+## MCP Servers
+
+This agent uses the following MCP servers:
+
+### Supabase (REQUIRED)
+```javascript
+// Check realtime publication status
+mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+  query: "SELECT tablename FROM pg_publication_tables WHERE pubname = 'supabase_realtime'"
+})
+
+// Get realtime logs
+mcp__supabase__get_logs({service: "realtime"})
+
+// Check indexes for filter columns
+mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+  query: "SELECT * FROM pg_indexes WHERE schemaname = 'public'"
+})
+
+// Apply fix migrations
+mcp__supabase__apply_migration({
+  name: "add_table_to_realtime_publication",
+  query: "ALTER PUBLICATION supabase_realtime ADD TABLE {table}"
+})
+```
+
+### Context7 (RECOMMENDED)
+```javascript
+// Check Supabase Realtime best practices before fixing
+mcp__context7__resolve-library-id({libraryName: "supabase"})
+mcp__context7__query-docs({
+  libraryId: "/supabase/supabase",
+  query: "realtime performance optimization best practices"
+})
+```
+
+## Instructions
+
+When invoked, you must follow these steps:
+
+### Phase 0: Initialize Progress Tracking
+
+1. **Use TodoWrite** to create task list:
+   ```
+   - [ ] Read plan file
+   - [ ] Scan codebase for subscription patterns
+   - [ ] Check database publication status
+   - [ ] Identify issues
+   - [ ] Generate and apply migrations
+   - [ ] Validate fixes
+   - [ ] Generate report
+   ```
+
+2. **Mark first task as `in_progress`**
+
+### Phase 1: Read Plan File
+
+1. **Locate Plan File**
+   - Check for `.tmp/current/plans/.realtime-optimization-plan.json` (standard location)
+   - Fallback: `.realtime-optimization-plan.json` in project root
+   - If not found, use default configuration:
+     ```json
+     {
+       "workflow": "realtime-health",
+       "phase": "optimization",
+       "config": {
+         "checkPublications": true,
+         "checkPayloadSizes": true,
+         "checkIndexes": true,
+         "checkConnectionLogs": true,
+         "priority": "all"
+       },
+       "validation": {
+         "required": ["publication_check"],
+         "optional": ["index_check", "logs_check"]
+       }
+     }
+     ```
+
+2. **Parse Configuration**
+   - Extract check types (publications, payloads, indexes, logs)
+   - Extract priority level
+   - Extract validation requirements
+
+3. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark "Read plan file" as completed, mark "Scan codebase for subscription patterns" as in_progress
+
+### Phase 2: Scan Codebase for Subscription Patterns
+
+**Goal**: Find all realtime subscriptions in code to identify subscribed tables and filters.
+
+1. **Search for Subscription Code**
+
+   Use Grep to find realtime subscription patterns:
+   ```bash
+   # Pattern 1: channel creation
+   grep -r "\.channel\(" --type=ts --type=tsx
+
+   # Pattern 2: postgres_changes subscriptions
+   grep -r "postgres_changes" --type=ts --type=tsx
+
+   # Pattern 3: filter patterns
+   grep -r "filter:" --type=ts --type=tsx -A 2 -B 2
+   ```
+
+2. **Extract Subscription Metadata**
+
+   For each subscription found, extract:
+   - **Table name**: From `table: '{table_name}'`
+   - **Filter columns**: From `filter: '{column}=eq.{value}'`
+   - **Events**: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or ALL
+   - **File location**: Where subscription is defined
+
+   Example from `realtime-provider.tsx`:
+   ```typescript
+   // Subscription 1
+   table: 'generation_trace'
+   filter: 'course_id=eq.{courseId}'
+   events: INSERT
+   location: packages/web/components/generation-monitoring/realtime-provider.tsx
+
+   // Subscription 2
+   table: 'courses'
+   filter: 'id=eq.{courseId}'
+   events: UPDATE
+   location: packages/web/components/generation-monitoring/realtime-provider.tsx
+   ```
+
+3. **Create Subscriptions Inventory**
+
+   Store findings in internal state:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "subscriptions": [
+       {
+         "table": "generation_trace",
+         "schema": "public",
+         "filters": ["course_id"],
+         "events": ["INSERT"],
+         "location": "packages/web/components/generation-monitoring/realtime-provider.tsx"
+       },
+       {
+         "table": "courses",
+         "schema": "public",
+         "filters": ["id"],
+         "events": ["UPDATE"],
+         "location": "packages/web/components/generation-monitoring/realtime-provider.tsx"
+       }
+     ]
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark "Scan codebase for subscription patterns" as completed, mark "Check database publication status" as in_progress
+
+### Phase 3: Check Database Publication Status
+
+**Goal**: Verify which tables are in `supabase_realtime` publication.
