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 ovachiever/droid-tings at 7acd12a754.

    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

better-auth

What it does

This skill integrates the better-auth library into AI agent workflows to handle secure authentication and session management. It enables agents to verify user identities, manage login states, and protect application endpoints with industry-standard security practices.

When to use it

  • Securing API Endpoints: Protecting sensitive routes that require user verification before processing requests.
  • User Session Management: Handling login, logout, and session persistence for multi-step agent interactions.
  • OAuth Integration: Implementing third-party authentication flows like Google or GitHub for easier user onboarding.
  • Role-Based Access Control: Restricting specific agent capabilities based on authenticated user roles or permissions.

Key capabilities

  • Unified authentication logic across different platforms and frameworks.
  • Built-in support for social logins (OAuth providers).
  • Automatic session token generation and validation.
  • Middleware hooks for intercepting and validating requests before execution.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a secure login flow using better-auth so the agent can verify my identity before accessing my project files."
  • "Configure OAuth authentication with Google to allow users to sign in directly via the agent interface."
  • "Implement session management logic that expires user tokens after 30 minutes of inactivity for security compliance."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your backend environment is properly configured with a valid secret key before initializing the better-auth instance, as this is critical for token signing. Be mindful of rate limiting settings to prevent brute-force attacks on authentication endpoints.
