Authentication

Use this skill when securing endpoints, adding login/session flows, or enforcing permissions.

Workflow

1. Choose an auth mechanism (session vs JWT/bearer) based on client architecture.
2. Configure auth middleware/backend.
3. Protect routes with guards and scope checks.
4. Keep unauthenticated and forbidden behaviors explicit and consistent.
