auth-implementation-patterns

auth-implementation-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from Ghosteken/agent-harness. It costs 23 tokens per session (332 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of auth-implementation-patterns, MIT.

A set of design patterns for verifying users and controlling what they can access in applications and APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding login, OAuth or social sign-in, single sign-on, session handling, role-based access, or security for REST and GraphQL APIs.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common identity and access mistakes involving passwords, login sessions, tokens, roles, and permissions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

auth-implementation-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Authentication & Authorization Implementation Patterns

Build secure, scalable authentication and authorization systems using industry-standard patterns and modern best practices.

Use this skill when

  • Implementing user authentication systems
  • Securing REST or GraphQL APIs
  • Adding OAuth2/social login or SSO
  • Designing session management or RBAC
  • Debugging authentication or authorization issues

Do not use this skill when

  • You only need UI copy or login page styling
  • The task is infrastructure-only without identity concerns
  • You cannot change auth policies or credential storage

Instructions

  • Define users, tenants, flows, and threat model constraints.
  • Choose auth strategy (session, JWT, OIDC) and token lifecycle.
  • Design authorization model and policy enforcement points.
  • Plan secrets storage, rotation, logging, and audit requirements.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Safety

  • Never log secrets, tokens, or credentials.
  • Enforce least privilege and secure storage for keys.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
