Can I test webhooks locally with this skill?

Yes, it includes scripts and guidance for using tools like ngrok to tunnel local ports and update Clerk's dashboard for webhook testing.

Does it support unit testing?

Absolutely. It provides boilerplate for mocking Clerk's hooks, such as useUser and auth, using testing frameworks like Vitest.

How does this skill handle Clerk API keys?

It helps you configure .env.local with development-specific keys starting with pk_test and sk_test to prevent accidental production data usage.

Why do I need SSL for local Clerk development?

Clerk often requires secure cookies for session persistence; this skill helps you configure Next.js with experimental HTTPS for local testing.
