What problem does it solve?

Expo / React Native apps often struggle to implement consistent Clerk authentication patterns across native routes, secure token storage, and protected navigation. This skill provides ready-to-use Expo patterns and best practices to streamline authentication flows and session management.

Core Features & Use Cases

• SecureStore token cache integration with ClerkProvider to persist sessions across restarts.
• OAuth deep linking support with useSSO across Expo Router protected routes.
• Native-friendly hooks like useAuth and useUser for in-app UI and user data access.
• Guidelines for implementing protected routes and push notifications with user context.

Quick Start

Wrap your Expo app with ClerkProvider using the built-in tokenCache, then implement useAuth and useSSO for authentication flows and protect routes as shown.
