Check `package.json` to determine the Clerk SDK version. This determines which patterns to use:
Check package.json to determine the Clerk SDK version. This determines which patterns to use:
| Package | Core 2 (LTS until Jan 2027) | Current |
|---|---|---|
@clerk/nextjs | v5–v6 | v7+ |
@clerk/react or @clerk/clerk-react | v5–v6 | v7+ |
@clerk/expo or @clerk/clerk-expo | v1–v2 | v3+ |
@clerk/react-router | v1–v2 | v3+ |
@clerk/tanstack-react-start | < v0.26.0 | v0.26.0+ |
Default to current if the version is unclear or the project is new. Core 2 packages use @clerk/clerk-react and @clerk/clerk-expo (with clerk- prefix); current packages use @clerk/react and @clerk/expo.
All skills are written for the current SDK. When something differs in Core 2, it's noted inline with > **Core 2 ONLY (skip if current SDK):** callouts. The exception is clerk-custom-ui, which has separate core-2/ and core-3/ directories for custom flow hooks since those APIs are entirely different between versions.
