OAuth 2.0, JWT, SSO, MFA, NextAuth/Clerk/Supabase Auth implementation patterns.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Authentication Patterns

## Overview

This skill covers authentication and authorization implementation across web and mobile applications. It addresses OAuth 2.0 flows (Authorization Code with PKCE, Client Credentials), JWT management (access tokens, refresh tokens, rotation), session management strategies, multi-factor authentication (TOTP, WebAuthn/passkeys), integration with auth libraries (NextAuth/Auth.js v5, Clerk, Supabase Auth, Lucia), SSO protocols (SAML, OIDC), and authorization patterns (RBAC, ABAC).

Use this skill when building login/signup flows, integrating social login providers, implementing MFA, setting up SSO for enterprise customers, designing authorization models, or migrating between auth providers.

## Core Principles

1. **Never roll your own crypto** - Use established libraries for password hashing (bcrypt, argon2), JWT signing, and OAuth flows. Custom auth code is the #1 source of security vulnerabilities in web applications.
2. **Defense in depth** - Authentication is not a single check. Layer session validation, CSRF protection, rate limiting, and anomaly detection. Assume every layer can be bypassed individually.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add travisjneuman/.claude/authentication-patterns@sha256:1511a244212776a2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260228.62823bf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
