What Auth Setup is

Auth Setup is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. 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.”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Auth Setup gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Auth Setup

Claude Code

  1. Download auth-setup.md from the repository.
  2. Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
  3. Run it by typing / followed by its name.

Claude Cowork

  1. Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
  2. In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
  3. Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

New to extending Cowork? Our plugins guide and Customize guide explain how skills, plugins, and connectors fit together.

Generates complete authentication boilerplate including JWT, OAuth (Google/GitHub), session management, and password reset flows.

What This Command Does

Generated Auth System:

  • JWT authentication with refresh tokens
  • OAuth2 (Google, GitHub, Facebook)
  • Password hashing (bcrypt)
  • Email verification
  • Password reset flow
  • Session management
  • Rate limiting on auth endpoints
  • Authentication middleware

Output: Complete authentication system ready for production

Time: 5-10 minutes

Usage

# Generate full auth system
/auth-setup jwt

# Shortcut
/as oauth --providers google,github

# With specific features
/as jwt --features email-verification,password-reset,2fa

Example Output

JWT Authentication

auth.service.ts:

import bcrypt from 'bcrypt'
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken'
import { User } from './models/User'

export class AuthService {
  async register(email: string, password: string, name: string) {
    // Check if user exists
    const existing = await User.findOne({ email })
    if (existing) {
      throw new Error('Email already registered')
    }

    // Hash password
    const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, 12)

    // Create user
    const user = await User.create({
      email,
…

OAuth2 Setup (Google)

oauth.controller.ts:

import { OAuth2Client } from 'google-auth-library'

const googleClient = new OAuth2Client(
  process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
  process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
  process.env.GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI
)

export class OAuthController {
  async googleLogin(req: Request, res: Response) {
    const authUrl = googleClient.generateAuthUrl({
      access_type: 'offline',
      scope: ['profile', 'email']
    })

    res.redirect(authUrl)
  }
…

Authentication Middleware

auth.middleware.ts:

import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express'
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken'

declare global {
  namespace Express {
    interface Request {
      user?: {
        userId: string
        email: string
      }
    }
  }
}

export async function authenticate(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
  try {
    const authHeader = req.headers.authorization
…

Rate Limiting

import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit'

export const authLimiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
  max: 5, // 5 requests per window
  message: 'Too many login attempts, please try again later',
  standardHeaders: true,
  legacyHeaders: false
})

// Usage
app.post('/api/auth/login', authLimiter, authController.login)

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
