# Auth.md

auth.md is a short markdown document describing how an agent registers and authenticates. It is prose, which is exactly why it works: both humans and models read it directly.

## When to use this skill

Use this when a site fails the "Auth.md" check and you need to implement it.

## Goal

Publish Auth.md metadata for agent registration

## Pass criteria

/auth.md exists with a markdown H1 mentioning auth.md.

## Implementation

This skill covers the diagnosis. The step-by-step implementation prompt is part
of the paid tier and is served per scan by the API — see https://agent-ready.t0ols.com/llms-full.txt.

## Specifications

- https://workos.com/auth-md

## Verifying

Re-run the scan against the site and confirm the check reports a pass:

    curl -s https://agent-ready.t0ols.com/api/scan \
      -H 'content-type: application/json' \
      -d '{"url":"https://example.com","enabledChecks":["authMd"]}'
