vault-cli

vault-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from abdullahkhawer/devops-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (874 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for using the HashiCorp Vault command-line tool to inspect stored-secret metadata, access policies, and authentication methods. Vault is a service that stores secrets and controls who can access them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read secret metadata, review policies, and inspect authentication methods in production or non-production Vault environments.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent, environment-specific way to inspect Vault without exposing token contents. It also stops when the target environment or required login setup is unclear.

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 B, and why

vault-cli scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 23d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Save the resulting token to the corresponding token file (see table above), `chmod 600`. Never share credential file contents with the assistant.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HashiCorp Vault CLI Skill

Use the address table and rules below when constructing all vault commands.

Configuration

Update the table below with your Vault cluster addresses before using this skill:

Environment VAULT_ADDR Token File
Production https://<your-vault-prod-addr>:8200 ~/.vault/prod.token
Staging / Non-Prod https://<your-vault-staging-addr>:8200 ~/.vault/staging.token

If the target environment is unclear, ask the user before running any command.

Prerequisites (one-time setup by user)

If vault is not installed or not authenticated, inform the user that setup is required and ask them to complete the following steps manually. Do not perform these steps yourself.

brew install vault
vault login -address=<VAULT_ADDR>

Save the resulting token to the corresponding token file (see table above), chmod 600. Never share credential file contents with the assistant.

Command Format

Always set VAULT_ADDR and VAULT_TOKEN explicitly per command — never rely on shell-exported environment variables that could leak into other sessions:

VAULT_ADDR=<vault-addr> VAULT_TOKEN=$(cat <TOKEN_FILE>) vault <command>

Available Commands

Read-only (safe, no confirmation needed)

Command Description
vault status Show seal/HA status
vault secrets list List enabled secrets engines
vault list <path> List keys at a path (not the secret values)
vault kv metadata get <path> Show a KV secret's metadata (versions, timestamps) — not its value
vault policy list / vault policy read <name> List or show policies
vault auth list List enabled auth methods
vault token lookup Show info about the current token (not other tokens)

Mutating operations (confirm with user before running)

Command Description
vault kv put <path> <data> Write/update a secret value
vault policy write <name> <file> Create or update a policy
vault secrets enable <type> Enable a new secrets engine

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.
