What it does
Clerk Auth is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Expert patterns for Clerk auth implementation, middleware, organizations, webhooks, and user sync Use when: adding authentication, clerk auth, user authentication, sign in, sign up.
Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication and Webhooks. It works with Clerk. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : adding authentication
- User authentication
Example prompts
- “/clerk-auth”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46b4d8b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Clerk Auth loads about 376 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 143 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Clerk Authentication
Patterns
Next.js App Router Setup
Complete Clerk setup for Next.js 14/15 App Router.
Includes ClerkProvider, environment variables, and basic sign-in/sign-up components.
Key components:
- ClerkProvider: Wraps app for auth context
<SignIn />,<SignUp />: Pre-built auth forms<UserButton />: User menu with session management
Middleware Route Protection
Protect routes using clerkMiddleware and createRouteMatcher.
Best practices:
- Single middleware.ts file at project root
- Use createRouteMatcher for route groups
- auth.protect() for explicit protection
- Centralize all auth logic in middleware
Server Component Authentication
Access auth state in Server Components using auth() and currentUser().
Key functions:
- auth(): Returns userId, sessionId, orgId, claims
- currentUser(): Returns full User object
- Both require clerkMiddleware to be configured
