SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the guesswork of wiring Clerk authentication correctly in a native Android app, ensuring the right UI flow and SDK initialization are used.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prebuilt Compose authentication: Use Clerk-provided AuthView and UserButton to quickly add signed-in and signed-out experiences.
  • Custom API-driven auth flows: Implement multi-step sign-in/sign-up flows using Clerk Android API while preserving capability-driven behavior (factors, providers, MFA).
  • Safety guardrails: Forces flow selection (prebuilt vs custom) and requires a real publishable key before any project edits.
  • Android quickstart compliance: Verifies native Android setup essentials like initialization placement and required manifest/project prerequisites.
  • Use case: Build an Android app login that respects your Clerk dashboard configuration for social providers, MFA, and factor availability.

Quick Start

Tell the agent whether you want prebuilt AuthView/UserButton or a custom API-driven flow, and provide your real Clerk publishable key for your Android project.

Do I need a specific setup before implementing Clerk auth in native Android?▼

Yes, you need a real Clerk publishable key and a native Android project configured with Gradle Android plugins and Compose UI code before selecting an authentication flow and applying project edits.

Does Clerk authentication for Android support dashboard-configured MFA and social providers?▼

Yes, Clerk authentication for Android respects your Clerk dashboard configuration, automatically supporting configured social providers, multi-factor authentication, and factor availability.

Why does my Clerk Android authentication setup require flow selection?▼
