SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Better Auth removes the complexity of building secure authentication and authorization systems from scratch, helping teams ship reliable login, session, and access-control flows with less boilerplate and fewer security mistakes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Email and Password Auth: Set up sign-up, sign-in, email verification, password reset, and protected routes.
  • Social OAuth Providers: Configure GitHub, Google, Discord, Microsoft, Apple, and other provider-based sign-in flows.
  • Advanced Security: Add two-factor authentication, passkeys, magic links, rate limiting, session management, and account linking.
  • Framework Integration: Apply the skill to Next.js and NestJS projects that need production-ready auth configuration, database adapters, and schema generation.

Quick Start

Use the better-auth skill to generate a secure authentication setup for your TypeScript app with the database adapter, env vars, and framework routes it needs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add authentication to a Next.js app with email and password login?▼

OAuth social login supports GitHub, Google, Discord, Microsoft, and Apple providers for TypeScript applications. The configuration handles provider-based sign-in flows, session management, and account linking within your Next.js or NestJS project.

Can I use passkeys and two-factor authentication in a TypeScript application?▼

Better Auth removes the complexity of building secure authentication systems from scratch, helping teams ship reliable login, session, and access-control flows. It uses less boilerplate and reduces security mistakes by generating database schemas and framework-specific API handlers.

Does this authentication setup work with NestJS?▼

NestJS implementations are supported for production-ready authentication and authorization configuration. The setup requires environment variables, database adapters, generated schemas, and framework-specific API handlers to deliver secure auth in your NestJS project.

What environment setup do I need for TypeScript authentication with database adapters?▼

TypeScript authentication requires environment variables, database adapters, and generated schemas before applying framework-specific API handlers. You must configure these components to establish secure sessions and route protection in your application.
