better-auth-best-practices

Official Better Auth server/client setup, adapters, sessions, plugins, and environment variables. Prefer this over community Better Auth copies.

Quick Start

Install:

npx skills add better-auth/skills --skill better-auth-best-practices -y -g -a antigravity claude-code codex crush cursor gemini-cli github-copilot grok opencode

Use: /better-auth-best-practices

Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and other agentskills.io-compatible agents.

Curated external (hand-maintained)

Composed compose-external-wave-2 using authoring SSOT (docs/src/authoring/skills/better-auth-best-practices.mdx) + research. Do not run wagents docs generate on this file (HAND-MAINTAINED sentinel). Run /review source before using in production or promoting.

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.

Harness Coverage

Targets verified harnesses: antigravity, claude-code, codex, crush, cursor, gemini-cli, github-copilot, grok, opencode.

Portable multi-harness install command:

npx skills add better-auth/skills --skill better-auth-best-practices -y -g -a antigravity claude-code codex crush cursor gemini-cli github-copilot grok opencode
