Auth Setup

What it does

This skill configures authentication within a Convex backend, enabling secure user management and session handling. It establishes the necessary infrastructure for AI agents to interact with protected resources on behalf of authenticated users.

When to use it

• You need to implement login, logout, or registration flows in your application.
• Your AI agent requires access to private data that should only be visible to logged-in users.
• You are building a multi-user platform where session persistence is critical for stateful interactions.
• You want to integrate Convex's built-in security features without writing custom authentication logic from scratch.

Key capabilities

• Configures user authentication providers within the Convex environment.
• Sets up session management and token validation mechanisms.
• Enables secure access control for backend functions based on user identity.
• Simplifies the integration of standard auth patterns into serverless architectures.

Example prompts

• "Set up email-based authentication for my new Convex project."
• "Configure OAuth2 login so users can sign in with Google using Convex."
• "Initialize the auth setup to allow my AI agent to fetch private user profiles securely."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Convex environment is properly initialized before running this skill, as it relies on specific backend configurations. Always verify that your authentication provider credentials are correctly stored and secured in your environment variables after installation.
