explicitly REVOKE the broad privilege before granting the exact allowed operations or columns.
• Include WITH CHECK for INSERT and UPDATE policies so writes cannot create rows the user should not own.
• Prefer helper functions for cross-table RLS checks when direct policy joins can recurse through other RLS policies.
• Helper functions called from RLS policies that query RLS-enabled tables should be SECURITY DEFINER.
• Put RLS helper functions in public and schema-qualify references such as public.team_members and auth.uid().
• For ACLs, protected owner/tenant/role fields, field-level update masks, sanitized public views, or recursion-sensitive policies, read references/database/access-control.md before writing migrations.

Integrity:

• For counters, balances, latest pointers, append-only history, state transitions, lifecycle guards, protected deletes, quota guards, leases, or trigger-maintained columns, read references/database/integrity.md before writing migrations.

Vector:

• For pgvector, vector search functions, score semantics, ANN indexes, hybrid ranking, RAG chunk retrieval, multi-vector search, or embedding version selection, read references/database/vector.md before writing migrations.

Project and Configuration

Project commands:

• npx -y @insforge/cli create - create a new project. Use --json with required flags for non-interactive agent runs. See references/create.md.
• npx -y @insforge/cli link - link the current directory to an existing project.
• npx -y @insforge/cli link --api-base-url <url> --api-key <admin key> - link a self-hosted (OSS) backend directly by its URL and admin API key; no platform login required.
• npx -y @insforge/cli current - show current linked project.
• npx -y @insforge/cli metadata --json - inspect backend metadata when discovery is needed.

Project lifecycle (operates on the linked project unless --project <id> is given):

• npx -y @insforge/cli projects get [--project <id>] - show a project's current status, in-flight operation_status, region, instance type, and version. Use this to poll after an async operation (restore, version update, instance resize) until operation_status clears.
• npx -y @insforge/cli projects update [--name <name>] [--domain <domain>] [--storage-size <gib>] [--project <id>] - rename or change project settings.
• npx -y @insforge/cli projects restore [--project <id>] - bring a paused project back online. Only paused projects can be restored.
• npx -y @insforge/cli projects update-version [--wait] [--project <id>] - update the backend to the latest InsForge version (resolved automatically; no-op if already current). Causes a brief restart. Add --wait to block until it finishes instead of returning while queued.
• npx -y @insforge/cli projects upgrade-instance <type> [--project <id>] - change the instance class. Valid: nano, micro, small, medium, large, xl (xl is the ceiling). Restarts the project and changes the bill.
• npx -y @insforge/cli projects delete --project <id> - permanently delete a project and all of its resources. --project is required (it will not default to the linked project). Irreversible — confirm the exact project id with the user first; this is a guarded, human-in-the-loop operation, so do not auto-bypass the confirmation.
• npx -y @insforge/cli projects transfer <targetOrgId> --project <id> - move a project to another organization (billing and access move with it). --project is required (it will not default to the linked project). Guarded, human-in-the-loop — confirm the source project and target org first.

Configuration:

• Use npx -y @insforge/cli config export, config plan, and config apply for supported insforge.toml knobs.
• TOML is for config values only. SQL belongs in db migrations; function code belongs in functions deploy; frontend code belongs in deployments deploy; compute code/images belong in compute deploy.
• If config apply returns skipped[], report the skipped items and required backend upgrade. Do not retry with raw HTTP.

Organizations and Members

Org-scoped commands resolve the organization in this order: --org-id flag, INSFORGE_ORG_ID, the linked project's org, the configured default org, then a prompt (or single-org auto-select). Pass --org-id <id> to act on a specific org.

• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs list - list organizations you belong to.
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs create <name> [--type personal|team|company] - create an organization (default type team).
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs update [--name <name>] [--type <type>] [--org-id <id>] - rename or change an organization's type.
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs members list [--org-id <id>] - list members and pending invitations.
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs members invite <email> [--role administrator|developer] [--org-id <id>] - invite a member (default role developer).
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs members role <memberId> <role> [--org-id <id>] - change a member's role (administrator or developer).
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs members remove <memberId> [--org-id <id>] - remove a member. Confirm intent first.
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs leave --org-id <id> - leave an organization. --org-id is required (it will not default to the linked org). You lose access to all of its projects and must be re-invited to return. The backend refuses if you are the last administrator — transfer the admin role first. Guarded, human-in-the-loop — confirm intent first.
• npx -y @insforge/cli orgs delete --org-id <id> - permanently delete an organization. --org-id is required (it will not default to the linked org). Owner only. This cascades: every project in the org (databases, storage, all resources) is permanently deleted and the subscription is canceled — the CLI lists the affected projects and warns when the currently linked project is one of them. Irreversible; confirm the exact org id with the user first and do not auto-bypass the confirmation.

