Core Features & Use Cases

Flexible provider selection: Guides choosing between Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, or custom JWTs, and wires the provider accordingly.
Backend and UI wiring: Creates or updates convex.auth.config.ts, wires a provider wrapper, and applies ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() guards on protected queries and mutations.
Optional app-level user storage: Adds a users table and identity mapping only if the app requires first-class user data.
