authjs-knowledge-patch

A reference guide for Auth.js, a library that adds sign-in, accounts, and sessions to web applications. It covers authentication providers, framework integration, adapters, migrations, and security.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing sign-in flows, OAuth providers, credentials, passkeys, sessions, database adapters, Auth.js upgrades, or a move to Better Auth.
Why use it?
It helps choose a maintained authentication approach and avoid provider, session, migration, and security mistakes.

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

authjs-knowledge-patch 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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auth.js Knowledge Patch

Use this patch to choose the maintained authentication path, avoid security-sensitive provider mistakes, and apply current Auth.js integration patterns. Read the topic reference before changing an affected flow; the quick reference prioritizes breaking behavior, security updates, and common implementation work.

Reference index

Reference Topics
Better Auth transition Project status, choosing Auth.js or Better Auth, migration direction
Providers and authentication Account linking, credentials errors, email providers, passkeys, OAuth customization, redirect proxies
Sessions and frameworks Session lifecycle, Qwik, SvelteKit, Express
v5 migration Next.js Pages Router limitations, Next.js 16 proxy protection
Adapters, operations, and security Adapter contracts, logging, security upgrade floors, v4 token and OAuth behavior

Choose the maintained project path

  • Prefer Better Auth for a new project.
  • Keep Auth.js for an existing application that needs continued security and urgent fixes, or when Better Auth still lacks a required capability such as stateless sessions without a database.
  • Use the NextAuth migration guide when moving an existing application to Better Auth.
  • Read Better Auth transition before making the choice.

Apply urgent compatibility and security fixes

Audit installed package versions before debugging provider or adapter behavior.

Package Required action Reason
@auth/sveltekit Upgrade to 1.11.1 or later Pull in the Nodemailer security fix.
next-auth v4 Upgrade to 4.24.14 or configure the GitHub issuer explicitly Accept GitHub callbacks containing the now-validated iss parameter.
@auth/kysely-adapter Upgrade to 1.11.2 and install kysely@^0.28.15 Address CVE-2026-33468, an SQL-injection vulnerability.

Files

What ships with it

6 files 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.

authjs-knowledge-patch is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nevaberry/nevaberry-plugins (24 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 2,266 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
