What it does, in the publisher's words
Use when adding, fixing, or improving how an app authenticates users or protects an API, or when using or configuring any Auth0 feature — signing users in and out, sessions and tokens, guarding routes and endpoints, MFA, passwordless passkey login (WebAuthn), SSO, Organizations, RBAC, custom domains, Universal Portals for hosted account and organization self-service, or Universal Login branding.
The description field of the SKILL.md. The agent reads only this at startup and decides from it when to load the full skill.
Install Auth0
The skills CLI copies the skill into the folder of each agent you pick (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Windsurf...). Add -g for all projects. Needs Node.js 22.20+. docs
npx skills add auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0
This repo is a plugin marketplace. Inside Claude Code, add it and install the plugin that holds the skill (auth0), or copy only this skill into ~/.claude/skills. docs
/plugin marketplace add auth0/agent-skills /plugin install <plugin>@auth0-agent-skills # or only this skill: npx skills add auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0 -a claude-code
Download the skill folder, zip it, then Customize > Skills > + > Create skill > Upload a skill. Code execution must be on (Settings > Capabilities). docs
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/auth0/agent-skills.git /tmp/auth0-src cp -r /tmp/auth0-src/plugins/auth0/skills/auth0 ./auth0 zip -r auth0.zip auth0
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills in the repo or ~/.agents/skills. Type $ in Codex to use one. docs
npx skills add auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0 -a codex
gh skill (GitHub CLI 2.90+, preview) installs it for Copilot in VS Code, the CLI and the cloud agent. Copilot also reads .github/skills and ~/.copilot/skills. docs
gh skill install auth0/agent-skills auth0
Cursor reads .cursor/skills, .agents/skills and ~/.cursor/skills (and .claude/skills). It does not install loose skills from a GitHub URL, so copy it in. docs
npx skills add auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0 -a cursor
Installs from the GitHub repo; --path picks this skill out of the repo. Default scope is user (all projects). docs
gemini skills install https://github.com/auth0/agent-skills.git --path plugins/auth0/skills/auth0
OpenCode reads .opencode/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills and the Claude and .agents folders. docs
npx skills add auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0 -a opencode
Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) reads .devin/skills, .windsurf/skills and ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills. docs
npx skills add auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0 -a windsurf
Works with
Claude Code, Claude.ai and Claude Desktop, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Windsurf and other agents that read the open Agent Skills format.
- Bundles 4 JavaScript/TypeScript scripts the agent can run, so it needs JavaScript and TypeScript on the machine. In the Claude apps, code execution must be on.
What's in the SKILL.md
- Step 1: Detect intent
- If nothing clearly matches
- Step 2: Detect framework
- Tier 1 — Auth0 SDK already installed (strongest signal)
- Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript — check package.json → dependencies
- Python — check requirements.txt or pyproject.toml
- Java / Kotlin — check build.gradle or pom.xml
- .NET — check *.csproj or NuGet.Config
- PHP — check composer.json
- Go — check go.mod
- Mobile (native)
- Tier 2 — Framework from non-Auth0 workspace dependencies
- Tier 3 — Framework from the prompt
- Variant disambiguation (web app vs API)
- If nothing matched
- Conflicts
- Step 3: Detect tooling
- Step 4: Load reference files
- integrate

- feature:passkeys
