+# Cloud Functions for Firebase setup guide
+
+This guide provides a step-by-step process for setting up a new Firebase Functions project, tailored for a coding agent.
+
+## 1. Create a 2nd-gen HTTP function
+
+Replace the contents of `src/index.ts` (or `index.js`) with the following code to create a simple, modern v2 HTTP endpoint.
+
+```typescript
+import { onRequest } from "firebase-functions/https";
+import * as logger from "firebase-functions/logger";
+import { defineString } from "firebase-functions/params";
+
+// Define a configuration parameter for a greeting
+const greeting = defineString("GREETING", { default: "Hello" });
+
+export const helloWorld = onRequest({ maxInstances: 1 }, async (request, response) => {
+  logger.info("Request received!", { structuredData: true });
+  response.send(`${greeting.value()} from Firebase!`);
+});
+```
+
+**Key points for the agent:**
+
+- Always import from `firebase-functions/*` for new functions.
+- Use `logger` for structured logging.
+- Use `defineString`, `defineInt`, `defineSecret` for environment configuration instead of `functions.config()`.
+
+## 2. Build TypeScript
+
+Compile your TypeScript code to JavaScript.
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+## 3. Local Development and Testing
+
+Use the Firebase Emulators to test your function locally before deploying.
+
+Tell the user to run the following command in a separate terminal window to start the emulators:
+
+```bash
+# Start the functions emulator
+firebase emulators:start --only functions
+```
+
+The user can then interact with the function at the local URL provided by the emulator.
+
+## 4. Deploy to Firebase
+
+Once testing is complete, deploy the function to your Firebase project.
+
+```bash
+# Deploy only the functions
+firebase deploy --only functions
+```
+
+The agent will be prompted to set any parameters defined with `defineString` or other `define` functions that do not have a default value.

+# Upgrading a Firebase Function to 2nd Gen
+
+This guide provides a step-by-step process for migrating a single Cloud Function from 1st to 2nd generation. Migrate functions incrementally, running both generations side-by-side.
+
+## 1. Identify a 1st-gen function to upgrade
+
+Find all 1st-gen functions in the directory. 1st-gen functions used a namespaced API like this:
+
+**Before (1st Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+import * as functions from "firebase-functions";
+
+export const webhook = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+Sometimes, they'll explicitly import from the `firebase-functions/v1` subpackage, but not always.
+
+Ask the user to pick a **single** function to upgrade from the list of 1st gen functions you found.
+
+## 2. Update Dependencies
+
+Ensure your `firebase-functions` and `firebase-admin` SDKs are up-to-date, and you are using a recent version of the Firebase CLI.
+
+## 3. Modify Imports
+
+Update your import statements to use the top-level modules.
+
+**After (2nd Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+import { onRequest } from "firebase-functions/https";
+```
+
+## 4. Update Trigger Definition
+
+The SDK is now more modular. Update your trigger definition accordingly.
+
+**After (2nd Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+export const webhook = onRequest((request, response) => {
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+Here are other examples of trigger changes:
+
+### Callable Triggers
+
+**Before (1st Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+export const getprofile = functions.https.onCall((data, context) => {
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+**After (2nd Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+import { onCall } from "firebase-functions/https";
+
+export const getprofile = onCall((request) => {
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+### Background Triggers (Pub/Sub)
+
+**Before (1st Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+export const hellopubsub = functions.pubsub.topic("topic-name").onPublish((message) => {
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+**After (2nd Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+import { onMessagePublished } from "firebase-functions/pubsub";
+
+export const hellopubsub = onMessagePublished("topic-name", (event) => {
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+## 5. Use Parameterized Configuration
+
+Migrate from `functions.config()` to the new `params` module for environment configuration.
+
+**Before (`.runtimeconfig.json`):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "someservice": {
+    "key": "somesecret"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**And in code (1st Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+const SKEY = functions.config().someservice.key;
+```
+
+**After (2nd Gen):**
+Define params in your code and set their values during deployment.
+
+**In `index.ts`:**
+
+```typescript
+import { defineString } from "firebase-functions/params";
+
+const SOMESERVICE_KEY = defineString("SOMESERVICE_KEY");
+```
+
+Use `SOMESERVICE_KEY.value()` to access the value. For secrets like API keys, use `defineSecret`.
+
+**In `index.ts`:**
+
+```typescript
+import { defineSecret } from "firebase-functions/params";
+
+const SOMESERVICE_KEY = defineSecret("SOMESERVICE_KEY");
+```
+
+You will be prompted to set the value on deployment, which is stored securely in Cloud Secret Manager.
+
+## 6. Update Runtime Options
+
+Runtime options are now set directly within the function definition.
