## What it does

Reach for this skill when you wire an app into the Zoom API and the flow itself is the unclear part. It starts by pinning down the app type and actor: user-level OAuth, account-level OAuth, server-to-server where supported, SDK JWT, or Build-platform credentials. Then it asks which API, SDK or app surface you target, since scopes and token audiences shift between them.

What you get is a six-step workflow plus reference files: `concepts/oauth-flows.md`, `concepts/token-lifecycle.md`, `concepts/scopes-architecture.md`, `references/granular-scopes.md`, `references/oauth-errors.md` and `troubleshooting/redirect-uri-issues.md`. One step is easy to get wrong in code: refresh tokens are single-use, so persist the replacement token from each refresh response before the old one is reused. For local work the skill says keep access tokens out of logs.

The author points you at `setup-zoom-oauth` first for the initial setup plan, then back here for exact flows and error diagnosis. Validation covers redirect URI, account ID, scopes, app publication state and token expiration — do that before touching application code. If your case runs on SDK JWT, expect scope handling to differ from plain authorization code.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

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

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

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --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/

### Cursor

**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 openai/plugins oauth
```

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

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/zoom/skills/oauth
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/zoom/skills/oauth/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pick the right grant flow for a Zoom app type
- explain why returned scopes differ from what you requested
- rotate refresh tokens without reusing the old one
- trace an OAuth failure back to its error code
- validate redirect URI before changing code

## Example prompts
- Help me set up OAuth for an account-level Zoom app
- Why does the refresh response return a new refresh token and what do I do with it
- Walk me through this OAuth error when connecting to the Zoom API

# Zoom OAuth

Use this skill for concrete Zoom authentication implementation and troubleshooting. Prefer `setup-zoom-oauth` for the first-pass setup plan, then return here for exact flows, scope behavior, refresh handling, and error diagnosis.

## Workflow

1. Identify the app type and actor: user-level OAuth, account-level OAuth, server-to-server OAuth where officially supported, SDK JWT, or Build-platform credentials.
2. Confirm the target API, SDK, or app surface, because scopes and token audiences differ by surface.
3. Choose the grant flow: authorization code with PKCE for public clients, authorization code for confidential web apps, device authorization where appropriate, or account credentials for supported account-level automation.
4. Store refresh tokens as single-use values: persist the replacement refresh token returned by each refresh response before reusing the old one.
5. Validate requests against redirect URI, account ID, scopes, app publication state, and token expiration before changing application code.
6. For local development, keep access tokens out of logs and treat refresh tokens as single-use when rotating credentials.
