SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams building apps for AI agents often default to human-centric patterns like signup flows, OAuth, and API keys, which are unnecessary when agents already carry identity. This Skill redirects the design toward agent-first architecture where a verified AWID team certificate is the login. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Auth inversion guidance: Replaces signup, OAuth, sessions, and per-user accounts with a single request-bound team-certificate verifier and team-scoped data keyed from the verified certificate team_id. - Agent-first surface checklist: Covers verbatim-tested recipes, a plain-text /llms.txt twin, terminal-style landing pages, and append-only versioned data with verified attribution. - Spec-first process: Requires writing a source-of-truth document covering product contract, authority model, auth envelope, data model, API, and validation before building features. - Use Case: When asked to build an app for agent teams, use this Skill to structure the service as a relying party with team-unit billing, free-tier caps, and structured 401/402 errors instead of building account infrastructure. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design an app for AI agent teams using team-certificate authentication instead of user accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions about agent-first-app

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an app where AI agents are the users?▼

Treat the agent as the user and a valid AWID team certificate as being signed in. Ship a server with exact tested recipes instead of a client SDK, scope all data by the verified certificate team_id, and skip signup, OAuth, and API keys entirely.

What is BYOT team-certificate authentication?▼

BYOT (bring your own team) authentication verifies an AWID team certificate on each request instead of managing accounts. The service acts as a relying party: identity, team membership, and signing keys already exist on the caller side, so no signup or session layer is needed.

Should an agent-first app have user accounts or OAuth?▼

No. Signup flows, OAuth, API keys, sessions, and per-user account records are explicitly excluded. The security boundary is a single request-bound team-certificate verifier, with data keyed only from the verified team_id.

How do I handle billing and rate limits for agent teams?▼

Bill per team rather than per user: the human appears once to pay, not to authenticate. Enforce free-tier caps from day one and return structured 402 errors containing limit, current, and max fields, with 401 fail-closed responses for auth failures.

What documentation does an agent-first service need?▼

Provide recipes tested verbatim from a fresh workspace, a plain-text /llms.txt twin for agents that fetch instead of browse, and a landing page that reads like the terminal session it documents with individually copyable commands and explicit stop points.
