Better Auth Authentication

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to handle secure user authentication using the better-auth library. It manages login sessions, token validation, and user identity verification across web applications.

When to use it

• Implementing secure sign-in flows for new web projects requiring email or OAuth providers.
• Managing session persistence and token refresh logic for long-running agent interactions.
• Integrating existing better-auth instances into AI workflows that require protected endpoints.
• Handling user registration and profile management within a trusted authentication framework.

Key capabilities

• Seamless integration with the better-auth ecosystem for standardized security practices.
• Support for multiple authentication providers including email/password and OAuth.
• Automatic session management and secure token handling.
• Centralized configuration for access control and user permissions.

Example prompts

• "Set up a secure login page using better-auth for my new dashboard application."
• "How do I configure OAuth2 authentication with Google using the better-auth skill?"
• "Create a function to validate a user session token before granting API access."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your backend environment has better-auth installed and configured before deploying agents relying on this skill. Always verify that environment variables for secrets (like database URLs or OAuth client IDs) are securely set, as the skill depends on proper initialization of the underlying library.
