What is secrets-1password?

A set of guidance for External Secrets, PushSecrets, and 1Password-backed Kubernetes secrets. External Secrets is a controller that copies values from a secret store into Kubernetes Secrets.

Use it when adding or editing secret references, troubleshooting authentication, or checking why an application cannot use a synchronized secret.

It prevents reading from the wrong 1Password vault and explains why a report of successful synchronization can still produce an empty value. It also limits secret writes to the intended store and access scope.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00082	$0.00831
Opus 5.5	$0.00033	$0.00332
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00166
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00083

Security

Grade A, and why

secrets-1password 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 25d 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.

Secrets: ExternalSecret, PushSecret and 1Password

Home-Lab and Homelab are different vaults. Mixing them is the usual reason a new secret never arrives.

Tripwires

Connect cannot see Home-Lab. Vals (bootstrap and Talos) resolves ref+op://Home-Lab/... with the op CLI. In-cluster External Secrets uses 1Password Connect, which sees Homelab, Automation, and Services only. No ExternalSecret or PushSecret can read or write Home-Lab. Machine-maintained items live in a Connect-visible vault.
A write that must land in one vault uses onepassword-automation. The shared onepassword ClusterSecretStore lists three vaults and picks by priority, so the target is not deterministic. The single-vault store is cluster-scoped on purpose: a namespaced SecretStore may only reference a Secret in its own namespace, and the Connect token lives in security.
SecretSynced / Ready=True does not mean non-empty. ESO writes a present-but-empty 1Password field as a zero-length string and reports healthy. On an auth failure, check the Secret key length (base64 -d | wc -c), not the ExternalSecret status.
Never seed a Secret with client-side kubectl apply. The value is stored in kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration. Use kubectl create, or server-side apply, and do not print the value.
Connect token and service-account token are different credentials. OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN is what vals uses for Home-Lab on a workstation. OP_CONNECT_TOKEN is a Connect access token, scoped to a whole vault (not an item) and used by CI against Connect. Do not reuse the cluster's ESO Connect token for CI. Skill authentik-terraform for the Automation-vault scope of the terraform-diff token.
resources/ is not a secret path. Renovate ignores it, and plaintext in git is forbidden. Bootstrap secrets stay ref+op://Home-Lab/....

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.

secrets-1password is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aviator-Coding/home-ops (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 831 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-29.
