Can this skill help with testing Clerk webhooks?

Yes, it provides guidance on using tunneling services like ngrok to expose your local server, allowing you to test Clerk webhooks in your local environment.

How does it handle different Clerk environments?

The skill ensures that development keys (prefixed with pk_test_ and sk_test_) are correctly configured in your .env.local file to prevent accidental interaction with production data.

Why do I need to use HTTPS locally with Clerk?

Clerk uses secure cookies for session management, which often requires an HTTPS connection to function correctly in modern browsers during local development. This skill helps configure tools like next dev --experimental-https.

Does this skill support Next.js specifically?

While the provided examples focus on Next.js, the patterns for environment variables, test users, and mock authentication are adaptable to any framework supported by the Clerk SDK.
