Claude-assisted development of an OAuth provider library
Cloudflare built an OAuth library with Claude and reviewed its output for security and standards compliance
Problem
Cloudflare needed an OAuth provider library for use by its staff. Authentication code required careful checks against security requirements and protocol standards.
Approach
Kenton Varda used Claude to generate much of the TypeScript implementation. Cloudflare engineers reviewed the output against relevant standards and prompted further corrections. The company published the code and development history.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
Generating authentication code still required detailed review by engineers with security expertise.
