aws-sdk-java-v2-secrets-manager

aws-sdk-java-v2-secrets-manager is a skill for Claude Code from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Java guidance for using AWS Secrets Manager to store and retrieve passwords, API keys, tokens, and other sensitive configuration. It includes safe access, caching, version stages, rotation, and Spring Boot integration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Load database or third-party credentials at runtime, cache retrieved secrets, connect secrets to Spring Boot settings, and handle current or pending rotated versions.
Why use it?
It helps replace hardcoded credentials and keeps secret values out of ordinary configuration and logs. It also supports applications that need to use new secret versions during rotation.

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

aws-sdk-java-v2-secrets-manager 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 1mo 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.

AWS SDK for Java 2.x - AWS Secrets Manager

Overview

Use this skill to manage application secrets with AWS Secrets Manager from Java services.

It focuses on the operational flow that matters in production:

  • how to retrieve and deserialize secrets safely
  • when to add local caching
  • how to integrate secret access into Spring Boot without leaking values into logs or configuration files

Keep large API notes and extended setup details in the bundled references.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • replacing hardcoded passwords, API keys, or tokens with managed secrets
  • loading database credentials or third-party API credentials at runtime
  • adding caching to reduce Secrets Manager latency and API cost
  • handling secret version stages such as AWSCURRENT and AWSPENDING
  • wiring secret access into Spring Boot beans or configuration services
  • preparing rotation-aware applications or Lambda rotation workflows

Typical trigger phrases include java secrets manager, spring boot secret, aws secret cache, load db credentials from secrets manager, and rotate secret.

Instructions

1. Model the secret before writing access code

Decide:

  • the secret name and path convention
  • whether the value is plain text or structured JSON
  • which application boundary is allowed to read it
  • whether the caller needs the latest value on every request or can tolerate a cache

Prefer JSON secrets for multi-field credentials such as database connection details.

2. Create one reusable client per application configuration

Use a single SecretsManagerClient with explicit region and the default credential provider chain unless the environment requires something more specific.

Keep client creation in configuration code, not in business services.

3. Retrieve and deserialize at the boundary layer

At the integration boundary:

  • fetch with GetSecretValueRequest
  • deserialize JSON into a typed object or validated map
  • convert AWS exceptions into application-level errors
  • never log secretString() or include it in thrown exception messages

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.
