Idp Troubleshoot Auth Errors
Symptom-driven troubleshooting guide for HTTP/transport errors when integrating the Overlens IDP — the "why am I getting this status code?" skill. Use this whenever a developer is BLOCKED by an error response from the IDP or from their own auth flow and needs to map symptom → cause → fix: `401 invalid_client` on `/auth/token`, `400 unauthorized_client` (grant type not allowed), `400 invalid_grant` (code expired/reused/PKCE mismatch), `400 invalid_redirect_uri` (redirect_uri doesn't exact-match), `404` on `POST /login/google` (PostHog feature flag off — older docs said 403), `429 Too Many Requests` (rate limit), `Max-Age=0` cookies (the ms-vs-seconds bug), missing `Set-Cookie` (forgot `credentials: 'include'`), and CORS failures in prod that worked in dev (`\.overlens\.com\.br$` origin regex). Triggers on phrases like "401 Overlens", "invalid_client Overlens", "CORS error Overlens", "Overlens login works locally but not in production", "429 Overlens rate limit", "Overlens cookie not being set", "Max-Age=0", "redirect_uri_mismatch IDP", "unauthorized_client Overlens", "my Overlens Google login returns 404 (or 403)", or any stuck-on-an-error-code report against the Overlens IDP. This skill diagnoses HTTP/transport/config failures. If instead the token IS received but its CONTENTS look wrong (bad `iss`/`aud`, `kid not found`, signature verify fails, decode the payload, algorithm-confusion, stale JWKS after rotation), prefer `idp-debug-jwt`. If nothing is failing yet and the dev just wants to integrate, prefer the integration skills (`idp-integrate-oauth-web`, `idp-auth-nextjs`, `idp-integrate-m2m`, `idp-validate-token`).

From the source SKILL.md
This skill turns a symptom (a status code, a missing cookie, a CORS console error) into a cause and a fix. It exists because most IDP integration tickets are not "how do I integrate" — they're "I integrated and I'm stuck on this one error," and the same dozen errors recur. Each one has a precise, known cause.
What this skill does
Idp Troubleshoot Auth Errors is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the web-security sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/idp-troubleshoot-auth-errors/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Idp Troubleshoot Auth Errors Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 177,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
