Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned davila7/claude-code-templates at 79182c51fb.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to authenticate and manage user sessions using Clerk’s identity platform. It handles secure login flows, session persistence, and user profile retrieval directly within your application context.

When to use it

  • Implementing sign-up and sign-in pages for web or mobile applications without building custom authentication logic.
  • Managing multi-tenant access control where users need distinct roles and permissions handled by a central identity provider.
  • Integrating social logins (e.g., Google, GitHub) alongside email/password authentication to reduce friction during onboarding.
  • Synchronizing user metadata from Clerk to your backend database to maintain consistent user states across services.

Key capabilities

  • Unified Authentication: Supports multiple login methods including email, password, and social identity providers.
  • Session Management: Automatically handles token generation, refresh logic, and secure session expiration.
  • User Organization: Facilitates creating organizations and teams with granular member permissions.
  • Profile Handling: Retrieves and updates user metadata, avatars, and custom attributes dynamically.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a new Clerk instance for my project and configure the email/password login strategy."
  • "Create a function that checks if a user is authenticated via Clerk and retrieves their organization ID."
  • "Implement a sign-up flow that automatically assigns users to a default team upon registration."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your environment variables for Clerk API keys are securely stored before initializing the skill. Be aware that this skill relies on an active Clerk account; authentication will fail if the service is down or credentials are invalid.
