WorkOS CLI Installs AuthKit in 15 Frameworks with No Node.js Required
Summary
WorkOS ships a standalone CLI that installs its AuthKit authentication into existing projects across 15 frameworks, including Next.js, Express, Rails and Django. The binary needs no Node.js or npm install, and the first agent-driven command downloads a roughly 230 MB Claude agent runtime, the company says. Running it in an empty directory scaffolds a Next.js app first.
Key Points
- WorkOS says running workos install without credentials auto-provisions a temporary environment so developers try AuthKit with no account.
- WorkOS says the installer leaves generated changes unstaged and never commits, pushes, or opens a pull request.
- WorkOS says the CLI collects anonymous command, session, and crash telemetry, which users disable with WORKOS_TELEMETRY=false.
