API Authentication is one of 24 skills that DirSkills catalogs from secondsky/claude-skills, the repository it ships in. Its siblings there include API Changelog & Versioning, API Contract Testing and API Design Principles. Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way API Authentication does, and is maintained by secondsky in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the secondsky/claude-skills page.
API Authentication ranks #2651 by stars among the 2970 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of API Authentication against them.
