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 epicenterhq/epicenter at f9441c8f6d.

    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 provides best practices for implementing secure authentication in AI agent applications. It covers topics such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), passwordless login, and secure storage of credentials. The goal is to help developers build more robust and trustworthy AI agents by mitigating common security vulnerabilities related to user authentication.

When to use it

  • When designing the authentication flow for a new AI agent application.
  • To review existing authentication implementations and identify potential weaknesses.
  • During security audits or penetration testing of an AI agent system.
  • When integrating with third-party services that require secure user authentication.

Key capabilities

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) guidance
  • Passwordless Login recommendations
  • Secure Credential Storage best practices
  • Authentication Flow Design advice

Example prompts

  • "What are the key considerations for implementing MFA in my AI agent?"
  • "Can you outline a secure passwordless login flow for an AI application?"
  • "How should I securely store user credentials when building an AI agent?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes some basic understanding of authentication concepts. Always consult with security experts and follow industry-standard guidelines to ensure the highest level of security.
