Agent skills are structured instruction sets that help AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot implement Auth0 authentication correctly in your applications. They contain best practices, code patterns, and step-by-step guidance for Auth0 integration across multiple frameworks and platforms.

​
Why use agent skills?

Agent skills enable you to:
  • Accelerate development - Implement Auth0 authentication in minutes with AI-powered code generation
  • Follow best practices - Get production-ready code that follows Auth0’s recommended patterns
  • Support multiple frameworks - Use the same skills across React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and more
  • Migrate easily - Transition from other auth providers with guided migration workflows
  • Implement advanced features - Add multi-factor authentication and security features with expert guidance

​
Supported platforms

Auth0 agent skills support a wide range of frameworks and platforms:
  • Frontend: React, Vue, Angular, Vanilla JS (auth0-spa-js)
  • Backend: Next.js, Nuxt, Express, Flask, Fastify, FastAPI, Spring Boot, Java Servlet
  • Mobile: React Native, Expo, iOS (Swift), Android
  • APIs: Express (JWT Bearer), Fastify, FastAPI, Spring Boot, ASP.NET Core

​
Installation

Auth0 provides a single unified skill package containing all core and SDK skills:

​
Install with Skills CLI

The easiest way to install Auth0 agent skills is using the Skills CLI: 
npx skills add auth0/agent-skills
This command installs all Auth0 skills, making them available to your AI coding assistant.

​
Install in your AI coding assistant

Auth0 agent skills support Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Choose your platform:
Install Auth0 skills directly from the Plugins menu:
1

Open Claude Code settings

Navigate to Settings > Plugins in Claude Code.
2

Search for Auth0

Search for “Auth0” in the available plugins list.
3

Install the plugin

Install the Auth0 Agent Skills plugin.
Or install via the CLI:
claude

/plugin marketplace add auth0/agent-skills
/plugin install auth0@auth0-agent-skills
Installing skills as a plugin (recommended for enterprise users) ensures they stay up to date automatically.

​
Manual installation

You can also install skills manually by cloning the repository: 
git clone https://github.com/auth0/agent-skills.git
cp -r agent-skills/plugins/auth0/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

​
Using agent skills

Once installed, you can use Auth0 agent skills by making natural language requests to your AI coding assistant. The assistant will automatically select and apply the appropriate skills.

​
Example prompts

Getting started with a new integration: 
Add Auth0 authentication to my React app
Implementing specific features: 
Add multi-factor authentication with TOTP support
Migrating from another provider: 
Help me migrate from Firebase Auth to Auth0
Framework-specific requests: 
Set up Auth0 in my Next.js App Router project with protected routes
The quickstart router skill automatically detects your framework and routes to the appropriate SDK guide, so you don’t need to specify which skill to use.

​
How agent skills work

Agent skills follow a structured workflow:
1

Framework detection

The AI assistant analyzes your project files to identify your framework, dependencies, and setup.
2

Skill selection

Based on your request and detected framework, the assistant selects the appropriate Auth0 skill.
3

Code generation

The skill provides step-by-step guidance and code patterns that the assistant uses to generate production-ready code.
4

Configuration

The assistant helps you configure Auth0 settings, environment variables, and SDK options.
5

Verification

You can test the implementation and ask the assistant to make adjustments as needed.

​
Best practices

When working with Auth0 agent skills:
  • Start with clean state - Skills work best in projects with clear structure and up-to-date dependencies
  • Review generated code - Always review the code generated by your AI assistant before deploying
  • Follow prompts - The assistant may ask for your Auth0 domain, client ID, and other configuration values
  • Test thoroughly - Verify authentication flows work correctly in your development environment
  • Consult documentation - Reference the full Auth0 documentation for advanced configuration and troubleshooting

​
Limitations and considerations

  • AI assistant required - Agent skills work with AI coding assistants and are not standalone tools
  • Project context - Skills work best when the AI assistant has access to your full project context
  • Manual configuration - You’ll still need to configure your Auth0 tenant and create applications in the Auth0 Dashboard
  • Framework versions - Skills target recent stable versions of frameworks; very old or experimental versions may require manual adjustments