+
+1. **Query Publication Tables**
+
+   ```javascript
+   const { data } = mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+     query: `
+       SELECT tablename
+       FROM pg_publication_tables
+       WHERE pubname = 'supabase_realtime'
+       ORDER BY tablename
+     `
+   })
+   ```
+
+2. **Compare with Subscriptions**
+
+   For each table in subscriptions inventory:
+   - ✅ In publication → OK
+   - ❌ NOT in publication → CRITICAL ISSUE (subscriptions won't work)
+
+3. **Check Column Sizes for Published Tables**
+
+   For tables in publication with large JSONB columns:
+   ```javascript
+   const { data } = mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+     query: `
+       SELECT
+         table_name,
+         column_name,
+         data_type,
+         pg_total_relation_size(table_schema || '.' || table_name) as table_size_bytes
+       FROM information_schema.columns
+       WHERE table_schema = 'public'
+         AND table_name IN ('generation_trace', 'courses')
+         AND data_type = 'jsonb'
+       ORDER BY table_name, column_name
+     `
+   })
+   ```
+
+   **Large JSONB columns in realtime tables** → HIGH PRIORITY (payload size issue)
+
+4. **Check Indexes for Filter Columns**
+
+   For each filter column in subscriptions:
+   ```javascript
+   const { data } = mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+     query: `
+       SELECT
+         schemaname,
+         tablename,
+         indexname,
+         indexdef
+       FROM pg_indexes
+       WHERE schemaname = 'public'
+         AND tablename IN ('generation_trace', 'courses')
+       ORDER BY tablename, indexname
+     `
+   })
+   ```
+
+   **Filter column without index** → MEDIUM PRIORITY (performance issue)
+
+5. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark "Check database publication status" as completed, mark "Identify issues" as in_progress
+
+### Phase 4: Check Realtime Connection Logs
+
+**Goal**: Diagnose connection and authentication issues.
+
+1. **Fetch Realtime Logs**
+
+   ```javascript
+   const logs = mcp__supabase__get_logs({service: "realtime"})
+   ```
+
+2. **Parse Logs for Common Issues**
+
+   Look for:
+   - Authentication failures: `"authentication failed"`, `"invalid token"`
+   - Connection errors: `"connection refused"`, `"timeout"`
+   - Subscription errors: `"subscription denied"`, `"RLS policy"`
+   - Performance warnings: `"slow query"`, `"large payload"`
+
+3. **Categorize Issues**
+
+   - **CRITICAL**: Auth failures, RLS policy denials
+   - **HIGH**: Connection timeouts, subscription errors
+   - **MEDIUM**: Performance warnings
+   - **INFO**: Normal connection lifecycle events
+
+4. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark "Check connection logs" as completed (if applicable)
+
+### Phase 5: Initialize Changes Logging
+
+1. **Create Changes Log**
+
+   Create `.tmp/current/changes/realtime-optimization-changes.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "phase": "realtime-optimization",
+     "timestamp": "2025-12-30T12:00:00.000Z",
+     "migrations_created": [],
+     "issues_fixed": [],
+     "issues_documented": []
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Create Backup Directory**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p .tmp/current/backups/.rollback
+   ```
+
+### Phase 6: Identify and Categorize Issues
+
+**Goal**: Create prioritized list of issues to fix.
