Summary

  • Framework-agnostic Clerk authentication setup following official quickstart guides.
  • Detects framework from package.json dependencies and fetches the corresponding Clerk quickstart documentation (supports Next.js, Remix, Astro, Nuxt, React Router, TanStack Start, React SPA, Vue, Express, Fastify, Expo, Chrome Extension, Android, iOS, and Vanilla JavaScript) Handles environment variable setup, provider configuration, and middleware/proxy file creation with version-specific guidance for Core 2 SDK differences Includes migration detection and planning for projects with existing auth providers (NextAuth, Supabase, Firebase, Auth0, Passport, custom JWT) Applies shadcn/ui theming automatically if components.json is detected; supports both keyless auto-generation and manual dashboard API key retrieval Documents critical pitfalls including async auth() calls, secret key exposure, middleware matchers, and ClerkProvider placement rules
