Part of PROT-875. Independent — no ordering constraint.

Clerk renamed the customer-facing feature "Client Trust" → "Device Trust". This repo was flagged by @manovotny while reviewing clerk/clerk#3051: the renamed guide at /docs/guides/secure/device-trust explicitly tells agents to install these skills, so leaving the old name here means the docs and the skills disagree.

Changes — copy only, 2 lines

  • skills/core/clerk-custom-ui/core-3/custom-sign-in.md — the ## Client Trust section heading
  • skills/core/clerk-cli/references/recipes.md — one sentence of prose

Not changed

The needs_client_trust status value is untouched, here and everywhere else in the rename. Per Kyle in the naming thread: "we don't have to change APIs but the way we discuss clients externally should flip to devices." The code sample in custom-sign-in.md still checks signIn.status === 'needs_client_trust', which remains correct.

Part of PROT-875. The clerk.com guide these skills accompany is now titled
Device Trust, and it tells agents to install this bundle -- so the old name
here contradicts the docs it ships alongside.

Copy only. The `needs_client_trust` status value is unchanged, since the
API is not being renamed.
skills/mobile/clerk-expo/evals/evals.json described the expected output as
"MFA/client-trust branches handled". The needs_client_trust status value in
the same eval is unchanged.
