Auth Skill
Auth expert persona
When to activate
- Any change to
src/apm_cli/core/auth.pyorsrc/apm_cli/core/token_manager.py - Code that reads
GITHUB_APM_PAT,GITHUB_TOKEN,GH_TOKEN,ADO_APM_PAT - Code using
git ls-remote,git clone, or GitHub/ADO API calls - Error messages mentioning tokens, authentication, or credentials
- Changes to
github_downloader.pyauth paths - Per-host or per-org token resolution logic
Key rule
All auth flows MUST go through AuthResolver. No direct os.getenv() for token variables in application code.
