building-api-authentication

Quick Review

The skill has reasonable structure with separated reference files, but suffers from significant issues. The description promises 'OAuth2, JWT, API keys, and session management' but the SKILL.md provides only generic API building instructions that apply to any API development, not authentication-specific guidance. The Prerequisites and Instructions sections read as boilerplate for general API development rather than authentication systems. While taskKnowledge gets credit for referencing implementation details in other files, the main instructions lack authentication-specific steps (e.g., JWT token generation, OAuth2 flow implementation, API key rotation). The novelty is low because authentication implementation, while important, is well-documented online and the skill doesn't demonstrate unique automation or complexity reduction beyond what a CLI agent could accomplish with standard prompting. To improve: make instructions authentication-specific, detail OAuth2/JWT flows, explain the Bash(api:auth-*) tool's authentication capabilities, and provide concrete authentication architecture guidance.
