Clerk authentication router. An agent skill from vvedantb/eva.

What it does

Clerk is an agent skill from vvedantb/eva. Clerk authentication router. Use when user asks about adding authentication, setting up Clerk, custom sign-in flows, Swift or native iOS auth, Next.js patterns, organizations, syncing users, or testing. Automatically routes to the specific skill based on their task.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering iOS development and Authentication. It works with iOS, Next.js and Clerk. The repository describes itself as: Orchestrate sandboxed agents that run in the cloud while you work. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks about adding authentication
  • Setting up Clerk
  • Custom sign-in flows
  • Native iOS auth

Example prompts

  • “/clerk”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a5a4df2. 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 loads about 510 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 202 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~510

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.
