1password-direnv-secrets

A setup guide for loading 1Password secrets through direnv. 1Password stores credentials, while direnv loads environment variables when you enter a project directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Configuring AWS, database, and API credentials through 1Password references in .env.op files, including local development and CI/CD setups.
Why use it?
It helps keep secret values off disk and avoids repeatedly fetching each credential separately.

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-direnv-secrets 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.

1Password CLI Secret Management

Secure credential management using 1Password CLI with zero plaintext secrets on disk.

Quick Reference

Use Case Approach Details
All secrets (AWS, DB, APIs) direnv + op run Core Pattern
CI/CD automation Service account token Session Management
Creating items for users op item create Programmatic Creation

Key insight: Secrets load once on cd and all subprocesses inherit them (standard Unix fork() behavior). One op call, no re-fetching.


Core Pattern: direnv + op run

Use op run --env-file NOT multiple op read calls.

Approach CLI Invocations Load Time
Multiple op read N per secret ~5 seconds
Single op run 1 ~1 second

Setup

1. .env.op (safe to commit - contains only op:// references):

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="op://Vault/Item/Access Key ID"
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="op://Vault/Item/Secret Access Key"
DB_PASSWORD="op://Vault/Item/password"

2. .envrc (safe to commit - no secrets, just loader command):

direnv_load op run --env-file=.env.op --no-masking \
  --account=yourcompany.1password.com -- direnv dump

3. Enable: direnv allow

Global Helper

Add to ~/.config/direnv/direnvrc:

use_1password() {
  local env_file="${1:-.env.op}" account="${2:-yourcompany.1password.com}"
  [[ -f "$env_file" ]] && direnv_load op run --env-file="$env_file" \
    --no-masking --account="$account" -- direnv dump
}

Then .envrc becomes: use 1password

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
