Skill Metadata

Name
auth-flow
Description
Generates authentication infrastructure with Sign in with Apple, biometrics, and Keychain storage. Use when user wants to add authentication, login, or Sign in with Apple.

Auth Flow Generator

Generate a complete authentication flow with Sign in with Apple, biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID), and secure Keychain storage.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks to "add authentication" or "add login"
  • Mentions "Sign in with Apple" or "SIWA"
  • Wants "Face ID login" or "biometric auth"
  • Asks about "Keychain" or "secure storage"
  • Mentions "user session" or "auth token"

Pre-Generation Checks

1. Project Context Detection

  • [ ] Check for existing auth implementations
  • [ ] Check for AuthenticationServices framework usage
  • [ ] Verify entitlements file exists
  • [ ] Identify source file locations

2. Conflict Detection

Search for existing auth:

Glob: **/*Auth*.swift, **/*Keychain*.swift
Grep: "ASAuthorizationController" or "LAContext"

If found, ask user:

  • Replace existing implementation?
  • Extend with additional methods?

3. Required Capabilities

Sign in with Apple requires:

  • Add "Sign in with Apple" capability in Xcode
  • Configure in App Store Connect
  • Add entitlement: com.apple.developer.applesignin

Configuration Questions

Ask user via AskUserQuestion:

  1. Authentication methods? (multi-select)

    • Sign in with Apple
    • Biometrics (Face ID/Touch ID)
    • Both
  2. Session storage?

    • Keychain (secure, persists reinstall)
    • UserDefaults (simple, cleared on reinstall)
  3. Session management?

    • Auto-refresh tokens
    • Manual refresh
    • No token refresh needed

Generation Process

Step 1: Create Core Files

Generate these files:

  1. AuthenticationManager.swift - Core auth orchestration
  2. KeychainManager.swift - Secure storage
  3. SignInWithAppleManager.swift - SIWA handling
  4. BiometricAuthManager.swift - Face ID/Touch ID

Step 2: Create SwiftUI Components

Based on configuration:

  • SignInWithAppleButton.swift - SwiftUI button wrapper
  • AuthenticationView.swift - Complete auth UI

Step 3: Determine File Location

Check project structure:

  • If Sources/ exists → Sources/Auth/
  • If App/ exists → App/Auth/
  • Otherwise → Auth/

Entitlements Required

Sign in with Apple

<!-- YourApp.entitlements -->
<key>com.apple.developer.applesignin</key>
<array>
    <string>Default</string>
</array>

Keychain Sharing (optional)

<key>keychain-access-groups</key>
<array>
    <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.yourcompany.shared</string>
</array>

Info.plist Required

Face ID Usage Description

<key>NSFaceIDUsageDescription</key>
<string>Use Face ID to securely sign in to your account</string>

Output Format

After generation, provide:

Integration Steps

App Entry Point:

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    @StateObject private var authManager = AuthenticationManager()

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            if authManager.isAuthenticated {
                ContentView()
            } else {
                AuthenticationView()
            }
        }
        .environmentObject(authManager)
    }
}

Sign in with Apple Button:

SignInWithAppleButtonView { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let user):
        print("Signed in: \(user.id)")
    case .failure(let error):
        print("Failed: \(error)")
    }
}

Biometric Auth:

Button("Unlock with Face ID") {
    Task {
        if await BiometricAuthManager.shared.authenticate() {
            // Authenticated
        }
    }
}

Required Setup

  1. Xcode Capabilities:

    • Add "Sign in with Apple" capability
    • Enable Keychain Sharing (if needed)
  2. App Store Connect:

    • Configure Sign in with Apple for your App ID
  3. Info.plist:

    • Add NSFaceIDUsageDescription

Testing Instructions

Sign in with Apple:

  • Use Simulator for basic testing
  • Test on device for full flow
  • Use sandbox Apple ID for testing

Biometrics:

  • Simulator: Features > Face ID > Enrolled
  • Test enrolled/not enrolled states
  • Test failed authentication
