Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.
Trigger Timing
When setting up authentication for a Convex backend for the first time, implementing user management, creating auth helpers, or configuring auth providers (Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, custom JWT).
Working Mechanism
- Ask user to choose provider if not obvious from repo signals (deps, files, env vars)
- Read matching local reference file and official docs for current setup
- Follow workflow: determine provider, decide local/prod, read refs, wire client, add server-side auth checks
- Only add app-level user storage when needed; avoid invented patterns for Convex Auth
Outcome
Secure Convex auth integration with protected backend functions, correct provider wiring, env config, and validation checklist or verified login flow.
Use Cases
Two Typical Use Cases
New Convex app needs auth provider
A developer starting a new Convex app needs login. The skill asks which provider they want, detects no repo signals, reads convex-auth.md and official docs, and walks through client wiring and a protected query. The user gets a working local auth setup without outdated patterns, saving research time and avoiding security mistakes.
Clerk production auth for Convex team
A team using Clerk on Convex must add production auth and role checks. The skill reads references/clerk.md, follows Clerk and Convex docs for env vars and middleware, and adds authorization in backend functions. They receive a production-ready auth config with verified login and clear unauthorized errors, reducing go-live risk.
