{netlify-identity}
Add user authentication to a Netlify site with @netlify/identity — signup/login/logout, Google/GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket OAuth, server-side getUser() checks, role-based access control, and Identity event functions. Use it when a task involves adding a login or signup form, gating content to members or roles, "auth middleware" or verifying users in Netlify Functions or Edge Functions, handling OAuth or email-confirmation callbacks, assigning roles at signup, or customizing Identity emails. For locking a whole site to your company or employees-only access, use netlify-access-control instead.

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
