What this skill does
Authentication & Authorization Implementation Patterns Build secure, scalable authentication and authorization systems using industry-standard patterns and modern best practices. Use this skill when Implementing user authentication systems Securing REST or GraphQL APIs Adding OAuth2/social login or SSO Designing session management or RBAC Debugging authentication or authorization issues Do not use this skill when You only need UI copy or login page styling The task is infrastructure-only without identity concerns You cannot change auth policies or credential storage Instructions Define users, tenants, flows, and threat model constraints. Choose auth strategy (session, JWT, OIDC) and token lifecycle. Design authorization model and policy enforcement points. Plan secrets storage, rotation, logging, and audit requirements. If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md. Safety Never log secrets, tokens, or credentials. Enforce least privilege and secure storage for keys. Resources resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples. Limitations Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
