clerk

React Router v7/v8 patterns with Clerk — rootAuthLoader, getAuth in loaders, clerkMiddleware, protected routes, SSR user data, org switching. Triggers on: react-router auth, rootAuthLoader, getAuth loader, react-router protected route, loader authentication, SSR auth react-router, useNavigate may be used only in the context of a Router.

Add Clerk authentication to Expo and React Native apps using @clerk/expo. Use for Expo setup, prebuilt native components (AuthView, UserButton), custom sign-in/sign-up flows (email, password, SMS/phone OTP, MFA), OAuth/SSO, native Google/Apple sign-in, Expo Router protected routes, biometrics, and push notifications. Do not use for native Swift/iOS, native Android/Kotlin, or web-only framework projects.

Audits the bundled `clerk-expo` skill against the @clerk/expo SDK source and clerk-docs, then proposes or applies updates. Use when the user says "audit the expo skill", "update the clerk-expo skill", "check clerk-expo against the SDK", "resync clerk-expo skill", "run audit-expo-skill", or after @clerk/expo ships a minor or major release.

Add Clerk authentication to any project by following the official quickstart guides.

Clerk authentication router. Use when user asks about Clerk CLI operations, adding authentication, setting up Clerk, custom sign-in flows, Swift or native iOS auth, native Android auth, Next.js patterns, React patterns, Vue patterns, Nuxt patterns, Astro patterns, TanStack Start patterns, Expo patterns, React Router patterns, Chrome Extension patterns, organizations, billing, subscriptions, payments, pricing, plans, seat-based pricing, feature entitlements, syncing users, or testing. Automatically routes to the specific skill based on their task.

Audits the bundled `clerk-cli` skill against the Clerk CLI source tree and proposes or applies updates. Use when the user says "audit the clerk-cli skill", "update the clerk-cli skill", "check clerk-cli against the CLI source", "resync clerk-cli skill", "run audit-clerk-skill", or after Clerk CLI commands, flags, or agent-mode behavior change.

Operate the Clerk CLI (`clerk` binary) for authentication, user/org/session management, deploy verification, instance config, env keys, and any Clerk Backend or Platform API call. Use when the user mentions Clerk management tasks, "list clerk users", "create a clerk user", "update organization", "pull clerk config", "clerk env pull", "clerk doctor", "clerk deploy", "clerk deploy status", "clerk api", or any ad-hoc Clerk API request. Prefer the CLI over raw HTTP: it handles auth, key resolution, app/instance targeting, and formatting automatically.

Clerk Billing for subscription management - render Clerk's PricingTable and in-app checkout drawer, configure subscription plans, seat-limit plans for B2B, feature entitlements with has(), and billing webhooks. Use for SaaS monetization, plan gating, checkout flows, trials, invoicing, and subscription lifecycle management.

Work on Mosaic UI: styling a component with slot recipes (`defineSlotRecipe` / `useRecipe` / slots / variants), or building a flow — authoring a state machine (`setup`, states/guards/`invoke`, wiring to React with `useMachine`/`useActor`/ `useSelector`), writing the controller (Clerk adapter) or view (rendering) layer, testing any of those layers, or migrating a legacy / pre-Mosaic component into the machine / controller / view split. Use when building, styling, debugging, testing, or migrating anything Mosaic. `references/mosaic-architecture.md` (repo root) holds the design-system contract; this skill is the how-to layer.

Work effectively in the clerk/javascript SDK monorepo. Use when setting up the repo, building / testing / running a package, deciding which of the @clerk/* packages to change, writing changesets, conventional commits, or PRs, or checking whether a change is a breaking change to clerk-js or ui. Covers the pnpm + turbo dev loop, the package map, and the repo's hard rules. AGENTS.md is the authority on the rules; this skill is the how-to layer that points back to it.

Comprehensively reviews SwiftUI code for best practices on modern APIs, maintainability, and performance. Use when reading, writing, or reviewing SwiftUI projects.

Expert guidance on Swift Concurrency best practices, patterns, and implementation. Use when developers mention: (1) Swift Concurrency, async/await, actors, or tasks, (2) "use Swift Concurrency" or "modern concurrency patterns", (3) migrating to Swift 6, (4) data races or thread safety issues, (5) refactoring closures to async/await, (6) @MainActor, Sendable, or actor isolation, (7) concurrent code architecture or performance optimization, (8) concurrency-related linter warnings (SwiftLint or similar; e.g. async_without_await, Sendable/actor isolation/MainActor lint).

Audits the Clerk CLI source tree and proposes updates to the bundled `clerk-cli` skill so it stays in sync with the binary. Use when the user says "audit the clerk-cli skill", "update the clerk-cli skill", "check the skill against the code", "resync clerk-cli skill", or after adding/renaming/removing CLI commands, flags, or agent-mode behavior.

Create or refresh a `.changeset/<slug>.md` for the current branch, or report that none is required. Triggers on "/changesets create", "add a changeset", "create a changeset", "update the changeset", "refresh the changeset", "do I need a changeset", or any work that touches `packages/**` source files on a feature branch.

Run and troubleshoot scripts/migrate-clerk-docs-to-clerk.ts, which migrates a clerk-docs feature branch (and its PR) into the clerk/clerk monorepo under clerk-docs/. Use when the user asks to migrate a branch or PR to clerk, re-run a migration, or hit a migration conflict, merge conflict, or "conflict-synced-to-docs" error from the script.
