This skill provides comprehensive step-by-step instructions for creating authenticated requests with Clerk, including protected pages, API routes, and client-side testing. The description clearly conveys the skill's purpose and trigger phrases. Task knowledge is strong with detailed TypeScript examples for Next.js and Express.js implementations, plus error handling guidance. Structure is good with clear sections, though it's a straightforward linear flow. Novelty is moderate—while it consolidates Clerk authentication patterns helpfully, an experienced developer could accomplish this by consulting Clerk docs directly. The skill adds value for quick scaffolding and provides a verified reference implementation, but isn't highly complex or token-intensive enough to be essential.
