Encore Go Auth

The encore-go-auth skill provides authentication and authorization features specifically designed for Encore Go applications, streamlining secure access control within your infrastructure. It enables developers to integrate robust identity management directly into their backend services without building custom security layers from scratch.

When to use it

• Securing API endpoints in Go-based Encore applications that require user verification.
• Implementing role-based access control (RBAC) for internal microservices communicating over the network.
• Protecting sensitive resources by enforcing authentication before data retrieval or modification.
• Standardizing login flows across multiple services within an Encore ecosystem.

Key capabilities

• Native integration with Encore's infrastructure as code approach.
• Support for Go language specific authentication patterns.
• Simplified implementation of secure user sessions and tokens.
• Centralized management of access policies for distributed services.

Example prompts

• "Set up user authentication for my new Encore Go API using the encore-go-auth skill."
• "How do I restrict access to a specific service endpoint so only authenticated users can call it?"
• "Generate the necessary configuration to enable secure login flows in my Encore application."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Encore environment is properly configured for identity management before deploying this skill. This tool is strictly scoped to Go applications within the Encore platform; it will not function with standard Go servers or other frameworks outside of that ecosystem.
