  evidence: >-
    dashboard.specific.dev/.well-known/openid-configuration redirects into WorkOS AuthKit
    (api.workos.com/user_management/authorize) with PKCE (code_challenge_method=S256).
- name: Device code login
  type: oauth2
  flow: deviceCode
  command: specific login --device-code
  evidence: >-
    Docs describe a device-code login flow for headless/remote agent environments; the CLI prints an
    authorization code the agent completes without a browser.
notes: >-
  Specific is account/session-authenticated through the CLI (`specific login`) backed by WorkOS
  AuthKit OAuth; no static API keys are documented. There is no published OpenAPI declaring security
  schemes, so this profile was searched from the docs and the live OIDC discovery redirect rather than
  derived.
