2. Create new app with redirect URI: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
3. Save the client_id and client_secret

Then authenticate:

# First time: provide credentials (saved for future use)
node <skill-dir>/scripts/auth-login.js --client-id "YOUR_CLIENT_ID" --client-secret "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"

# Subsequent logins (credentials remembered)
node <skill-dir>/scripts/auth-login.js

Follow the prompts: open the URL in browser, authorize, paste the code back.
