Scalekit Auth - Secure Token Management

Centralized OAuth token management for AI agents. No local token storage, automatic refresh, multi-service support.

Why Use This?

Problem: OAuth tokens scattered across config files, no refresh logic, security risks.

Solution: Scalekit handles all token lifecycle:

• ✅ Secure cloud storage (never stored locally)
• ✅ Automatic token refresh
• ✅ Multi-service support (Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub, etc.)
• ✅ Always returns fresh, valid tokens

Installation

1. Install Skill

clawhub install scalekit-auth
cd skills/scalekit-auth
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2. Get Scalekit Credentials

1. Sign up at scalekit.com
2. Go to Dashboard → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
3. Copy:
   • Client ID
   • Client Secret
   • Environment URL

3. Configure Credentials

Create skills/scalekit-auth/.env:

SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
SCALEKIT_ENV_URL=https://your-env.scalekit.com

Or let the agent ask you on first use.

Setting Up a Service (e.g., Gmail)

Step 1: Create Connection in Scalekit Dashboard

1. Go to Scalekit Dashboard → Connections → Add Connection
2. Select provider (e.g., Gmail/Google)
3. Configure OAuth:
   • Get Client ID/Secret from Google Cloud Console
   • Set Redirect URI (provided by Scalekit)
4. Copy the connection_name (e.g., gmail_u3134a)

Step 2: Register with Agent

Tell the agent:

"Configure Gmail for Scalekit. Connection name is gmail_u3134a"

Agent stores it in connections.json:

{
  "gmail": {
    "connection_name": "gmail_u3134a",
    "identifier": "mess"
  }
}

Step 3: Authorize

First API call will prompt:

Authorization needed for Gmail.
Link: https://scalekit.com/auth/... (expires in 1 minute!)

Click link → authorize → done!

Usage

From Agent Skills

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
sys.path.append('./skills/scalekit-auth')
from scalekit_helper import get_token

# Get fresh token for any service
access_token = get_token("gmail")

# Use it immediately
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"}
response = requests.get("https://gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages", headers=headers)

From Shell Scripts

# Get token via CLI wrapper
TOKEN=$(python3 skills/scalekit-auth/get_token.py gmail)

# Use in API call
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  https://gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages

Configuration Files

connections.json

Maps service names to Scalekit connection names:

{
  "gmail": {
    "connection_name": "gmail_u3134a",
    "identifier": "mess"
  },
  "slack": {
    "connection_name": "slack_x7y9z",
    "identifier": "mess"
  }
}

Note: identifier is auto-set to agent's name (from IDENTITY.md).

.env

Scalekit API credentials (never commit to git!):

SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=sk_live_...
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=...
SCALEKIT_ENV_URL=https://...

Supported Services

Any OAuth provider Scalekit supports:

• Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive
• Slack, Notion, Linear, GitHub
• Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk
• 50+ more

Check Scalekit Connectors for full list.

Authorization Flow

1. Agent calls get_token("gmail")
2. Check if connection configured → if NO, ask user
3. Check if authorized (status == ACTIVE)
4. If NOT authorized:
   - Generate auth link (expires 1 min)
   - Send to user via Telegram/chat
   - Wait for authorization
5. Return fresh access_token
6. Scalekit auto-refreshes in background

Error Handling

Connection not configured:

Error: gmail not configured. Please:
1. Create connection in Scalekit dashboard
2. Provide connection_name

Authorization expired:

Authorization needed: [link]
(Link expires in 1 minute - click now!)

Scalekit credentials missing:

Scalekit not configured. Please provide:
- SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID
- SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET
- SCALEKIT_ENV_URL

Security Best Practices

1. Never log tokens - use [REDACTED] in logs
2. Add .env to .gitignore - never commit credentials
3. Rotate credentials if exposed
4. Use separate Scalekit accounts for dev/prod
5. Auth links expire in 1 min - act fast!

Troubleshooting

"Module not found" error:

cd skills/scalekit-auth
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Token returns 401:

• Authorization may have expired
• Agent will prompt for re-authorization

Connection not found:

• Check connections.json exists
• Verify connection_name from Scalekit dashboard

Example: Gmail Integration

# In your skill's script
from scalekit_helper import get_token
import requests

def fetch_unread_emails():
    token = get_token("gmail")
    
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}
    url = "https://gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages"
    params = {"q": "is:unread", "maxResults": 5}
    
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)
    return response.json()

Publishing Skills with Scalekit Auth

If your skill uses scalekit-auth:

1. Document in SKILL.md:

   ## Prerequisites
   - Install scalekit-auth skill
   - Configure [SERVICE] connection in Scalekit
   

2. Import in scripts:

   sys.path.append('./skills/scalekit-auth')
   from scalekit_helper import get_token
   

3. Handle errors gracefully - guide users to configure connections

API Reference

get_token(service_name: str) → str

Returns fresh OAuth access token for the service.

Parameters:

• service_name: Service identifier (e.g., "gmail", "slack")

Returns:

• access_token: Fresh OAuth bearer token

Raises:

• ConfigurationError: Service not configured or Scalekit creds missing
• AuthorizationError: User needs to authorize (sends link to user)

Example:

token = get_token("gmail")
print(f"Token: {token[:10]}...")  # Never log full token!

Roadmap

• [ ] Multi-user support (multiple identifiers per service)
• [ ] Token caching (reduce API calls)
• [ ] CLI tool (scalekit-auth config gmail gmail_u3134a)
• [ ] Auto-detect service from API URL
• [ ] Batch token retrieval
