Instructions

# Neon Auth Integration

Add authentication to your application.

## When to Use This Skill

- Adding authentication to a new or existing project
- Implementing sign-in, sign-up, and session management
- Configuring social authentication (Google, GitHub)

**Package**: `@neondatabase/auth` (auth only, smaller bundle)

**Need database queries too?** Use the `neon-js` skill instead for `@neondatabase/neon-js` with unified auth + data API.

## Code Generation Rules

When generating TypeScript/JavaScript code, follow these rules:

**Complete reference:** See [Code Generation Rules](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neondatabase-labs/ai-rules/main/references/code-generation-rules.md) for:
- Import path handling (path aliases vs relative imports)
- Neon package imports (subpath exports, adapter patterns)
- CSS import strategy (Tailwind detection, single import method)
- File structure patterns

**Key points:**
- Check `tsconfig.json` for path aliases before generating imports
- Use relative imports if unsure or no aliases exist
- `BetterAuthReactAdapter` MUST be imported from `auth/react/adapters` subpath
- Adapters are factory functions - call them with `()`
- Choose ONE CSS import method (Tailwind or CSS, not both)

## Available Guides

Each guide is a complete, self-contained walkthrough with numbered phases:

- **`guides/nextjs-setup.md`** - Complete Next.js App Router setup guide
- **`guides/react-spa-setup.md`** - Detailed React SPA guide with react-router-dom integration

I'll automatically detect your context (package manager, framework, existing setup) and select the appropriate guide based on your request.

For troubleshooting, see the [Troubleshooting Guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neondatabase-labs/ai-rules/main/references/neon-auth-troubleshooting.md) in references.

## Quick Examples

Tell me what you're building - I'll handle the rest:

- "Add authentication to my Next.js app" -> Loads setup guide, sets up auth routes
- "Set up sign-in with Google"