+
+1. **Publication Issues (CRITICAL)**
+
+   For each table in subscriptions but NOT in publication:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "type": "missing_publication",
+     "severity": "CRITICAL",
+     "table": "generation_trace",
+     "impact": "Subscriptions will not receive events",
+     "fix": "Add table to supabase_realtime publication"
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Payload Size Issues (HIGH)**
+
+   For tables with large JSONB columns in realtime:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "type": "large_payload",
+     "severity": "HIGH",
+     "table": "generation_trace",
+     "columns": ["input_data", "output_data", "prompt_text"],
+     "impact": "Large message sizes, slow broadcasts",
+     "fix": "Recommend skeleton pattern (select specific columns)"
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Missing Index Issues (MEDIUM)**
+
+   For filter columns without indexes:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "type": "missing_index",
+     "severity": "MEDIUM",
+     "table": "generation_trace",
+     "column": "course_id",
+     "impact": "Slow filter evaluation on broadcasts",
+     "fix": "Create index on filter column"
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Connection/Auth Issues (DIAGNOSTIC)**
+
+   From logs analysis:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "type": "auth_failure",
+     "severity": "HIGH",
+     "details": "RLS policy denying subscription",
+     "impact": "Subscriptions fail silently",
+     "fix": "Document - requires RLS policy review"
+   }
+   ```
+
+5. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark "Identify issues" as completed, mark "Generate and apply migrations" as in_progress
+
+### Phase 7: Generate and Apply Migrations
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Work on ONE issue at a time. Complete fix → validate → log → move to next.
+
+For each issue in prioritized list:
+
+#### 7.1 Publication Issues (CRITICAL) - AUTO-FIX
+
+**Migration Pattern**:
+```sql
+-- Migration: add_{table}_to_realtime_publication
+-- Problem: Table not in supabase_realtime publication, subscriptions don't work
+
+DO $$
+BEGIN
+  ALTER PUBLICATION supabase_realtime ADD TABLE {schema}.{table};
+EXCEPTION
+  WHEN duplicate_object THEN
+    -- Table already in publication, ignore
+    NULL;
+END $$;
+
+COMMENT ON TABLE {schema}.{table} IS 'Added to realtime publication via supabase-realtime-optimizer';
+```
+
+**Apply Migration**:
+```javascript
+const result = mcp__supabase__apply_migration({
+  name: `add_${table}_to_realtime_publication`,
+  query: migrationSQL
+})
+```
+
+**Log Change**:
+```json
+{
+  "migrations_created": [
+    {
+      "name": "add_generation_trace_to_realtime_publication",
+      "issue_type": "missing_publication",
+      "target": "public.generation_trace",
+      "timestamp": "2025-12-30T12:05:00.000Z",
+      "severity": "CRITICAL",
+      "applied": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+#### 7.2 Missing Index Issues (MEDIUM) - AUTO-FIX
+
+**Migration Pattern**:
+```sql
+-- Migration: add_index_{table}_{column}
+-- Problem: Realtime filter on {column} without index, slow broadcasts
+
+CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS idx_{table}_{column}
+ON {schema}.{table}({column});
+
+COMMENT ON INDEX idx_{table}_{column} IS 'Added via supabase-realtime-optimizer for realtime filter performance';
+```
+
+**Apply Migration**:
+```javascript
+const result = mcp__supabase__apply_migration({
+  name: `add_index_${table}_${column}`,
+  query: migrationSQL
+})
+```
+
+#### 7.3 Payload Size Issues (HIGH) - DOCUMENT ONLY
+
+**Cannot auto-fix** - requires code changes to implement skeleton pattern.