Billing and Usage

Inspect the organization's plan/consumption and manage its subscription. Org resolution matches the Organizations section.

• npx -y @insforge/cli billing status [--org-id <id>] - show the current subscription/plan and period.
• npx -y @insforge/cli billing credits [--org-id <id>] - show the credit balance and recent credit transactions.
• npx -y @insforge/cli billing history [--org-id <id>] - list past payments / invoices.
• npx -y @insforge/cli billing cycles [--org-id <id>] - show the current and previous billing-cycle windows.
• npx -y @insforge/cli usage [--org-id <id>] - show consumption for the current billing period (summary plus per-project breakdown: database, storage, egress, etc.).
• npx -y @insforge/cli billing upgrade <plan> [--org-id <id>] - start a Stripe checkout to change the plan (free | starter | pro | team | enterprise). Opens the hosted checkout URL in the browser and also prints it. With --json it prints a JSON object ({ checkoutUrl, sessionId }) and does not open a browser — use this in headless/CI. No charge happens until the user completes checkout; the backend validates the plan and admin permission.
• npx -y @insforge/cli billing manage [--org-id <id>] - open the Stripe customer portal to manage the subscription, payment method, or cancellation. Opens the portal URL in the browser and also prints it. With --json it prints a JSON object ({ portalUrl }) and does not open a browser — use this in headless/CI.

Backups

Operates on the linked project unless --project <id> is given. Works for both cloud projects and self-hosted projects (linked with link --api-base-url <url> --api-key <key>) — the CLI routes to the right backend automatically; an explicit --project <id> always targets a cloud project.

• npx -y @insforge/cli backups list [--project <id>] - list backups.
• npx -y @insforge/cli backups latest [--project <id>] - show the most recent backup. Cloud prints the latest dump file with a presigned download URL; self-hosted prints the newest backup record (no download URL).
• npx -y @insforge/cli backups create [--name <name>] [--wait] [--project <id>] - create a backup. --name is optional; when provided it must be 1–64 chars. --wait blocks until it finishes instead of returning while queued.
• npx -y @insforge/cli backups rename <backupId> <name> [--project <id>] - rename a backup (pass "" to clear the name).
• npx -y @insforge/cli backups delete <backupId> [--project <id>] - delete a backup. Confirm intent first.
• npx -y @insforge/cli backups restore <backupId> [--project <id>] - restore the project from a backup. Confirm intent first. Cloud: OVERWRITES the project's current database and storage — all data written since the backup is lost. Self-hosted: database-only pg_restore --clean — data in backed-up tables is rewound, but tables created after the backup are NOT dropped and storage is untouched.

Storage

• npx -y @insforge/cli storage buckets - list buckets.
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage create-bucket <name> [--private] - create a bucket.
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage delete-bucket <name> - delete a bucket and all objects. Confirm destructive intent first.
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage list-objects <bucket> [--prefix] [--search] [--limit] [--sort] - inspect objects.
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage upload <file> --bucket <name> [--key <objectKey>] - upload an object.
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage download <objectKey> --bucket <name> [--output <path>] - download an object.
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage s3-keys list - list S3-compatible access keys (secret values are never shown).
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage s3-keys create [--description <text>] - create an S3 access key. The secret access key is shown ONCE on creation — capture it immediately.
• npx -y @insforge/cli storage s3-keys delete <id> - delete an S3 access key. Tools using it stop working. Confirm intent first.

For storage access-control behavior implemented through Postgres policies, use the storage-specific product docs or feature guidance. Do not treat storage internals as generic public-schema database tables unless the referenced storage docs explicitly say to.

