Clerk Core Workflow B: Session & Middleware
Overview
Implement session management and route protection with Clerk middleware. Covers
clerkMiddleware() configuration, auth() patterns, custom session claims, JWT
templates for external services, organization-scoped sessions, and session token v2.
Use when managing user sessions, configuring route protection, or implementing token refresh and custom JWT templates.
Prerequisites
@clerk/nextjsinstalled with ClerkProvider wrapping the app- Next.js 14+ with App Router (or adapt patterns for your stack)
- Working publishable + secret Clerk keys in env
Instructions
- Confirm ClerkProvider and env keys are live (see
clerk-install-auth/clerk-hello-world). - Configure
clerkMiddleware()matcher / public routes for the routes you want open. - Use
auth()/currentUser()on protected pages and API routes; fail closed when unauthenticated. - For custom claims or external JWT consumers, configure session token templates carefully (size limits).
- For org-scoped apps, bind authorization to org id + role claims, not only user id.
- Verify: signed-out user cannot hit protected routes; signed-in user can; org role gates hold.
Deep patterns, JWT templates, and edge cases: session-middleware-deep-dive.md.
Output
- Session/middleware configuration enforcing the requested protection rules
- Documented JWT/session claim changes when customized
- Verification steps for protected vs public routes
Examples
Protect all routes except marketing
User: Protect everything except /, /pricing, and Clerk sign-in routes.
Skill: configures clerkMiddleware publicRoutes / matcher and verifies unauth redirect.
Custom session claim for plan tier
User: Put plan_tier on the session JWT for feature flags.
Skill: configures session token template and validates claim size + read path.
