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

infisical-self-host 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 12d 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.

Infisical Self-Hosted Deployment

This skill guides you through deploying, configuring, and operating Infisical in self-hosted environments. Whether you are running Infisical on Docker, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes, this resource covers essential setup, security hardening, scaling, and maintenance patterns.

Not this skill

If the user wants... Use
To deploy the Kubernetes Operator (also a Helm chart, different thing) infisical-kubernetes-operator
To reach a private resource from Infisical infisical-gateway
To configure SSO or SCIM on their instance infisical-sso
Roles, permissions, audit log streams infisical-access-control
To use Infisical once it is running infisical-setup
An external KMS or HSM backing the root key infisical-kms

The Helm confusion is worth pre-empting: the secrets-operator chart installs the operator; this skill covers the chart that installs the platform. Both come from the same Cloudsmith repo.

Guiding Principles

  1. ENCRYPTION_KEY is Critical: This key encrypts all secrets at rest and cannot be recovered if lost. Back it up and rotate it carefully following Infisical's rotation procedures.

    • Standard deployments: a random 16-byte hex string — openssl rand -hex 16
    • FIPS-enabled deployments: a 256-bit base64 key insteadopenssl rand -base64 32
  2. AUTH_SECRET is Required: This key is used for session and JWT signing. It is 32 bytes (base64), generated with openssl rand -base64 32, and must be stable across restarts.

  3. Database Requirements: PostgreSQL is the only supported database. Use 14+ for compatibility; Infisical is extensively tested on 16. Always backup your database before upgrading Infisical. Schema migrations run automatically on boot (since v0.111.0-postgres).

  4. Redis is a hard dependency, not just a cache: Beyond caching it holds the background job queue, distributed locks, cross-instance coordination state, and rate-limit counters. The instance will not start unless one of REDIS_URL, REDIS_SENTINEL_HOSTS, or REDIS_CLUSTER_HOSTS is set, and a running instance is degraded while Redis is unreachable.

    • Use Redis 6.x or 7.x; at least 6.2 is advised
    • All three topologies are supported: standalone, Sentinel, and Cluster
    • Active-passive is recommended. Active-active has not been tested and may behave in undocumented ways
    • Set the eviction policy to noeviction. This is required, not a tuning suggestion — evicting keys under memory pressure would silently drop queued work
    • Enable persistence (AOF, or at minimum RDB snapshots) and back Redis up. Pending secret rotations, syncs, and webhook deliveries live there; a Redis that comes back empty loses them
    • Give Redis the same availability target as the app instances — an unreplicated Redis is a single point of failure for the whole deployment

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.

infisical-self-host is a skill published in the GitHub repository Infisical/ai-skills (29 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 1,416 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 2026-08-30.
