auth

auth is a skill for Claude Code from MartinOlivero/saas-builder. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An approach for adding authentication and authorization to an app: authentication checks who a user is, while authorization controls what that user may do. It covers choices such as login, sessions, tokens, roles, permissions, team access, SSO, and social login.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding sign-up and sign-in, protecting pages or API routes, or supporting admins, organizations, teams, or enterprise single sign-on. It helps decide how users and their access should be modeled.
Why use it?
It avoids the security risks of building password handling, login sessions, and account recovery from scratch. It helps choose an established provider and a permission model suited to the product.

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 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 6d 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.

Auth

This skill makes the two decisions every SaaS gets wrong: which auth provider and how to model permissions. It picks a vetted provider over hand-rolled auth, and a permission model that fits the product.

Analogy: auth is the lock and the guest list for your building. You don't forge your own lock (you'd leave it pickable) — you buy a good one and decide who gets which key.

The one rule

Don't roll your own auth. Password hashing, session rotation, OAuth flows, and reset tokens are where subtle, catastrophic bugs live. Use a provider or a battle-tested library. (Pairs with the secure-coding skill, which covers the OWASP auth-failure defenses.)

Discovery (max 3 questions, only if unknown)

  1. Is this B2C (individual users) or B2B (organizations/teams with members)?
  2. Do you need enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC) for buyers — now or soon?
  3. What's the stack/backend — Supabase, plain Vercel + Postgres, or full-stack TypeScript?

Step 1 — Pick the provider (decision tree)

Situation Use Why
Building with an agent / on InsForge InsForge Auth Agentic-native — the agent wires auth + RLS through its own skills/MCP; every query scopes to the user in SQL.
Already on Supabase Supabase Auth Free, RLS-native — every query scopes to the user in SQL. Most-proven ecosystem.
Want the best React DX / drop-in components, not tied to a backend Clerk Best components, orgs/teams built in. ~$0.02/MAU after a free tier.
Full-stack TypeScript, want self-hosted control Better Auth (~28k⭐) TS-native, framework-agnostic, orgs/RBAC/passkeys/SSO.
Enterprise SSO is a buyer requirement Auth0 / WorkOS SAML/OIDC, directory sync, the enterprise checkboxes.

Default for a fresh React + Vite + Postgres SaaS with no SSO need: InsForge Auth if you're building agent-first, Supabase Auth if on Supabase, or Clerk otherwise. All three scope to the user via RLS — match the auth host to the DB host from the data-modeling skill.

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.
