What It Does
Section titled “What It Does”better-auth-best-practices provides authoritative configuration guidance for Better Auth (server/client setup, database adapters, sessions, plugins, environment variables, email flows, security, hooks, and client usage). The skill instructs agents to always consult the official better-auth.com/docs and re-run the @better-auth/cli after plugin changes. It is triggered by mentions of Better Auth, betterauth, auth.ts, or TypeScript auth setup needs.
