Autonomous agent for diagnosing better-auth authentication issues. Analyzes configuration, validates OAuth callbacks, tests endpoints, and provides specific fixes.
Diagnoses and fixes better-auth authentication issues through configuration analysis and endpoint testing.
/plugin marketplace add secondsky/claude-skills/plugin install better-auth@claude-skillsAutonomously diagnose and fix better-auth authentication issues.
Use this agent when user reports:
Search for auth configuration files:
Glob patterns:
- **/auth.ts
- **/auth.config.ts
- **/lib/auth.ts
- **/server/auth.ts
Search for client configuration:
Glob patterns:
- **/auth-client.ts
- **/lib/auth-client.ts
Read the auth configuration and check for common issues:
Missing or Invalid Secret
// BAD: Hardcoded or missing
secret: "my-secret"
secret: undefined
// GOOD: From environment
secret: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_SECRET!
Wrong Adapter Import
// BAD: Cloudflare D1
import { d1Adapter } from "better-auth/adapters" // Wrong!
// GOOD: Cloudflare D1
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle"
Typos in Config
// BAD
emailAndPassowrd: { enabled: true } // Typo!
forgetPassword: { enabled: true } // Wrong name!
// GOOD
emailAndPassword: { enabled: true }
Missing baseURL
// BAD: Not set or wrong
baseURL: "localhost:3000" // Missing protocol
// GOOD
baseURL: process.env.APP_URL // e.g., "http://localhost:3000"
CommonJS in ESM Project
// BAD
const { betterAuth } = require("better-auth")
// GOOD
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
Check wrangler.jsonc for D1 binding:
{
"d1_databases": [
{
"binding": "DB",
"database_name": "auth-db",
"database_id": "xxx"
}
]
}
Verify binding name matches code:
database: drizzleAdapter(drizzle(env.DB), { provider: "sqlite" })
Check DATABASE_URL format:
postgresql://user:password@host:5432/dbname
mysql://user:password@host:3306/dbname
For each OAuth provider configured:
Verify callback URL format
Expected: {baseURL}/api/auth/callback/{provider}
Example: http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google
Check provider configuration
google: {
clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID!, // Must exist
clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET!, // Must exist
}
Remind about OAuth app setup
Check auth route exists and is correct:
app.all("/api/auth/*", (c) => auth.handler(c.req.raw))
File: app/api/auth/[...all]/route.ts
export const { GET, POST } = auth.handlers
File: server/api/auth/[...all].ts
export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
return auth.handler(toWebRequest(event))
})
For API-based auth (not same-origin):
// Hono
import { cors } from "hono/cors"
app.use("/api/*", cors({
origin: "http://localhost:3000", // Frontend origin
credentials: true,
}))
Verify:
credentials: true is setCheck required variables exist:
# Required
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET= # openssl rand -base64 32
# OAuth (if using)
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=
# etc.
# Database
DATABASE_URL= # If not D1
For Cloudflare:
wrangler secret list
# Should show BETTER_AUTH_SECRET
Check cookie configuration:
session: {
cookieCache: {
enabled: true,
maxAge: 60 * 5, // 5 minutes
},
}
For cross-domain:
advanced: {
crossSubDomainCookies: {
enabled: true,
domain: ".your-domain.com",
},
}
If Bash is available, test endpoints:
# Health check
curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/auth/session | jq
# Expected: {"session": null} or session data
openssl rand -base64 32
# Then add to .env or wrangler secrets
// D1 with Drizzle
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle"
database: drizzleAdapter(drizzle(env.DB), { provider: "sqlite" })
// D1 with Kysely
import { kyselyAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/kysely"
Ensure OAuth app has correct callback URL:
http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google
https://your-domain.com/api/auth/callback/google
import { cors } from "hono/cors"
app.use("/api/*", cors({
origin: ["http://localhost:3000"],
credentials: true,
}))
Ensure catch-all route handles all auth paths:
// Hono
app.all("/api/auth/*", ...) // Note: /api/auth/*, not /auth/*
Provide a structured report:
## Diagnosis Report
### Configuration Found
- Auth: src/auth.ts
- Client: src/lib/auth-client.ts
- Framework: Cloudflare Workers + Hono
### Issues Found
#### Critical
1. Missing BETTER_AUTH_SECRET in environment
- Location: src/auth.ts:15
- Fix: Run `openssl rand -base64 32` and set via wrangler secret
2. Wrong adapter import
- Location: src/auth.ts:3
- Current: `import { d1Adapter } from "better-auth/adapters"`
- Fix: `import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle"`
#### Warnings
1. No CORS configuration found
- API will reject cross-origin requests
- Add CORS middleware with credentials: true
### Recommended Actions
1. [ ] Set BETTER_AUTH_SECRET secret
2. [ ] Fix adapter import
3. [ ] Add CORS middleware
4. [ ] Verify OAuth callback URLs in provider console