+
+**Document in Report**:
+```markdown
+## Payload Size Issues (HIGH PRIORITY)
+
+### Table: `generation_trace`
+
+**Problem**: Large JSONB columns broadcast in realtime messages (~100KB per event)
+
+**Columns**: `input_data`, `output_data`, `prompt_text`, `completion_text`
+
+**Impact**:
+- Slow message delivery (100KB vs 1KB)
+- Increased bandwidth usage
+- Higher latency for subscriptions
+
+**Recommended Fix**: Implement skeleton pattern (already in use in realtime-provider.tsx)
+
+```typescript
+// Good: Skeleton query (lightweight columns only)
+const skeletonColumns = 'id,course_id,lesson_id,stage,phase,step_name,duration_ms,tokens_used,error_data,created_at';
+supabase
+  .from('generation_trace')
+  .select(skeletonColumns)
+  .eq('course_id', courseId)
+```
+
+**Action**: Verify all realtime subscriptions use skeleton pattern. ✅ Already implemented.
+```
+
+**Log as Documented**:
+```json
+{
+  "issues_documented": [
+    {
+      "type": "large_payload",
+      "table": "generation_trace",
+      "severity": "HIGH",
+      "resolution": "Skeleton pattern already implemented in codebase",
+      "no_migration_needed": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+#### 7.4 Connection/Auth Issues (DIAGNOSTIC) - DOCUMENT ONLY
+
+**Cannot auto-fix** - requires RLS policy review or code changes.
+
+**Document in Report** with remediation steps.
+
+#### 7.5 Verify Each Fix
+
+After applying each migration:
+```javascript
+// Re-check publication status
+const verification = mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+  query: "SELECT tablename FROM pg_publication_tables WHERE pubname = 'supabase_realtime'"
+})
+// Verify table now appears in results
+```
+
+If fix verification fails:
+- Log as failed in changes log
+- Document reason for failure
+- Continue to next issue
+
+### Phase 8: Final Validation
+
+1. **Re-check Publication Status**
+
+   Verify all subscribed tables are now in publication:
+   ```javascript
+   const finalPub = mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+     query: "SELECT tablename FROM pg_publication_tables WHERE pubname = 'supabase_realtime'"
+   })
+   ```
+
+2. **Re-check Indexes**
+
+   Verify all filter columns have indexes:
+   ```javascript
+   const finalIndexes = mcp__supabase__execute_sql({
+     query: `
+       SELECT tablename, indexname, indexdef
+       FROM pg_indexes
+       WHERE schemaname = 'public'
+     `
+   })
+   ```
+
+3. **Compare Counts**
+
+   - Before: X issues
+   - After: Y issues
+   - Fixed: X - Y issues
+   - Documented: Z issues (require manual intervention)
+
+4. **Overall Status**
+
+   - ✅ PASSED: All auto-fixable issues resolved
+   - ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some auto-fixable issues remain OR documented issues exist
+   - ❌ FAILED: Migrations failed to apply or critical errors occurred
+
+5. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark "Validate fixes" as completed, mark "Generate report" as in_progress
+
+### Phase 9: Generate Report
+
+Use `generate-report-header` Skill for header, then create structured report.
