Working Signup/Auth System

About this workflow

Build a real signup, login, session, and protected route flow - not a form that only looks functional.

What happens when you run it

1. 1
   Clarify exactly what the authentication system must do before building it.

2. 2
   Lock the auth mechanism so the AI does not mix approaches or silently pick something insecure.

3. 3
   A real signup needs a real user record. Define the schema before generating any UI.

Best for

• •Recurring tasks you currently copy-paste between tools.
• •When a single prompt isn't enough — you need a chain where output(n) feeds prompt(n+1).
• •Fork and adapt if your inputs differ materially from the author's use case.
