What This Skill Does

Adds session-based authentication to Express.js apps using the express-openid-connect SDK. It wires up login, logout, and callback routes automatically, and provides middleware for protecting specific endpoints. It handles the full OpenID Connect handshake, session management, and route protection with a single middleware call, so you don't have to manage tokens, cookies, or callback parsing yourself.