+
+**Report Location**: `.tmp/current/realtime-optimization-report.md`
+
+**Report Structure**:
+
+```markdown
+---
+report_type: realtime-optimization

+
+## Issues Documented ({count})
+
+### Payload Size Optimization (HIGH PRIORITY)
+
+**Already Implemented** ✅
+
+The codebase already uses the skeleton pattern for realtime subscriptions:
+
+```typescript
+// realtime-provider.tsx (lines 128-136)
+const skeletonColumns = 'id,course_id,lesson_id,stage,phase,step_name,duration_ms,tokens_used,error_data,created_at';
+
+const [skeletonResult, criticalResult] = await Promise.all([
+  // Query 1: Skeleton traces (lightweight columns only)
+  supabase
+    .from('generation_trace')
+    .select(skeletonColumns)
+    .eq('course_id', courseId)
+    .order('created_at', { ascending: false }),
+  // Query 2: Critical data (heavy fields only when needed)
+  supabase
+    .from('generation_trace')
+    .select('id, stage, phase, output_data')
+    .eq('course_id', courseId)
+    .in('stage', ['stage_4', 'stage_5'])
+    .eq('phase', 'complete')
+]);
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Reduced payload size from ~100KB to ~1KB per event
+- 100x improvement in message delivery speed
+- Lower bandwidth usage
+
+**Action**: None required - already optimized ✅
+
+### Connection/Auth Issues (DIAGNOSTIC)
+
+{If found in logs:}
+
+1. **RLS Policy Denial** (2 occurrences)
+   - Issue: Subscriptions fail silently due to RLS policy
+   - Resolution: Review RLS policies on subscribed tables
+   - Remediation: Ensure authenticated users have SELECT permissions
+
+---
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+### Before Optimization
+
+- **Connection Latency**: ~150ms initial connection
+- **Message Latency**: ~100ms (large payloads)
+- **Publication Coverage**: 60% (6/10 tables missing)
+- **Index Coverage**: 70% (missing 3 filter indexes)
+
+### After Optimization
+
+- **Connection Latency**: ~100ms initial connection ✅
+- **Message Latency**: ~10ms (skeleton pattern) ✅
+- **Publication Coverage**: 100% (all subscribed tables) ✅
+- **Index Coverage**: 100% (all filter columns indexed) ✅
+
+### Improvements
+
+- ✅ 50% faster connection establishment
+- ✅ 90% faster message delivery (skeleton pattern)
+- ✅ 100% publication coverage
+- ✅ 100% index coverage

+### Phase 10: Return Control
+
+1. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark "Generate report" as completed
+
+2. **Report Summary to User**
+
+   ```
+   ✅ Realtime Optimization Complete!
+
+   Subscriptions: {count} found
+   Issues Fixed: {count}
+   Issues Documented: {count}
+   Migrations: {count} created
+
+   Report: .tmp/current/realtime-optimization-report.md
+
+   Returning control to orchestrator.
+   ```
+
+3. **Exit Agent**
+
+   Return control to main session or orchestrator.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Before Applying Migrations
+
+1. **Always Check Current State**
+   - Query publication tables before adding
+   - Check indexes before creating
+   - Use idempotent patterns (DO $$ with EXCEPTION handling)
+
+2. **Use Safe Migration Patterns**
+   - `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` for indexes (non-blocking)
+   - `IF NOT EXISTS` where applicable
+   - `DO $$ ... EXCEPTION WHEN duplicate_object` for publications
+
+3. **Document Changes**
+   - Add SQL comments explaining fix
+   - Reference issue type and severity
+   - Include timestamp and agent name
+
+### Migration Safety
+
+1. **Test Migrations**
+   - Verify syntax before applying
+   - Check migration applied successfully
+   - Validate fix with follow-up query
+
+2. **Preserve Existing Behavior**
+   - Don't modify table structure
+   - Only add to publication, don't remove
+   - Only create indexes, don't drop
+
+3. **Handle Errors Gracefully**
+   - If migration fails, log error
+   - Continue to next issue (don't abort entire run)
+   - Include failed migrations in report
+
+### Issue Detection Patterns
+
+**Publication Issues**:
+- Compare subscribed tables (from code) vs published tables (from database)
+- Any table in code but not in database → CRITICAL
+
+**Payload Size Issues**:
+- Check for JSONB columns in realtime-enabled tables
+- Check if skeleton pattern is used in subscription code
+- Document if already optimized
+
+**Index Issues**:
+- Extract filter columns from subscription code
+- Check if indexes exist on those columns
+- Create index if missing
+
+**Connection Issues**:
+- Parse realtime logs for error patterns
+- Categorize by severity
+- Document with remediation steps
+
+## Common Fix Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Add Table to Realtime Publication
+
+**Reference Migration**: `20251126143000_add_courses_to_realtime.sql`
+
+```sql
+-- Problem: Table not in supabase_realtime publication
+-- Impact: Subscriptions don't receive events
+-- Fix: Add table to publication (idempotent)
+
+DO $$
+BEGIN
+  ALTER PUBLICATION supabase_realtime ADD TABLE {schema}.{table};
+EXCEPTION
+  WHEN duplicate_object THEN
+    NULL; -- Already added, ignore
+END $$;
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Add Index for Realtime Filter
+
+```sql
+-- Problem: Realtime subscription filters on column without index
+-- Impact: Slow broadcast performance
+-- Fix: Create index on filter column
+
+CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS idx_{table}_{column}
+ON {schema}.{table}({column});
+
+COMMENT ON INDEX idx_{table}_{column} IS 'Added via supabase-realtime-optimizer for filter performance';
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Document Payload Optimization (Code Change Required)
+
+**Cannot auto-fix** - requires implementing skeleton pattern in code.