Realtime

Create channel patterns, app-table publish triggers, and channel/message RLS through migrations. See references/realtime.md.

Edge Functions

• npx -y @insforge/cli functions list - list deployed functions.
• npx -y @insforge/cli functions code <slug> - view function source.
• npx -y @insforge/cli functions deploy <slug> --file <path> - deploy or update. See references/functions-deploy.md.
• npx -y @insforge/cli functions invoke <slug> [--data <json>] [--method GET|POST] - invoke a function.
• npx -y @insforge/cli functions delete <slug> - delete a function. Confirm destructive intent first.

AI Gateway

• npx -y @insforge/cli ai setup fetches the linked project's active OpenRouter key and writes OPENROUTER_API_KEY to a local server-side env file.
• npx -y @insforge/cli ai overview shows Model Gateway key usage: total spend, limit, remaining credit, daily/weekly/monthly spend, and per-model activity when observability is available. Figures are USD credits. Use it to answer "how much AI credit is left / being used".
• Keep OPENROUTER_API_KEY server-only. Never expose it as NEXT_PUBLIC_*, VITE_*, PUBLIC_*, or REACT_APP_*.

Memory

Every project has built-in agent memory: durable facts, decisions, preferences, and references that survive across sessions. Use it as a reflex, not an afterthought.

• npx -y @insforge/cli memory list - cheap title index (no AI call). Run at the start of a non-trivial task; recall any title relevant to the task.
• npx -y @insforge/cli memory recall "<query>" [--scope] [--limit] [--threshold] - semantic + keyword recall.
• npx -y @insforge/cli memory remember "<content>" [--kind] [--title] [--scope] [--source] - store one atomic memory. Record decisions and gotchas at the moment they happen, not at session end. --kind accepts only fact, decision, preference, or reference - store gotchas as fact (or decision when recording a choice).
• npx -y @insforge/cli memory remember --file <path> - extract durable memories from a transcript or notes file.

Storing is idempotent: re-remembering a known fact is a no-op, and a contradicting fact updates the existing memory instead of duplicating it - when the truth changes, just remember the new truth. See references/memory.md for what to store, kinds, and examples.

Payments

Use payments for Stripe/Razorpay backend setup and catalog sync. See references/payments/overview.md.

• Payments are provider-specific: use payments stripe ... or payments razorpay ... explicitly.
• Configure provider keys with payments <provider> config set; setting keys automatically syncs provider state when the key or account changes.
• Check key/account/sync/webhook health with payments <provider> status.
• Run payments <provider> sync to manually refresh or retry mirrored provider data.
• Stripe uses Products/Prices and supports managed webhook registration; Razorpay uses Items/Plans/Orders and requires manual webhook setup in the Razorpay Dashboard.
• Prefer test mode while building. Use live mode only after explicit user approval.
• If the backend reports payments unavailable, ask the user/admin to enable or upgrade payments. Do not work around it by storing provider keys as generic secrets or embedding payment secret keys in app code.
• Load references/payments/stripe.md or references/payments/razorpay.md before provider-specific setup.

Runtime checkout, subscriptions, customer portal flows, and app code belong in the insforge app-integration skill.

Deployments

Frontend deployments:

• Build locally first when the app has a build step.
• Ensure frontend runtime env vars are configured with the correct framework prefix before deployment.
• Use npx -y @insforge/cli deployments deploy <dir> for frontend source directories. Do not deploy generated output directories unless the deployment reference explicitly calls for it.
• See references/deployments/deploy.md.

Custom domains:

• Use npx -y @insforge/cli domains ... for custom domains, Cloudflare Registrar, DNS sync, and SSL verification.
• See references/deployments/domains.md.

Backend compute services:

• Use npx -y @insforge/cli compute ...; do not manage InsForge compute services directly with the user's own flyctl account.
• Use source mode for a directory with a Dockerfile, or image mode with --image <url> for a pre-built image.
• Use --env-file or repeatable env-set/update commands for secrets instead of large inline JSON.
• See references/compute-deploy.md.

