Auth0

Use when adding, fixing, or improving how an app authenticates users or protects an API, or when using or configuring any Auth0 feature — signing users in and out, sessions and tokens, guarding routes and endpoints, MFA, SSO, Organizations, RBAC, custom domains, Universal Portals for hosted account

Auth0

Detect intent → detect framework → detect tooling → load 2–3 reference files.

Step 1: Detect intent

Match the request against the What the developer wants column — it describes the goal in plain language, not just the Auth0 term (someone who says "make users confirm with a code from their phone" lands on feature:mfa). The Intent you pick is a lookup key: in Step 4 it appears verbatim as a section heading (### feature:mfa) listing which reference files to load.

What the developer wants (plain language + Auth0 term)	Intent
Add login, signup, sign-in, "let users log in / create accounts" to an app, or otherwise add and use an Auth0 SDK in an app or script	integrate
Require a second step after the password — a one-time code, SMS or email code, authenticator app, passkey, fingerprint/face (biometric), or security key; or re-confirm identity before a sensitive action. Auth0: multi-factor authentication (MFA), two-factor (2FA), two-step verification, step-up authentication.	feature:mfa
Let separate companies, teams, workspaces, or tenants each have their own users, members, roles, and login — typically a product sold to businesses. Auth0: Organizations, multi-org, B2B SaaS.	feature:organizations
Deploy a hosted self-service portal for profile, passkeys, MFA, or organization details instead of building a “My Account” or “My Organization” UI. Auth0: Universal Portals, My Account portal, My Organization portal.	feature:universal-portals
Serve the login page from your own web address (e.g. `login.example.com`, `auth.company.com`) instead of the default Auth0 URL. Auth0: custom domain.	feature:custom-domains
Build fully custom login/signup screens with your own code or framework, beyond what theme settings allow. Auth0: Advanced Customization for Universal Login (ACUL).	feature:acul
Change how the login page looks — logo, colors, fonts, background, overall theme. Auth0: branding, Universal Login customization.	feature:branding
Bind tokens to the client so a stolen or leaked token can't be reused/replayed from another machine. Auth0: DPoP (Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession), sender-constrained tokens.	feature:dpop
Audit a tenant for security/config issues, report, then optionally fix findings. Auth0: tenant audit, CheckMate.	audit
Check if a tenant is healthy and on the right plan — two scores + a recommendation. Auth0: health check.	healthcheck
Ask for best practices, "is this secure?", how to handle tokens safely, "how should I do X". Auth0: guidance / security.	guidance
Hit an error: 401 Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden, CORS, callback URL mismatch, redirect loop. Auth0: debugging.	debug
Hit rate limiting: 429 Too Many Requests, quota exceeded. Auth0: rate limits.	debug:rate-limit
Move an existing app off Clerk, NextAuth.js, Firebase, Cognito, Okta, Supabase, Passport.js, or another auth provider. Auth0: provider migration.	migrate
Upgrade the Auth0 SDK itself to a new major version (e.g. Auth0.swift v2→v3, Auth0.Android v3→v4) — breaking changes, deprecated APIs, "update to the latest SDK". Auth0: SDK major-version upgrade.	upgrade-sdk
Install Auth0's Vercel Marketplace integration, connect Auth0 to a Vercel project, or sync Auth0 configuration into a Vercel-hosted Next.js app. Auth0: Vercel native integration.	integrate
Use the Auth0 CLI directly — "create an app/API with the `auth0` CLI", script tenant setup, or automate Auth0 config in CI — with no application framework in play. Auth0: CLI / tooling-only.	tooling

If nothing clearly matches

Pick the closest goal. If the goal is genuinely unclear, ask the developer what they're trying to accomplish - don't guess an intent.

Step 2: Detect framework

Skip this step for the tooling intent — a CLI-first request has no framework. Go to Step 3, load the tooling reference; only ask about a framework if the developer later pivots to integrating auth into an app.

Work top-down. Stop at the first tier that yields a framework.

Tier 1 — Auth0 SDK already installed (strongest signal)

Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript — check `package.json` → `dependencies`

Rows are most-specific first: an Ionic/Capacitor project also carries the base SDK, so check the @capacitor/browser rows before it.

