Auth0 Quickstart
Provision and configure Auth0 tenants and applications (SPA, regular web) from the CLI so your app gets correct callbacks, origins, and client setup.

Install
npx skills add https://github.com/auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0-quickstartWhat is this skill?
- Install Auth0 CLI via Homebrew, Scoop, Chocolatey, or reviewed curl installer on macOS/Linux/Windows
- Login, tenant listing, and tenant selection commands for agent-driven setup

What problem does it solve?
You need Auth0 login on a React or Next.js app but stall on CLI install, tenant login, and correct callback/origin URLs for local development.
Who is it for?
Indie builders standardizing on Auth0 who want CLI-first app provisioning for SPA or regular web stacks.
Skip if: Custom auth without Auth0, mobile-native-only flows without the documented app types, or orgs that forbid CLI tenant access.
When should I use this skill?
User needs Auth0 CLI installation, login, tenant management, or creating SPA/regular web Auth0 applications with callbacks and origins.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent runs documented auth0 CLI commands to create properly typed applications with callbacks and origins aligned to your local or deployed URLs.
- Auth0 application records via CLI
- Documented callback, logout, and origin URL configuration

Journey fit
Identity provider wiring happens while integrating auth into the product during build, before launch hardening. Focus is Auth0 CLI setup and app creation—not generic frontend UI or SEO distribution.
How it compares
Auth0 CLI quickstart skill—not a replacement for Auth0’s dashboard docs or framework SDK integration code.
