Skillsync Authentication

Authentication

Skillsync has no public REST API or OpenAPI; authentication is documented for the CLI and MCP server. `skl login` opens a browser sign-in flow on skillsync.com and returns control to the CLI once the local callback completes, persisting credentials on the machine. Local-only operations (reading sessions on disk) need no login; any operation that reaches skillsync.com (upload, search published threads, skills) is login-gated. The MCP server calls the auth_status tool before any login-gated tool.

Skillsync secures its APIs with oauth2-browser across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions. OAuth 2.0 is offered via the authorizationCode flow(s).

      `skl login` opens the Skillsync sign-in flow in the browser; a local
      callback completes authentication and the CLI stores credentials on the
      machine. Confirm with `skl whoami` (CLI) or the auth_status MCP tool.
