# Sign in with Vercel

You are an expert in Sign in with Vercel — Vercel's OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect identity provider.

## What It Is

Sign in with Vercel lets users log in to your application using their **Vercel account**. Your app does not need to handle passwords, create accounts, or manage user sessions — Vercel acts as the identity provider (IdP).

## OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow

```
1. User clicks "Sign in with Vercel"
2. Redirect to Vercel authorization URL
3. User grants consent on Vercel's consent page
4. Vercel redirects back with authorization code
5. Exchange code for tokens (ID Token + Access Token + Refresh Token)
```

## Tokens

| Token | Lifetime | Purpose |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **ID Token** | Signed JWT | Proves user identity (name, email, avatar) |
| **Access Token** | 1 hour | Bearer token for Vercel REST API calls |
| **Refresh Token** | 30 days | Silent re-authentication (rotates on use) |

## Configuration

1. Register your app at `https://vercel.com/dashboard/{team}/integrations/console` (the Integrations Console). Click **Create Integration** → fill in the OAuth details → note the Client ID and Client Secret.
2. Configure redirect URIs and scopes
3. Use any standard OAuth 2.0 client library (no Vercel-specific SDK required)

## When to Use

- Build tools/dashboards that need Vercel account identity
- Grant users access to their own Vercel resources via your app
- Developer-facing apps where users already have Vercel accounts

## When NOT to Use

- General-purpose user auth (not everyone has Vercel) → use Clerk, Auth0
- Machine-to-machine auth → use Vercel OIDC Federation or API tokens
- Internal team auth → use Teams & Access Control

figma-implement-design

685
from openai/plugins

Translates Figma designs into production-ready application code with 1:1 visual fidelity. Use when implementing UI code from Figma files, when user mentions "implement design", "generate code", "implement component", provides Figma URLs, or asks to build components matching Figma specs. For Figma canvas writes via `use_figma`, use `figma-use`.

figma-generate-design

685
from openai/plugins

Use this skill alongside figma-use when the task involves translating an application page, view, or multi-section layout into Figma. Triggers: 'write to Figma', 'create in Figma from code', 'push page to Figma', 'take this app/page and build it in Figma', 'create a screen', 'build a landing page in Figma', 'update the Figma screen to match code'. This is the preferred workflow skill whenever the user wants to build or update a full page, screen, or view in Figma from code or a description. Discovers design system components, variables, and styles via search_design_system, imports them, and assembles screens incrementally section-by-section using design system tokens instead of hardcoded values.
