Agentic Plugin Marketplace is a collection of reusable plugins, agents, skills, commands, and rules for coding-agent tools including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, and GitHub Copilot. It is for developers assembling agentic workflows across multiple harnesses from shared Markdown sources, and the catalogue entries are examples or subsets of those workflow components.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 66 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00046 | $0.00594 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00238 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00119 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00059 |
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 1mo 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.

Authentication & Authorization Implementation Patterns
Build secure, scalable authentication and authorization systems using industry-standard patterns and modern best practices.
When to Use This Skill
- Implementing user authentication systems
- Securing REST or GraphQL APIs
- Adding OAuth2/social login
- Implementing role-based access control (RBAC)
- Designing session management
- Migrating authentication systems
- Debugging auth issues
- Implementing SSO or multi-tenancy
Core Concepts
1. Authentication vs Authorization
Authentication (AuthN): Who are you?
- Verifying identity (username/password, OAuth, biometrics)
- Issuing credentials (sessions, tokens)
- Managing login/logout
Authorization (AuthZ): What can you do?
- Permission checking
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Resource ownership validation
- Policy enforcement
2. Authentication Strategies
Session-Based:
- Server stores session state
- Session ID in cookie
- Traditional, simple, stateful
Token-Based (JWT):
- Stateless, self-contained
- Scales horizontally
- Can store claims
OAuth2/OpenID Connect:
- Delegate authentication
- Social login (Google, GitHub)
- Enterprise SSO
Detailed patterns and worked examples
Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.
Best Practices
- Never Store Plain Passwords: Always hash with bcrypt/argon2
- Use HTTPS: Encrypt data in transit
- Short-Lived Access Tokens: 15-30 minutes max
- Secure Cookies: httpOnly, secure, sameSite flags
- Validate All Input: Email format, password strength
- Rate Limit Auth Endpoints: Prevent brute force attacks
- Implement CSRF Protection: For session-based auth
- Rotate Secrets Regularly: JWT secrets, session secrets
- Log Security Events: Login attempts, failed auth
- Use MFA When Possible: Extra security layer
Common Pitfalls
- Weak Passwords: Enforce strong password policies
- JWT in localStorage: Vulnerable to XSS, use httpOnly cookies
- No Token Expiration: Tokens should expire
- Client-Side Auth Checks Only: Always validate server-side
- Insecure Password Reset: Use secure tokens with expiration
- No Rate Limiting: Vulnerable to brute force
- Trusting Client Data: Always validate on server
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.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 84 lines · 46 tokens per session scan A 1fc61d6074ac
auth-implementation-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository wshobson/agents (41,158 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 594 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