+
+**Before (1st Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+export const func = functions
+  .runWith({
+    // Keep 5 instances warm
+    minInstances: 5,
+  })
+  .https.onRequest((request, response) => {
+    // ...
+  });
+```
+
+**After (2nd Gen):**
+
+```typescript
+import { onRequest } from "firebase-functions/https";
+
+export const func = onRequest(
+  {
+    // Keep 5 instances warm
+    minInstances: 5,
+  },
+  (request, response) => {
+    // ...
+  }
+);
+```
+
+## 7. Traffic Migration
+
+Tell the user these steps to migrate safely:
+
+> To migrate traffic safely:
+>
+> 1.  Rename your new 2nd gen function with a different name.
+> 2.  Comment out any existing `minInstances` or `maxInstances` config and instead set `maxInstances` to `1` while testing.
+> 3.  Deploy it alongside the old 1st gen function.
+> 4.  Gradually introduce traffic to the new function (e.g., via client-side changes or by calling it from the 1st gen function).
+> 5.  Add back the original `minInstances` and `maxInstances` settings to the 2nd gen function.
+> 6.  Once you are confident, you can delete the 1st gen function.

+## Key Guidelines
+
+- Always use 2nd-gen functions for new development.
+- Use v1 functions _only_ for Analytics, basic Auth, and Test Lab triggers.
+- Use `firebase-functions` SDK version 6.0.0 and above
+- Use top-level imports (e.g., `firebase-functions/https`). These are 2nd gen by default.
+
+## Configuration: Use Secret Params for API Keys
+
+For sensitive information like API keys (e.g., for LLMs, payment providers, etc.), **always** use `defineSecret`. This stores the value securely in Cloud Secret Manager.
+
+```typescript
+import { onRequest } from "firebase-functions/https";
+import { logger } from "firebase-functions/logger";
+import { defineString, defineSecret } from "firebase-functions/params";
+
+// Securely define an LLM API key
+const LLM_API_KEY = defineSecret("LLM_API_KEY");
+
+// Example function that uses the secret
+export const callLlm = onRequest({ secrets: [LLM_API_KEY] }, async (req, res) => {
+  const apiKey = LLM_API_KEY.value();
+
+  // Use the apiKey to make a call to the LLM service
+  logger.info("Calling LLM with API key.");
+
+  // insert code here to call LLM...
+
+  res.send("LLM API call initiated.");
+});
+```
+
+When you deploy a function with `secrets`, the CLI will prompt you to enter the secret's value.
+
+## Use the Firebase Admin SDK
+
+To interact with Firebase services like Firestore, Auth, or RTDB from within your functions, you need to initialize the Firebase Admin SDK. Call `initializeApp` without any arguments so that Application Default Credentials are used.
+
+1.  **Install the SDK:**
+
+    ```bash
+    npm i firebase-admin
+    ```
+
+2.  **Initialize in your code:**
+
+    ```typescript
+    import * as admin from "firebase-admin";
+
+    admin.initializeApp();
+    ```
+
+    This should be done once at the top level of your `index.ts` file.
+
+## Common Imports
+
+```typescript
+// HTTPS, Firestore, RTDB, Scheduled, Storage, Pub/Sub, Auth, Logging, Config
+import { onRequest } from "firebase-functions/https";
+import { onDocumentUpdated } from "firebase-functions/firestore";
+import { onValueWritten } from "firebase-functions/database";
+import { onSchedule } from "firebase-functions/scheduler";
+import { onObjectFinalized } from "firebase-functions/storage";
+import { onMessagePublished } from "firebase-functions/pubsub";
+import { beforeUserSignedIn } from "firebase-functions/identity";
+import { logger, onInit } from "firebase-functions";
+import { defineString, defineSecret } from "firebase-functions/params";
+```
+
+## 1st-gen Functions (Legacy Triggers)\*\*
+
+Use the `firebase-functions/v1` import for Analytics and basic Auth triggers. These aren't supported in 2nd gen.
+
+```typescript
+import * as functionsV1 from "firebase-functions/v1";
+
+// v1 Analytics trigger
+export const onPurchase = functionsV1.analytics.event("purchase").onLog(async (event) => {
+  logger.info("Purchase event", { value: event.params?.value });
+});
+
+// v1 Auth trigger
+export const onUserCreate = functionsV1.auth.user().onCreate(async (user) => {
+  logger.info("User created", { uid: user.uid });
+});
+```
+
+## Development Commands
+
+````bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Compile TypeScript
+npm run build
+
+# Run emulators for local development
+# Tell the user to run the following command to start the emulators:
+```bash
+firebase emulators:start --only functions
+````
+
+# Deploy functions
+
+firebase deploy --only functions
+
+```
+
+```