Secrets

• npx -y @insforge/cli secrets list [--all] - list secret keys without values.
• npx -y @insforge/cli secrets get <key> - retrieve a secret value only when necessary.
• npx -y @insforge/cli secrets add <key> <value> [--reserved] [--expires <ISO date>] - create a secret.
• npx -y @insforge/cli secrets update <key> [--value] [--active] [--reserved] [--expires] - update a secret.
• npx -y @insforge/cli secrets delete <key> - soft-delete a secret. Confirm intent first.
• npx -y @insforge/cli secrets rotate <api-key|anon-key> [--grace-hours <n>] - rotate the project API key or anon key. The new key is printed ONCE — capture it. The old key keeps working during the grace period (server default if --grace-hours is omitted); update all consumers before it expires.

Schedules

• npx -y @insforge/cli schedules list/get/create/update/delete/logs.
• Use standard 5-field cron for wall-clock schedules.
• Use pg_cron interval syntax such as 30 seconds for sub-minute cadence. Six-field cron with seconds is not supported.
• Headers can reference InsForge secrets with ${{secrets.KEY_NAME}}.
• See references/schedules.md for cron formats, secret header references, examples, common mistakes, and the recommended setup workflow.

Branching

Use backend branches to test risky schema, RLS, auth, or function changes before applying them to production. See references/branch/overview.md.

Common commands:

• npx -y @insforge/cli branch create <name> [--mode full|schema-only] [--no-switch]
• npx -y @insforge/cli branch list
• npx -y @insforge/cli branch switch <name> or --parent
• npx -y @insforge/cli branch merge <name> [--dry-run] [--save-sql <path>]
• npx -y @insforge/cli branch reset <name>
• npx -y @insforge/cli branch delete <name>

Branching requires a backend version that supports it. If unavailable, report the backend version limitation instead of inventing a workaround.

Diagnostics and Logs

• npx -y @insforge/cli diagnose - full health report.
• npx -y @insforge/cli diagnose --ai "<issue description>" - ask the InsForge debug agent to diagnose a concrete backend issue.
• npx -y @insforge/cli diagnose metrics [--range 1h|6h|24h|7d] - EC2 metrics.
• npx -y @insforge/cli diagnose advisor [--severity critical|warning|info] [--category security|performance|health] - advisor issues. The Rule column is the id that advisor suppress takes.
• npx -y @insforge/cli diagnose db [--check <checks>] - database health checks.
• npx -y @insforge/cli diagnose logs [--source <name>] [--limit <n>] - aggregate error logs.
• npx -y @insforge/cli logs <source> [--limit <n>] - source-specific backend logs.

Typical log sources include function.logs, function-deploy.logs, postgres.logs, postgrest.logs, and insforge.logs. See references/diagnostics.md for common debugging scenarios and source selection.

Advisor

The backend advisor scans the project for security, performance, and health findings. Read results with diagnose advisor; manage scans and false positives with advisor:

• npx -y @insforge/cli advisor scan - trigger a scan now instead of waiting for the schedule. Use it to re-check immediately after fixing a finding. The scan runs asynchronously (typically well under a minute) — poll diagnose advisor --json until scan.status is completed and scan.scanId equals the id that advisor scan returned, then read the results.
• npx -y @insforge/cli advisor suppressions - list suppressed findings.
• npx -y @insforge/cli advisor suppress <ruleId> [--object <affectedObject>] --reason <reason> [--note <note>] - dismiss a finding with a recorded reason. With --object (the finding's Affected Object, verbatim) only that instance is suppressed; without it the whole rule is. --reason is one of false_positive | accepted_risk | wont_fix | other; --note is required for other. A suppression takes effect from the next scan (run advisor scan to see it applied). Only suppress findings the user has judged — never suppress to make a report look clean.
• npx -y @insforge/cli advisor unsuppress <suppressionId> - remove a suppression so the finding reappears on the next scan.