Package	Framework
`@capacitor/browser` + `@auth0/auth0-angular`	`ionic-angular`
`@capacitor/browser` + `@auth0/auth0-react`	`ionic-react`
`@capacitor/browser` + `@auth0/auth0-vue`	`ionic-vue`
`@auth0/nextjs-auth0`	`nextjs`
`@auth0/auth0-nuxt`	`nuxt`
`@auth0/auth0-react`	`react`
`@auth0/auth0-vue`	`vue`
`@auth0/auth0-angular`	`angular`
`@auth0/auth0-spa-js`	`spa-js`
`express-openid-connect`	`express`
`@auth0/auth0-fastify`	`fastify`
`@auth0/auth0-fastify-api`	`fastify-api`
`express-oauth2-jwt-bearer`	`express-jwt`
`react-native-auth0` + `app.json` or `app.config.js` present	`expo`
`react-native-auth0` (no Expo files)	`react-native`
`@auth0/auth0-api-js`	`auth0-api-js`
`@auth0/auth0-server-js`	`auth0-server-js`
`@auth0/auth0-auth-js`	`auth0-auth-js`
`auth0` (the bare package, not `@auth0/*`)	`node-auth0`

Python — check `requirements.txt` or `pyproject.toml`

Rows are most-specific first: auth0-server-python is the framework-agnostic server core, so check for a co-installed web framework before falling back to the bare-SDK row.

Package	Framework
`auth0-server-python` + `flask`	`flask`
`auth0-server-python` (no Flask web framework)	`server-python`
`auth0-fastapi-api`	`fastapi-api`

Java / Kotlin — check `build.gradle` or `pom.xml`

Dependency	Framework
`mvc-auth-commons` (`com.auth0:mvc-auth-commons`)	`java-mvc`
`spring-security-oauth2-resource-server`	`springboot-api`

.NET — check `*.csproj` or `NuGet.Config`

Package	Framework
`Auth0.AspNetCore.Authentication` (no `.Api` suffix)	`aspnetcore-auth`
`Auth0.AspNetCore.Authentication.Api`	`aspnetcore-api`
`Auth0.OidcClient.MAUI`	`maui`
`Auth0.OidcClient.AndroidX`	`net-android`
`Auth0.OidcClient.iOS`	`net-ios`
`Auth0.OidcClient.WinForms`	`winforms`
`Auth0.OidcClient.WPF`	`wpf`

PHP — check `composer.json`

auth0/auth0-php powers both PHP web apps and APIs via SdkConfiguration's strategy. The STRATEGY_API row is more specific — check it first.

Package	Framework
`auth0/auth0-php` + `SdkConfiguration::STRATEGY_API` (or `strategy: 'api'`)	`php-api`
`auth0/auth0-php` (no `STRATEGY_API` / `STRATEGY_REGULAR` or `strategy: 'webapp'`)	`php`
`auth0/login` (laravel, no `AuthorizationGuard`)	`laravel`
`auth0/login` + `AuthorizationGuard`	`laravel-api`

If auth0/auth0-php is installed but no SdkConfiguration strategy is set yet (fresh project), fall through to variant disambiguation below.

Go — check `go.mod`

Module	Framework
`github.com/auth0/go-jwt-middleware`	`go`

Mobile (native)

Signal	Framework
`build.gradle(.kts)` + `com.auth0.kmp:auth0` (Kotlin Multiplatform module)	`kmp`
`Package.swift` or `.xcodeproj` + Auth0.swift	`swift`
`build.gradle` + `com.auth0.android:auth0`	`android`
`pubspec.yaml` + `auth0_flutter` + developer names/targets Windows desktop	`flutter-windows`
`pubspec.yaml` + `auth0_flutter` + `flutter.web: false`	`flutter-native`
`pubspec.yaml` + `auth0_flutter` + web enabled	`flutter-web`

Tier 2 — Framework from non-Auth0 workspace dependencies

If no Auth0 SDK matched, detect the framework from ordinary (non-Auth0) dependencies. Stop at the first match. This picks the base; any web-vs-API variant is resolved in "Variant disambiguation" below. As in Tier 1, check the @ionic/* rows before their base framework.

Signal	Base framework
`next` in `package.json`	`nextjs`
`nuxt` in `package.json`	`nuxt`
`@ionic/*` + `@angular/core`	`ionic-angular`
`@ionic/*` + `react`	`ionic-react`
`@ionic/*` + `vue`	`ionic-vue`
`@angular/core` in `package.json`	`angular`
`vue` in `package.json` (no `nuxt`)	`vue`
`expo` in `package.json`	`expo`
`react-native` (no `expo`)	`react-native`
`react` (no meta-framework above)	`react` (SPA) — see note
`express` in `package.json`	`express` (variant below)
`fastify` in `package.json`	`fastify` (variant below)
`flask` in `requirements.txt`/`pyproject.toml`	`flask`
`fastapi` in `requirements.txt`/`pyproject.toml`	`fastapi-api` (variant below)
`spring-boot` in `pom.xml`/`build.gradle`	`springboot-api`
`laravel/framework` in `composer.json`	`laravel` (variant below)
`composer.json` present (no Laravel)	`php` (variant below)
`go.mod` present + HTTP server/router	`go`
`org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform` plugin + `commonMain` source set (shared Android+iOS module)	`kmp`
`Package.swift` or `.xcodeproj`	`swift`
`pubspec.yaml` (Flutter) + developer names/targets Windows desktop	`flutter-windows`
`pubspec.yaml` (Flutter, web disabled)	`flutter-native`
`pubspec.yaml` (Flutter, web enabled)	`flutter-web`
`*.csproj` referencing MAUI	`maui`
`*.csproj` (WinForms)	`winforms`
`*.csproj` (WPF)	`wpf`
`*.csproj` ASP.NET (web app or API)	`aspnetcore` (variant below)

react note: a plain React project maps to react for an SPA using the React SDK, or spa-js if the app is framework-agnostic vanilla JS. If unclear, ask before loading.

