Description
convex-auth is an agent skill for adding sign-in to an app built on Convex. It installs and wires the @convex-dev/auth library for the current app, covering a provider, the server configuration, the client hooks and a sign-in interface. Passkeys are the default provider, and the skill can also set up password or OAuth sign-in with a provider such as Google when the user asks for it. The skill's main focus is the auth.config.ts file, which the skill calls the most common real-world auth mistake, so it checks that file carefully. The workflow adds the library to convex.config.ts, adds the chosen provider in convex/auth.ts, and generates the auth keys without the interactive wizard, because the skill says the wizard needs a terminal that an agent cannot use. With pnpm, the skill also installs the jose package, which the auth setup needs. It is part of the get-convex agent-skills repository and is added to a compatible agent with the skills command. The audits passed with Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. It is useful for developers who want working sign-in on a Convex app without debugging the configuration by hand.…
