Overview

This skill automates guidance and configuration for OAuth2 flow helper tasks within the Security Fundamentals domain. It delivers step-by-step instructions, generates production-ready code snippets and configuration templates, and flags common misconfigurations. Use it to speed up secure OAuth2 integration and validation.

How this skill works

The skill inspects requested OAuth2 scenarios (authorization code, implicit, client credentials, device code) and returns tailored guidance and artifacts. It generates example configurations, sample code for common languages, and validation checks against common security patterns and requirements. Outputs include recommended settings, token handling advice, and remediation steps for detected issues.

When to use it

  • Setting up OAuth2 flows for web, mobile, or service-to-service apps
  • Reviewing or hardening existing OAuth2 configurations and token handling
  • Generating example client or server code for authorization code or client credentials flows
  • Validating scopes, redirect URIs, and token lifetimes against best practices
  • Teaching or demonstrating OAuth2 fundamentals in tutorials or onboarding

Best practices

  • Prefer Authorization Code + PKCE for public clients and avoid implicit flow
  • Validate redirect URIs strictly and use exact matches rather than patterns
  • Minimize scopes and use short-lived access tokens with refresh tokens where appropriate
  • Store client secrets securely and never embed them in public clients or client-side code
  • Implement token revocation and introspection endpoints when supported

Example use cases

  • Create an authorization code flow example with PKCE for a single-page app
  • Generate a client credentials flow configuration for a backend service
  • Audit an OAuth2 setup to identify unsafe redirect URIs and excessive scopes
  • Provide sample code for exchanging authorization codes and securely storing tokens
  • Produce step-by-step onboarding checklist for integrating a new OAuth2 provider

FAQ

Which OAuth2 flow should I choose for a mobile app?

Use Authorization Code with PKCE to protect the authorization exchange without requiring client secrets.

How do I reduce risk from leaked access tokens?

Shorten access token lifetimes, use refresh tokens with rotation, and implement token revocation and monitoring.

Can this helper generate production-ready code?

Yes — it produces example code and configurations following industry best practices, but you should adapt and review them for your environment and compliance needs.
