Use the Auth skill when your agent says ByteRover needs authentication or cloud sync access for the current workspace. Most users sign in through ByteRover Desktop during setup. Auth is the agent-side approval flow: the agent prints a browser URL and short code, you approve it, then the agent confirms the connection.

​
Ask the agent to authenticate

Ask your agent:
The agent starts the ByteRover auth flow. Manual reference:

​
Open the URL

The agent will print a browser URL, a short code, and an expiry time. Open the URL in your browser and approve the request before the code expires.
Use the URL and code printed by your own agent session. Do not copy a code from docs, screenshots, or another terminal.

​
Return to the agent

After approving in the browser, return to the agent and say:
The agent checks the auth status. Manual reference:

​
Understand the status

​
Sign out

Ask the agent:
Manual reference:

​
Check sync status

If cloud sync seems stuck, ask the agent to check ByteRover sync status. Manual reference:
If the status says auth-expired, run Auth again. Never paste API keys into chat to work around an auth problem.
