SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you build custom Clerk authentication UIs and match Clerk’s component styling to your product brand instead of relying on defaults.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Custom authentication flows: Create sign-in and sign-up experiences using the appropriate useSignIn and useSignUp hooks for different SDK generations (Core 2 vs current).
  • Appearance customization: Style Clerk’s pre-built components through the appearance prop (themes, variables like colors and border radius, logo/social options, CAPTCHA behavior, and optional Bring Your Own CSS).
  • Conditional UI rendering: Use the <Show> component pattern (current SDK) to conditionally render UI based on auth state, roles, permissions, billing plans/features, or arbitrary predicates, with an explicit security caveat.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate a custom Clerk sign-in page using the correct hook for your SDK version and apply your brand theme via the appearance prop.

What is the best way to build a custom Clerk authentication flow with MFA?▼

Building a custom Clerk authentication flow with MFA requires using the correct `useSignIn` and `useSignUp` hooks for your SDK version and properly wiring flow steps, session finalization behaviors, and error handling.

How do I conditionally render UI based on Clerk auth state and user roles?▼

You can conditionally render UI based on Clerk auth state, roles, permissions, and entitlements by using the `<Show>` component pattern with an explicit security caveat to protect restricted routes.

Does custom Clerk appearance styling work with different SDK versions?▼

Custom Clerk appearance styling is SDK-version-aware, requiring correct reference selection between Core 2 and current SDK generations to ensure the proper sign-in and sign-up hooks are used for your custom UI.

Do I need ClerkProvider wrapping to implement custom authentication components?▼
