What This Skill Provides

Comprehensive Coverage

Frameworks:

• ✅ Next.js (App Router & Pages Router)
• ✅ Cloudflare Workers with D1
• ✅ Edge runtime compatibility

Authentication Methods:

• ✅ OAuth providers (GitHub, Google, Discord, etc.)
• ✅ Credentials (email/password with Zod validation)
• ✅ Magic links (passwordless with Resend)

Session Strategies:

• ✅ JWT sessions (edge-compatible)
• ✅ Database sessions (with edge-compatible adapters)
• ✅ Hybrid approaches

Advanced Features:

• ✅ Middleware patterns (route protection, RBAC)
• ✅ JWT customization (custom claims, token refresh)
• ✅ Role-based access control
• ✅ Multi-tenancy support
• ✅ Token refresh rotation

Known Issues Prevented

This skill prevents 12 common Auth.js errors:

1. Missing AUTH_SECRET → JWEDecryptionFailed
2. CallbackRouteError → Throwing in authorize() instead of returning null
3. Route not found → Incorrect file path
4. Edge incompatibility → Using non-edge adapter with database sessions
5. PKCE errors → OAuth provider misconfiguration
6. Session not updating → Missing middleware
7. v5 migration issues → Namespace changes, JWT salt changes
8. D1 binding errors → Wrangler configuration mismatch
9. Credentials with database → Incompatible session strategy
10. Production deployment failures → Missing environment variables
11. Token refresh errors → Incorrect callback implementation
12. JSON expected but HTML received → Rewrites configuration

All errors documented with root causes, fixes, and prevention strategies in references/common-errors.md
