How to use @owlmeans/client-panel — reusable cross-platform UI panel + form components (auth screens, layouts) and the headless navigation model (usePanelNav) shared by web-panel and native-panel. Auto-invoked when importing panel components or building a navigation menu.

How to use @owlmeans/client-i18n — React i18n context built on i18next. Auto-invoked when setting up translation in a React app, using translation hooks, or working with language switching.

How to use @owlmeans/client-flow — the platform-agnostic flow service (makeBasicFlowService) that loads @owlmeans/flow definitions from config records, createFlowClient(context, nav), the runner a screen drives to advance a flow and navigate to each step, and suspendFlow/resumeSuspendedFlow, the side-band landing that returns a person to where they started after sign-in. Auto-invoked when importing client flow primitives, registering a flow service, or moving a screen to the next flow step.

How to use @owlmeans/client-did — the browser/native DID wallet service (makeWalletService, appendDidService, context.getDidService()) plus makeDidAccountModel for signing an authentication challenge with a wallet key. Auto-invoked when importing client DID services, registering a wallet on a client context, or authenticating with a DID key.

How to use @owlmeans/client-context — makeClientContext(), the ClientConfig shape, config() and serviceRoute(alias, makeDefault?) — the platform-agnostic client context every web and native context is built from. Auto-invoked when building a client context, declaring a client config, or resolving a service route on the client.

How to use @owlmeans/client-config — the BasicClientConfig shape every client config extends (webService, primaryHost, primaryPort, shortAlias) and addWebService() for naming which API client carries a call. Auto-invoked when typing a client config, wiring an app to its API service, or resolving which web service an entrypoint calls through.

How to use @owlmeans/client-auth — the browser side of OwlMeans authentication. Root exports the auth service, the shared client entrypoints and the dispatcher HOC; ./manager holds the authentication screen, its control and the plugin registry; ./manager/plugins holds the authentication-plugin contract a plugin package writes against; ./login holds the login-plugin host, the sign-in method registry, the terms confirmation and the useLogin/useLogout hooks. Auto-invoked when importing client-au...

How to use @owlmeans/basic-ids — createIdOfLength and createRandomPrefix for random identifiers, uuid for v4 UUIDs, and generateWordSlug / nextSlugCandidate for human-readable two-word slugs. Auto-invoked when importing ID generation utilities or naming a new record, nonce or organization slug.

How to use @owlmeans/astro — the Astro-side wiring for the OwlMeans browser packages: the head/noscript strings a layout stamps before hydration, the legal-page test that suppresses tracking, and the locale conversion that keeps a default-locale page out of English. Auto-invoked when writing an Astro layout, stamping a tag-manager or consent snippet into a static site, or importing owlHeadScripts, isLegalPath or owlLocale.

How to use @owlmeans/api — the axios-based HTTP client service that carries entrypoint calls between services, its status-to-outcome mapping, typed transport errors and per-request timeout/abort. Auto-invoked when importing the API client, or when ctx.entrypoint(...).call() under the hood is involved.

How to use @owlmeans/api-config — the shared entrypoint declaration and import-time allowlist plugins behind the runtime config document a backend advertises and a frontend merges into its own config at boot. Auto-invoked when importing api-config, or when wiring runtime API config between a server and a client.

How to use @owlmeans/api-config-client — the browser half of the runtime config flow, a loading-stage middleware that fetches the config a backend advertises and merges it into the client config. Auto-invoked when wiring runtime API config into a client app or debugging a client that boots with an incomplete config.

How to build and maintain shadcn UI + Tailwind v4 web packages in the OwlMeans framework. Auto-invoked when editing components.json, tailwind.config.*, globals.css, or files under components/ui/. Use when creating a new shadcn-based web package or adding shadcn components.

How to scaffold a new OwlMeans Common project — the @owlmeans/create-app CLI (npm/bun/yarn create), its flags, what it generates, and the manual alternative. Use when asked to create/bootstrap/start a new OwlMeans app or set up a fresh project.

How OwlMeans UI routing plugins work — the RouterPlugin contract, cascade selection, choosing/switching the router at context provisioning (default OwlMeans vs opt-in react-router), and authoring a new plugin (e.g. SSR). Read before wiring routing in an app or writing a routing plugin.

How OwlMeans login plugins work — the LoginPlugin contract and its seven stages, cascade selection by LoginEnv (embedded / surrogate), the surrogate window and its own route, the redirect and hand-back flows, the resume fast path, framed logout, preconditions, and wiring sign-in with useLogin/useLogout. Read before touching login wiring, an OIDC dispatcher, or sign-in from an embedded app.

The identity-provider choice screen — how a sign-in method is declared, where methods come from, the configuration that decides what is offered, the terms confirmation and credit line, and how a dispatcher composes it. Read before touching a dispatcher, adding an authentication method, or changing what a sign-in screen shows.

How to use @owlmeans/consent and @owlmeans/web-consent — the cookie-consent model, its categories and global-variable seam, the storage contract and its migration, Consent Mode v2 signalling, and the ordering rule that makes a tag manager honour any of it. Auto-invoked when touching consent categories, the dialog, the cookie policy page, or a tag-manager snippet.

How to use @owlmeans/web-wl — the browser half of the white-label contract — the bound WL_PROVIDE entrypoint, the caching WlWebService that loads an organization's white-label set, and the WlLogo component. Auto-invoked when reading white-label data in a web app or rendering a customer's branding.

How to use @owlmeans/web-router — the DEFAULT OwlMeans in-browser routing plugin (History API + pure matcher + React provider/outlet/hooks). Auto-invoked when wiring web routing or importing the browser plugin.

How to use @owlmeans/web-router-react-router — the opt-in React Router v8 routing plugin for OwlMeans (register with appendReactRouter to override the default OwlMeans browser router). Auto-invoked when using react-router with OwlMeans.

How to use @owlmeans/web-panel — base browser context factory (makeContext) with shadcn/Radix + Tailwind and the default OwlMeans router wired in, plus the two-layer navigation shell (NavLayout/TopNav/SideNav/Footer) and form/panel components. Auto-invoked when building a web app's makeContext, wiring its navigation or layout, or importing web panel components.

How to use @owlmeans/web-oidc-rp — the browser OIDC relying party — appendOidcGuard and oidcEntrypoints, the dispatcher screen and its login outcomes, the provider-derived sign-in methods, and building URLs with entrypoint.url(). Auto-invoked when importing web-oidc-rp helpers or working on a browser sign-in flow.

How to use @owlmeans/web-oidc-provider — the browser state model behind an embedded OIDC provider's interaction screens — the interaction uid cookie, the interaction stack, and the OidcAuthState flags a login or consent screen branches on. Auto-invoked when building or changing OIDC provider interaction screens in a web app.
