SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of wiring secure email and password authentication into Convex-backed applications, so you can add sign-in, sign-up, session handling, and protected user flows without stitching together the integration by hand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Expo and Next.js support: Adapts the auth setup to either React Native or web projects based on the detected framework.
  • Full auth plumbing: Creates Convex config, auth config, client and server helpers, HTTP routing, and provider wiring.
  • User-facing auth screens: Builds sign-in and sign-up experiences and connects them to session-aware navigation and protected queries.
  • Use case: A local-first app needs Better Auth on top of Convex with safe environment validation, route protection, and no manual guesswork.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to add Better Auth authentication to your Convex Expo or Next.js app and it will configure the required files, routes, providers, and sign-in flows.