Tier 3 — Framework from the prompt

If no workspace signal matched, map the framework or language named in the request. Stop at the first match.

Developer mentions...	Framework
Next.js / `next`	`nextjs`
Nuxt	`nuxt`
Angular (not Ionic)	`angular`
Vue (not Nuxt/Ionic)	`vue`
React SPA (not Next.js)	`react`
vanilla JS / plain JS / no framework SPA	`spa-js`
node-auth0 / the `auth0` npm package	`node-auth0`
`@auth0/auth0-api-js` / auth0-api-js / low-level resource-server SDK	`auth0-api-js`
`@auth0/auth0-server-js` / auth0-server-js / server-side Auth0 session SDK	`auth0-server-js`
`@auth0/auth0-auth-js` / auth0-auth-js / AuthClient / low-level OAuth OIDC	`auth0-auth-js`
Express (web app / server-rendered)	`express`
Express API / protect API routes	`express-jwt`
Fastify (web) / Fastify API	`fastify` / `fastify-api`
Flask	`flask`
FastAPI (web app) / FastAPI API	`server-python` / `fastapi-api`
`auth0-server-python` / framework-agnostic Python server SDK / Python OIDC web server with no dedicated reference (Django, Starlette, Sanic, Quart, aiohttp)	`server-python`
Spring Boot	`springboot-api`
Java MVC / servlet	`java-mvc`
ASP.NET Core web app / API	`aspnetcore-auth` / `aspnetcore-api`
MAUI / WinForms / WPF	`maui` / `winforms` / `wpf`
PHP web app / PHP API	`php` / `php-api`
Laravel web app / Laravel API	`laravel` / `laravel-api`
Go / Golang API	`go`
Kotlin Multiplatform / KMP / shared Android+iOS auth code / `com.auth0.kmp`	`kmp`
Swift / iOS	`swift`
Android / Kotlin	`android`
Flutter (native / web / Windows)	`flutter-native` / `flutter-web` / `flutter-windows`
React Native / Expo	`react-native` / `expo`
Ionic (Angular/React/Vue)	`ionic-angular` / `ionic-react` / `ionic-vue`

Variant disambiguation (web app vs API)

Some frameworks have separate web-app and API references. When Tier 1 did not pin the variant, choose intent-first:

Base	Web-app variant	API variant	Choose API when…
express	`express`	`express-jwt`	protecting API routes / validating JWTs, no server-rendered UI
fastify	`fastify`	`fastify-api`	resource server / JWT validation only
fastapi	`server-python`	`fastapi-api`	resource server / JWT validation only; a web app with login/logout UI uses `server-python`
php	`php`	`php-api`	building/protecting a PHP API, no web UI
laravel	`laravel`	`laravel-api`	API-only (token guard), no Blade UI
aspnetcore	`aspnetcore-auth`	`aspnetcore-api`	Web API / JWT bearer, no cookie login UI

If intent is still ambiguous (both a UI and protected endpoints, or unclear), state what you detected and ask the developer web app vs API before loading.

If nothing matched

Ask the developer what framework/language they are using. Do not guess.

Conflicts

If Tier 2 (workspace) and Tier 3 (prompt) disagree materially (e.g. the prompt says "Next.js" but package.json has no next), state the conflict and ask rather than silently picking. Workspace signals outrank the prompt when both are present and consistent.

Step 3: Detect tooling

Read the project file tree and the request — a project-context decision, not a product preference.

Project has...	Load
`terraform/` directory OR any `*.tf` files	`tooling-terraform/index.md`
Auth0 MCP server active in this agent session	`tooling-mcp/index.md`
A request for the Auth0 Vercel Marketplace/native integration, or to connect Auth0 to a Vercel project	`tooling-vercel/index.md`
Anything else (default)	`tooling-cli/index.md`

Step 4: Load reference files

Find the section below whose heading matches the Intent you picked in Step 1, then read the reference files it lists.

If no framework is detected: ask which Auth0 SDK the developer is upgrading.

tooling

No framework file — this is a CLI/tooling-only task (create apps/APIs, script
tenant setup, automate config in CI). If the developer then wants to integrate
auth into an app, return to Step 1 with the integrate intent.
