At a glance

A skill for implementing passkey in web applications. An agent skill from GoogleChrome/modern-web-guidance-src.

  • A user asks about passkey registartion
  • SKILL.md covers Implementation Phase, Evaluation, References and Recommended Libraries
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Passkey authentication

What it does

Passkeys Web is an agent skill from GoogleChrome/modern-web-guidance-src. A skill for implementing passkey in web applications. You MUST use this skill whenever a user asks about passkey registartion, passkey authentication or passkey management. It defines the required database schema, API usage, and security best practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `authentication.md`, `evaluating-passkeys.md` and `management.md`).

It sits in Databases, covering Database schema design. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks about passkey registartion
  • Passkey authentication
  • Passkey management

Example prompts

  • “/passkeys-web”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 271a550. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Passkeys Web loads about 664 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 186 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~664
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

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.

Passkeys Implementation Guide (Web)

This skill provides a modular guide to implementing passkeys

Implementation Phase

Evaluation

References

You MUST read the following references when implementing their respective features:

  • Conditional Create: Read this before implementing automatic passkey creation or conditional create.
  • Conditional Mediation: Read this before implementing form autofill based passkey authentication.
  • Signal API: Read this before implementing any PublicKeyCredential.signal* methods.
  • AAGUID Resolution: Read this before saving a new credential to the database during registration to map the provider name and icon.

For backend, using a library is recommended. Here's a list of recommended open source libraries per language:

If you are using one of the libraries above, use the following skills:

  • Use [[simplewebauthn]] skill when implementing passkeys using SimpleWebAuthn
