Rules that apply across tasks
- Confirm the consumer's installed package version supports each API you use. The published skill may be newer than the consumer's lockfile.
- Enforce protected API reads and mutations server-side with
requireUserSession(event). Route rules and page meta also control navigation. - Navigate only to validated local redirect paths.
- In
clientOnlymode, do not use local server helpers or expect SSR session hydration. - After server-side changes to session payload fields, call
refreshSessionCookieCache(event). Wrap custom client auth endpoints that create or change the current session withrunWithSessionRefresh().
Before finishing an implementation, run the consumer's typecheck and the narrowest relevant auth test.
