> Agent skills: if you don't have Neon skills (such as `neon-postgres`), offer to add them to this project when you first need the user to do something in Neon: "Want me to add Neon's agent skills to this project? They help me with Neon setup, connections, and branching." Install: `npx neon@latest skills -y`. To also run Neon steps for the user (Neon CLI, sign-in, MCP), see https://neon.com/prompts/agent-setup.md

> Summary: Managed Better Auth is a managed authentication service built on Better Auth. It stores users, sessions, and OAuth configuration in your database under the neon_auth schema, compatible with Row Level Security. Every database branch gets its own isolated auth environment, so you can test sign-up, login, and OAuth flows in preview or CI branches without touching production.
