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

better-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 5d 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.

Better Auth Best Practices

Implementation and migration guide for Better Auth, the framework-agnostic TypeScript authentication and authorization library. This skill contains 42 rules organized by impact across 8 categories, derived from the official documentation and migration guides.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Setting up a fresh Better Auth instance (config, adapter, route handler, client)
  • Wiring framework-specific integrations (Next.js App/Pages Router, SvelteKit, Hono, Express, Nuxt, Astro)
  • Configuring sessions, cookies, and security (rate limit, trusted origins, password hashing)
  • Adding plugins: 2FA, organization, admin, magicLink, JWT, passkey, multi-session
  • Migrating from another auth library (NextAuth/Auth.js, Clerk, Auth0, Supabase Auth)
  • Debugging "session is null" / "redirect_uri_mismatch" / 403 CSRF errors
  • Reviewing PRs that touch lib/auth.ts, auth-client.ts, or /api/auth/ route handlers

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Setup & Configuration CRITICAL setup-
2 Database Adapters & Schema CRITICAL db-
3 API Route Handlers CRITICAL route-
4 Session & Cookies HIGH session-
5 Auth Methods & Providers HIGH auth-
6 Security & Hardening HIGH security-
7 Plugins & Extensions MEDIUM plugins-
8 Migration from Other Auth MEDIUM migrate-

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.
