## What it does

This skill guides the implementation of OAuth 2.0 and 2.1 in Fastify applications. It provides reference setups for the Authorization Code flow with PKCE (S256) and exchanges tokens using `@fastify/oauth2`. The skill also covers Client Credentials and mobile application flows under RFC 8252.

For token inspection, it configures an `onRequest` lifecycle hook using `@fastify/jwt`. The verification logic checks standard claims like `exp`, `iss`, `aud`, and `sub` on every request. Tokens must never be stored in browser `localStorage`. The documentation requires session cookies configured with `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, and `SameSite=Strict`.

Symmetric signing via HS256 is explicitly flagged as an anti-pattern for external providers; RS256 or ES256 with JWKS is required instead. Running these configurations requires `@fastify/oauth2`, `@fastify/cookie`, `@fastify/session`, `fastify-plugin`, and `@fastify/jwt`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mcollina/skills --skill oauth -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/oauth/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/oauth/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mcollina/skills --skill oauth -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/oauth/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mcollina/skills --skill oauth -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/oauth/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mcollina/skills oauth
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/oauth/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mcollina/skills --skill oauth -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mcollina/skills --path skills/oauth
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/oauth/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mcollina/skills --skill oauth -a opencode
```

## When to use it
- configure Fastify authorization code flow with PKCE
- validate incoming JWTs with issuer and audience claim checks
- implement refresh token rotation per RFC 6749
- secure API endpoints using request hooks and session cookies

## Example prompts
- Configure authorization code flow with PKCE for my Fastify server
- Add a JWT verification onRequest hook checking iss and aud claims
- How do I implement refresh token rotation with @fastify/oauth2?

name: oauth
description: Implements OAuth 2.0/2.1 authorization flows in Fastify applications — configures authorization code with PKCE, client credentials, device flow, refresh token rotation, JWT validation, and token introspection/revocation endpoints. Use when setting up authentication, authorization, login flows, access tokens, API security, or securing Fastify routes with OAuth; also applies when troubleshooting token validation errors, mismatched redirect URIs, CSRF issues, scope problems, or RFC 6749/6750/7636/8252/8628 compliance questions.

## When to use

Use this skill when you need to:
- Implement or debug an OAuth 2.0/2.1 flow in a Fastify application
- Validate tokens, configure PKCE, or set up refresh token rotation
- Secure Fastify routes and plugins with access-control middleware
- Resolve RFC compliance questions or identify security anti-patterns

## Step-by-step: Authorization Code + PKCE in Fastify

### 1. Install dependencies

```bash
npm install @fastify/oauth2 @fastify/cookie @fastify/session fastify-plugin
```

### 2. Register the OAuth plugin

```typescript
// plugins/oauth.ts
import fp from 'fastify-plugin'
import oauth2, { OAuth2Namespace } from '@fastify/oauth2'
import { FastifyInstance } from 'fastify'

export default fp(async function (fastify: FastifyInstance) {
  fastify.register(oauth2, {
    name: 'oauth2',
    scope: ['openid', 'profile', 'email'],
    credentials: {
      client: {
        id: process.env.CLIENT_ID!,
        secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET!,
      },
      auth: {
        authorizeHost: process.env.AUTH_SERVER!,
        authorizePath: '/authorize',
        tokenHost: process.env.AUTH_SERVER!,
        tokenPath: '/token',
      },
    },
    startRedirectPath: '/login',
    callbackUri: process.env.CALLBACK_URI!,
    pkce: 'S256',               // RFC 7636 — always use for public clients
    generateStateFunction: (req) => req.session.state = crypto.randomUUID(),
    checkStateFunction: (req, callback) =>
      req.query.state === req.session.state ? callback() : callback(new Error('State mismatch')),
  })
})
```

**Validation checkpoint:** Confirm `callbackUri` exactly matches a registered redirect URI at the authorization server before proceeding (RFC 6749 §3.1.2).

### 3. Handle the callback and exchange the code

```typescript
// routes/auth.ts
import { FastifyInstance } from 'fastify'

export default async function authRoutes(fastify: FastifyInstance) {
  fastify.get('/login/callback', async (request, reply) => {
    // @fastify/oauth2 verifies state and exchanges code automatically
    const tokenResponse = await fastify.oauth2.getAccessTokenFromAuthorizationCodeFlow(request)

    // Store only what you need; never log the raw token
    request.session.set('accessToken', tokenResponse.token.access_token)
    request.session.set('refreshToken', tokenResponse.token.refresh_token)

    return reply.redirect('/')
  })
````
