OAuth Implementation

Implement OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for secure authentication.

OAuth 2.0 Flows

| Flow | Use Case |

|------|----------|

| Authorization Code | Web apps (most secure) |

| Authorization Code + PKCE | SPAs, mobile apps |

| Client Credentials | Service-to-service |

| Refresh Token | Session renewal |

Authorization Code Flow (Express)

const express = require('express');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

// Step 1: Redirect to authorization
app.get('/auth/login', (req, res) => {
  const state = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex');
  req.session.oauthState = state;

  const params = new URLSearchParams({
    client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
    redirect_uri: process.env.REDIRECT_URI,
    response_type: 'code',
    scope: 'openid profile email',
    state
  });

  res.redirect(`${PROVIDER_URL}/authorize?${params}`);
});

// Step 2: Handle callback
app.get('/auth/callback', async (req, res) => {
  if (req.query.state !== req.session.oauthState) {
    return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid state' });
  }

  const tokenResponse = await fetch(`${PROVIDER_URL}/token`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      grant_type: 'authorization_code',
      code: req.query.code,
      redirect_uri: process.env.REDIRECT_URI,
      client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
      client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET
    })
  });

  const tokens = await tokenResponse.json();
  // Store tokens securely and create session
});

PKCE for Public Clients

function generatePKCE() {
  const verifier = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('base64url');
  const challenge = crypto
    .createHash('sha256')
    .update(verifier)
    .digest('base64url');
  return { verifier, challenge };
}

Security Requirements

  • Always use HTTPS
  • Validate redirect URIs strictly
  • Use PKCE for public clients
  • Store tokens in HttpOnly cookies
  • Implement token rotation
  • Use short-lived access tokens (15 min)

Additional Implementations

See references/python-java.md for:

  • Python Flask with Authlib OIDC provider
  • OpenID Connect discovery and JWKS endpoints
  • Java Spring Security OAuth2 server
  • Token introspection and revocation

Never Do

  • Store tokens in localStorage
  • Use implicit flow
  • Skip state parameter validation
  • Expose client secrets in frontend
  • Use long-lived access tokens

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take secondsky/oauth-implementation from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
