Totp 2fa Skill — Development skill for Claude Code

totp-2fa — an Agent Skill for TOTP two-factor authentication

An [Agent Skill](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills) for implementing **TOTP two-factor authentication** (RFC 6238) — the kind Google Authenticator, Aegis, 1Password and Authy generate — correctly and securely.

TOTP is small enough to implement in twenty lines and easy enough to get subtly wrong. Most defects are not in the algorithm: they are in **enrollment**, **storage** and **verification policy**. This skill covers all four, and says plainly which of its guidance is specification-backed and which is practice.

Install

npx skills add JoeBosi/totp-2fa-skill

Or clone into your agent's skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/JoeBosi/totp-2fa-skill \
  ~/.claude/skills/totp-2fa

Works with Claude Code and any agent that reads `SKILL.md` files.

Verification

Both reference implementations pass **every official test vector** in RFC 4226 Appendix D and RFC 6238 Appendix B, and were **cross-ve
