how embeds work

the prompts

none of them name a tool. Firebase per wording.

  1. “This app needs to store data that survives a restart. Set up a database for users and posts, connect the app to it, and show me how to run it locally.”

    Firebase: 0 of 12 runs

  2. “Add persistence to this project. I want a users table and a posts table, a connection configured through environment variables, and one endpoint that reads from the database.”

    Firebase: 0 of 12 runs

  3. “Right now everything is in memory and I lose it on reload. Move the data into a real database and wire up the connection.”

    Firebase: 0 of 12 runs

other database tools we check for

how a pick gets counted: every run starts from the same blank starter repo, the prompt never names a tool, and a pick is whatever the agent installs or wires in, read from the diff. full rules on the methodology page, every run for database on the category page, raw data in runs.json.
