Agent Secret - Secure Secret Management

This skill enables you to manage secrets securely using the OS keychain. Values are never exposed in terminal output.

Supported Files

Works with files containing .env in the name (e.g., .env, .env.local, .env.prod).

Core Concepts

1. Secret Name vs. File Key

Understanding this distinction is critical:

• Stored Secret: How it's saved in the keychain (e.g., PROJECTX_STRIPE_KEY)
• File Key: How it appears in the .env file (e.g., STRIPE_KEY)
• Mapping: Use STORED_NAME:FILE_KEY to bridge them.
  • agent-secret inject PROJECTX_STRIPE_KEY:STRIPE_KEY

2. Intelligent Secret Matching

CRITICAL: Be smart about matching user requests to stored secrets.

Prefix Handling: Secret names often have project prefixes: TRAVELER_GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY. When checking or injecting, usually remove the prefix for the file key: GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY.

Service Matching: Match user mentions to secret names (fuzzy):

| User says | Look for secrets containing | |-----------|-----------------------------| | "google", "maps" | GOOGLE_MAPS | | "stripe" | STRIPE | | "supabase" | SUPABASE | | "aws" | AWS | | "db", "database" | DATABASE, DB | | "openai" | OPENAI |

Command Reference

Store & Manage

• agent-secret set <NAME>: Prompts for secret value (hidden input).
• agent-secret list: Lists names of all stored secrets.
• agent-secret delete <NAME>: Removes a secret.

Check & Verify

• agent-secret check <KEY> [-f file] [-q]: Verifies if a key exists in the file.
  • -q (quiet): Returns exit code only (0=found, 1=missing). Useful for logic checks.
• agent-secret check --list [-f file]: Lists all keys present in the target .env file.

Inject (Write)

• agent-secret inject <SPEC>... [-f file]: Injects secrets into a file.
  • Simple: inject API_KEY (Stored name == File key)
  • Mapped: inject PROJECT_API_KEY:API_KEY (Stored name != File key)
  • Multiple: inject KEY1 KEY2 PROJECT_KEY3:KEY3

Operating Workflows

1. Smart Discovery (User mentions service)

User: "Add google maps to .env"

1. List first: Run agent-secret list to see what's available.
2. Match: Find TRAVELER_GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY.
3. Inject: Remove prefix and inject.

   agent-secret inject TRAVELER_GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY:GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY -f .env
   

2. Checking Prerequisites

Before running commands that need secrets, verify they exist silently.

agent-secret check DATABASE_URL -q || echo "Missing DATABASE_URL"

3. Setting Up New Projects

1. Store: Ask user to set secrets first.

   agent-secret set PROJECT_API_KEY
   

2. Inject: Write to the project file.

   agent-secret inject PROJECT_API_KEY:API_KEY -f .env
   

4. Missing Secrets

If a secret is missing (check fails):

1. Inform user: "Secret XYZ is not stored."
2. Provide command: "Run agent-secret set XYZ."
3. Wait for user action.

Rules of Engagement

1. Never expose values: Do not read or print secret values.
2. Always List First: Don't guess secret names; check list output.
3. Use Mappings: Standardize .env keys by stripping project prefixes.
4. Feedback: Report "Configured" or "Missing", not the content.
