Quick Start

1. Ask Your Agent to Add Clerk

After installing Clerk Skills, ask your coding agent to add Clerk authentication to your app. The clerk-setup skill sets up Clerk in an existing project, scaffolds a new app in an empty directory, and can link an existing Clerk application instead of creating a new one.

For a new project on a supported framework, clerk init can start without a Clerk account or browser login. See Accountless development keys for how temporary keys and later account claiming work.
