Agent skill
auth-and-authorization-patterns
Use this skill when implementing authentication (login, token issuance) or authorization (access control, permissions). Apply whenever the task involves login flows, JWT, OAuth2, session management, or RBAC.

Auth & Authorization Patterns
Authentication (who are you?):
- Use a battle-tested library — do not roll your own crypto.
- Hash passwords with bcrypt/argon2; never MD5/SHA1 for passwords.
- Use short-lived JWTs (15–60 min) with refresh tokens; store refresh tokens securely.
- Implement MFA for sensitive operations.
Authorization (what can you do?):
- Check authorization on every request, not just at login.
- Enforce RBAC or ABAC at the service layer, not the UI.
- Apply principle of least privilege: grant minimal permissions needed.
OAuth2 / OIDC:
- Use the Authorization Code flow with PKCE for user-facing apps.
- Validate
iss,aud,exp, andnonceclaims on every token.
Session management:
- Regenerate session ID after login (session fixation prevention).
- Set
HttpOnlyandSecureflags on session cookies.
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
structured-progress-update
Use this skill when summarizing progress on an ongoing project or multi-step task. Give a clear, scannable status report whenever asked for an update or at the end of a work session.
async-communication-etiquette
Use this skill when writing messages in async channels (Slack, GitHub issues, email threads) where the reader may not have context and cannot ask follow-up questions immediately.
idempotent-script-design
Use this skill when writing scripts, cron jobs, data pipelines, or any automated process that may be run multiple times. Design every operation to be safely re-runnable without side effects.
secrets-management
Use this skill when handling API keys, passwords, tokens, private keys, or any sensitive credential. Never hardcode secrets in source code — apply this whenever the word "key", "token", "password", or "secret" appears in the task.
input-validation-and-sanitization
Use this skill when implementing any endpoint, form handler, CLI tool, or function that accepts external input. Validate and sanitize all untrusted data before processing — never assume input is safe.
graceful-error-recovery
Use this skill when a tool call, command, or API request fails. Diagnose the root cause systematically before retrying or changing approach. Do not retry the same failing call without first understanding why it failed.
