1password-environments

A skill for managing 1Password Developer Environments, which store environment variables such as application settings and secrets. It uses the bundled 1Password MCP server to create, import, inspect, edit, and rename these environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import .env files, create or rename environments, list variable names, add or update variables, and mount local environment files on macOS or Linux.
Why use it?
It helps keep environment values in 1Password and explains how to load them into projects, including platform limits for local .env mounts.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

1password-environments scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

1Password Environments

Workflow for the 1Password MCP tools bundled with this plugin. Read this skill before calling MCP tools — the MCP server's built-in docs cover tool basics but omit import-and-mount steps. Conceptual background and edge cases: reference.md.

Prerequisites

  • macOS or Linux with the 1Password desktop app installed (MCP, local .env mounts, and mount validation are not supported on Windows)
  • MCP Server Labs experiment enabled in the desktop app (onepassword://settings/labs)
  • Plugin installed (registers 1password-mcp MCP config, this skill, and mount validation hooks together)

Setup details: reference.md

Windows

Detect the platform before any workflow (user_info OS, C:\ paths, OS=Windows_NT, etc.). On Windows, local .env mounts and the desktop MCP server are not supported.

Hard stop: do not call create_local_env_file, attempt mounting, or run mount-only flows. Import is complete after create_environment (or resolve) + append_variables.

Recommend 1Password CLI environment injection (Load secrets into the environment).

Example to share:

op run --environment=<environmentId> -- <their-start-command>

Use the environmentId from the import response. Apps that read a .env file from disk need this wrapper.

This section overrides mount steps below on Windows.

Not done until

Import / create from .env (including "using values from the project .env"):

  • Environment created or resolved
  • Variables appended via append_variables
  • create_local_env_file at the source .env absolute path — always
  • Mount verified with list_local_env_files

Mounting at the source .env path is mandatory, not optional follow-up. The only exception is the user explicitly opting out ("without mounting", "do not mount", "skip the mount"). Never ask "want me to mount?" — just mount.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

1password-environments is a skill published in the GitHub repository 1Password/cursor-plugin (10 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 1,951 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
