What is the purpose of the smoke test feature?

The smoke test performs a lightweight request, such as a 'ping' command, to verify that the credentials are not only present but actively accepted by the external service provider.

Can I integrate this with my existing Claude skills?

Yes, you can add 'leyline:authentication-patterns' as a dependency in your skill's frontmatter to leverage its verification logic and patterns.

How does the skill handle authentication failures?

It uses a standardized failure handling system that provides specific recovery actions, such as suggesting the correct environment variable to set or the specific CLI command to run for a login refresh.

Which authentication methods does this skill support?

The skill supports three primary methods: API Keys (best for simple integrations), OAuth (for user-authenticated flows), and Session Tokens, as well as configurations for public APIs.

安全与测试

Implements standardized authentication flows and credential verification strategies for integrating external services securely.

关于

Authentication Patterns provides a robust framework for managing security credentials and service integrations within Claude Code. It simplifies the implementation of complex authentication logic including API key management, OAuth browser-based flows, and session token refreshes. By using pre-defined verification patterns and smoke tests, this skill ensures that your integrations remain secure and provide clear, actionable feedback to users whenever authentication failures occur, making it an essential tool for building reliable third-party connections.
