Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the system prompt for Firebase Studio exports, enhancing clarity and completeness. The changes aim to provide users with more precise guidance on application deployment, foundational documentation, AI feature integration, and critical security considerations, thereby streamlining development workflows and promoting best practices.

Highlights

  • Deployment Instructions: Updated migration guidelines to provide clearer instructions for deploying to Firebase App Hosting, specifying the correct firebase deploy command and explicitly warning against incorrect commands or deploying to Firebase Hosting.
  • Documentation Reference: Clarified the role of docs/blueprint.md as describing the app's original intent.
  • AI Feature Guidance: Reaffirmed the use of Genkit for AI features, consistent with existing configuration.
  • Security Reminder: Added an "Important" section to explicitly warn against displaying, logging, or committing sensitive credentials.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Code Review

This pull request refines the system prompt for the AI agent, providing more specific and clearer instructions for migrating and working with Firebase Studio projects. The changes include more explicit deployment commands, negative constraints to prevent common errors, and an important new section on handling sensitive credentials. My only suggestion is a minor grammatical correction to improve clarity in one of the instructions.

Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.

- Use Agent Skills to guide Firebase usage. If they are not available, install them by running `npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --skill "*" -y`

- When asked to deploy or publish the app, deploy to Firebase App Hosting using `firebase deploy`.
If you run into issues, ensure `firebase.json` contains a valid `apphosting` block (with `backendId` and `rootDir`).

If this is a capra workspace AND it was deployed already we expect to see some firebase.json info, otherwise it might be empty. In that case we should instruct the model to re-use these if available or instruct the user to run init apphosting I think