Feedback

When any part of the InsForge toolkit misbehaves — the backend platform, an SDK, the CLI, an agent skill, or the docs — report it to the InsForge team, then continue the task with a workaround. Only report InsForge-side issues, never problems in the user's own app code.

npx -y @insforge/cli feedback --json \
  --type bug \
  --component backend \
  --title "db policies create returns 500 on uppercase table names" \
  --detail "Creating an RLS policy on table \"Users\" returns 500; lowercase names work. Repro: create table with quoted uppercase name, then run policies create." \
  --area db \
  --command "insforge db policies create --table Users ..." \
  --error "<verbatim error output>" \
  --severity major

Required flags:

• --type: the kind of hurdle you hit. Map from your situation:
  • "This is not working" (it should, per docs/contract) → bug
  • "I was instructed to do X, but reality required an alternative" → also bug, with --doc (where the instruction lives), --expected (what it claimed), and --workaround (what worked instead) — you can't know whether the instructions are stale or the product regressed, and those three fields let the team disambiguate
  • "What I want to do is not supported" → feature-request
  • "It works, but it was confusing or awkward" (unhelpful error, forced detour) → friction
  • anything else → other
• --component: where in the toolkit it lives — backend (platform/hosted services) | sdk | cli | skills (agent skill content) | docs | other.
• --title and --detail (or --file <path>).

Optional flags:

• --language: required when --component sdk — which SDK, e.g. js, python, flutter, swift, kotlin, rest-api, or multiple if it spans SDKs. Also useful with --component docs for language-specific doc pages. Omit for other components.
• --area: product area — db | auth | storage | functions | deployments | billing | ai | realtime | payments. Orthogonal to --component: a broken storage upload in the Python SDK is --component sdk --language python --area storage.
• --workaround: the alternative you used to get past the hurdle — always include it when you found one; it tells the team how blocking the issue is and often becomes the doc fix.
• --command (the CLI/SDK call that surfaced it), --error (verbatim output; redacted and truncated automatically), --expected (what the docs/skill instructed or you expected) and --doc "<page or skill section>" for discrepancies, --severity blocker|major|minor (default minor).

Keep --detail concise and InsForge-focused: what happened, what you expected, minimal repro. Do not paste user app data — the CLI locally redacts common patterns (emails, known credential/key formats, secret assignments, public IPv4 addresses, home-directory usernames) and truncates long fields, but redaction is pattern-based: a safety net, not a license. No login required — works logged out and in OSS setups; project/org context is attached automatically when a cloud project is linked. Returns a feedback id on success (duplicate reports fold into the existing one and return its id).

Documentation

• npx -y @insforge/cli docs - list documentation topics.
• npx -y @insforge/cli docs instructions - setup guide.
• npx -y @insforge/cli docs <feature> <language> - feature docs for db, storage, functions, auth, ai, or realtime in typescript, swift, kotlin, or rest-api.

For application code with InsForge or @insforge/sdk, use the insforge app-integration skill and use docs only as official feature reference.

PostHog

• npx -y @insforge/cli posthog setup ensures the dashboard has a PostHog connection, then prints the official PostHog wizard command plus the connected project's public phc_ API key and host.
• ⚠️ posthog setup alone does NOT instrument the app: no env vars, no SDK, no events until the wizard step happens. The wizard is interactive and may open a browser; ask the user to run it in their real terminal, or instrument manually using the printed phc_ key/host (PostHog's public client key, safe in frontend env vars).
• Cloud only: self-hosted backends don't expose the integration. Do not substitute a phc_ key from a separate PostHog account into app env vars — the Analytics page reads from the server-side connection that only posthog setup populates; use the key it prints.

Apify web scraper

• npx -y @insforge/cli webscraper apify connect — one-time OAuth connect; stores a refreshable token in InsForge.
• npx -y @insforge/cli webscraper apify login — auth bridge: fetches the InsForge-managed token, runs apify login --token, and installs Apify's official agent skills. Never run plain apify login (browser OAuth). On any Apify 401 / "not logged in", re-run login.
• See references/webscraper/apify.md for the full scrape → land → schedule workflow and size-based landing strategy.

Non-Interactive CI/CD

Use env vars and JSON mode for automated contexts:

INSFORGE_EMAIL=$EMAIL INSFORGE_PASSWORD=$PASSWORD npx -y @insforge/cli login --email -y
npx -y @insforge/cli link --project-id $PROJECT_ID --org-id $ORG_ID -y
npx -y @insforge/cli db query "SELECT 1 AS ok" --json

Project Configuration File

After create or link, .insforge/project.json contains the linked project ID, app key, region, API key, and backend URL.

• Never commit .insforge/project.json or share it publicly.
• Do not edit it manually. Use npx -y @insforge/cli link or branch commands to switch projects.
