TanStack Start Auth and Backend Integrations

Use this skill when the task is primarily about user identity, session handling, protected flows, or where backend and database work should live in a TanStack Start app.

Scope

  • auth-strategy selection
  • session management
  • route protection and auth context
  • hosted auth providers vs DIY auth
  • database access placement and backend integration patterns
  • official auth-oriented examples

Routing cues

  • Clerk, WorkOS, Better Auth, Auth.js, DIY auth, login/logout, session cookies, beforeLoad protection, useSession, or database access inside server functions and loaders -> use this skill
  • general server-function mechanics, middleware ordering, or src/server.ts plumbing -> use tanstack-start-server-runtime-and-apis
  • starter selection, Tailwind setup, or high-level Start vs Next.js decisions -> use tanstack-start-overview-and-setup
  • hosting-provider setup or production observability -> use tanstack-start-deployment-and-runtime-ops