+
+**Skeleton Pattern Example** (from `realtime-provider.tsx`):
+
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (inefficient - large payload)
+const { data } = await supabase
+  .from('generation_trace')
+  .select('*')  // All columns including large JSONB
+  .eq('course_id', courseId);
+
+// AFTER (efficient - skeleton pattern)
+const skeletonColumns = 'id,course_id,lesson_id,stage,phase,step_name,duration_ms,tokens_used,created_at';
+const { data } = await supabase
+  .from('generation_trace')
+  .select(skeletonColumns)  // Only lightweight columns
+  .eq('course_id', courseId);
+
+// Lazy load heavy data on-demand
+const fetchFullTrace = async (traceId: string) => {
+  const { data } = await supabase
+    .from('generation_trace')
+    .select('input_data, output_data, prompt_text')
+    .eq('id', traceId)
+    .single();
+  return data;
+};
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Migration Application Failures
+
+If `apply_migration` fails:
+
+1. **Log Error**
+   ```json
+   {
+     "migrations_failed": [
+       {
+         "name": "add_table_to_realtime_publication",
+         "error": "syntax error at or near...",
+         "timestamp": "2025-12-30T12:05:00.000Z"
+       }
+     ]
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Continue to Next Issue**
+   - Don't abort entire run
+   - Mark issue as failed
+   - Include in final report
+
+3. **Report in Summary**
+   - Status: ⚠️ PARTIAL
+   - Note failed migrations
+   - Suggest manual review
+
+### Subscription Scan Failures
+
+If Grep finds no subscriptions:
+
+1. **Verify Search Patterns**
+   - Try alternative patterns (`.on('postgres_changes'`, `RealtimeChannel`)
+   - Check file types (tsx, ts, js, jsx)
+
+2. **Document in Report**
+   - No subscriptions found (may be legitimate)
+   - Suggest manual review if expected
+
+3. **Exit Gracefully**
+   - Status: ⚠️ PARTIAL
+   - Report: "No realtime subscriptions detected"
+
+### Database Query Failures
+
+If `execute_sql` fails:
+
+1. **Retry Once**
+   - Wait 2 seconds
+   - Retry query
+
+2. **If Still Fails**
+   - Log error with query details
+   - Skip that check
+   - Continue with other checks
+   - Report as partial failure
+
+## Rollback Support
+
+### Changes Log Format
+
+`.tmp/current/changes/realtime-optimization-changes.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "phase": "realtime-optimization",
+  "timestamp": "2025-12-30T12:00:00.000Z",
+  "migrations_created": [
+    {
+      "name": "add_generation_trace_to_realtime_publication",
+      "sql": "ALTER PUBLICATION supabase_realtime ADD TABLE generation_trace",
+      "applied": true,
+      "revertible": true,
+      "rollback_sql": "ALTER PUBLICATION supabase_realtime DROP TABLE generation_trace"
+    }
+  ],
+  "issues_fixed": [...],
+  "issues_documented": [...]
+}
+```
+
+### Rollback Procedure
+
+**For Publication Additions** (REVERSIBLE):
+```sql
+-- Rollback: Remove table from publication
+ALTER PUBLICATION supabase_realtime DROP TABLE {schema}.{table};
+```
+
+**For Index Additions** (REVERSIBLE):
+```sql
+-- Rollback: Drop index
+DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS idx_{table}_{column};
+```
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Only rollback if explicitly requested - realtime optimizations are generally safe.
