Implement Canva Connect OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with SHA-256 PKCE on a backend.

  • Works in 7 steps: Register the integration → Create authorization state → Build the authorization URL → …
  • Creating an integration
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prerequisites, Instructions and Authentication, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Canva Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Canva Connect OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with SHA-256 PKCE on a backend. Use when creating an integration, adding explicit scopes, handling callback state, or rotating single-use refresh tokens. Trigger with: "set up Canva OAuth", "Canva PKCE", "refresh Canva token".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a Canva Developer Portal integration, controlled redirect URI, backend secret store, and consent design.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering OAuth and OpenID Connect and Authorization and RBAC. It works with Canva. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating an integration
  • Adding explicit scopes
  • Handling callback state
  • Rotating single-use refresh tokens

Example prompts

  • “set up Canva OAuth”
  • “Canva PKCE”
  • “refresh Canva token”
  • “/canva-install-auth”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a Canva Developer Portal integration, controlled redirect URI, backend secret store, and consent design.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Register the integration
  2. Create authorization state
  3. Build the authorization URL
  4. Validate the callback
  5. Exchange on the backend
  6. Refresh atomically
  7. Support disconnect

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    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):

    • canva.dev

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires a Canva Developer Portal integration, controlled redirect URI, backend secret store, and consent design.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Canva Install Auth loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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.

Canva OAuth Credential Boundary

Overview

Build authorization as a stateful backend protocol, not a copied token snippet. Keep the PKCE verifier and client secret out of the browser and serialize refresh-token replacement per user.

Prerequisites

  • Developer Portal integration and saved client secret
  • Controlled redirect URI and exact explicit scopes
  • Backend session, token vault, encryption, and revocation path

Instructions

Step 1: Register the integration

Configure name, minimum scopes, at least one controlled redirect URI, and secret storage. Remove localhost and loopback redirect hosts from production configuration.

Step 2: Create authorization state

Generate high-entropy per-request state and a PKCE verifier that meets Canva's documented character/length rules. Store both server-side with short expiry and one-time use.

Step 3: Build the authorization URL

Use Canva's authorization endpoint, S256 challenge method, explicit space-separated scopes, client ID, state, and an exactly registered redirect URI.

Step 4: Validate the callback

Reject missing/mismatched/expired state, repeated codes, unexpected redirect context, and errors before token exchange.

Step 5: Exchange on the backend

Authenticate the token request using the approved client method, send the verifier and authorization code, validate the response, encrypt access and refresh tokens separately, and discard transient secrets.

Step 6: Refresh atomically

Single-flight refresh per user because each refresh token is single-use. Commit the new access token, expiry, and replacement refresh token atomically; reauthorize on unrecoverable failure.

Step 7: Support disconnect

Revoke when required, delete application-held tokens and cached authorization, and record a credential-free receipt.

Authentication

Canva Connect calls use Bearer access tokens obtained by a backend through OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with SHA-256 PKCE. Request explicit least-privilege scopes, keep client secrets and tokens out of browser-visible state, and serialize refresh so the replacement single-use refresh token is stored atomically.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for discovery and evidence. Use Write or Edit only for the approved artifact, code, configuration, test, or receipt described by this workflow; do not make an unapproved Canva-side change.

Output

  • Scoped decision or implementation artifact
  • Redacted operation and validation receipt
  • Failure, rollback, and follow-up ownership record

Examples

A callback consumes a one-time state record and server-held verifier, exchanges the code on the backend, and stores the replacement refresh token in the same transaction that invalidates the prior token.

Error Handling
