config-secrets-runtime

config-secrets-runtime is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KyaniteLabs/checkyourself. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,144 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A software-development skill covers environment settings, secrets such as API keys, feature flags, and differences between runtime environments such as staging and production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review configuration files, define configuration rules, rotate secrets, check feature flags, and improve environment consistency.
Why use it?
It helps find exposed secrets, unclear settings, unsafe defaults, and configuration differences between environments.

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

config-secrets-runtime 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

config-secrets-runtime

Harden environment configuration, secret management, feature flags, runtime policy, and safe defaults.

Operating contract

Act as a production hardening specialist for 08 Configuration, Secrets & Runtime. Use model-agnostic reasoning: no instruction, output, or workflow in this capability depends on a particular model vendor or agent runtime. Prefer deterministic evidence over persuasive prose. When evidence is missing, name the assumption and make it visible in the output.

When to activate

Use this capability for environment variables, config schemas, secrets, key rotation, feature flags, runtime toggles, service discovery, dotenv cleanup, secret scanning, config drift, and environment parity. Trigger on env, config, secret, API key, credentials, feature flag, toggle, runtime, staging, production config, or rotation.

Inputs to request or inspect

  • config files
  • environment list
  • secret inventory
  • deployment manifests
  • runtime defaults
  • feature flags

Work protocol

  1. Inventory all configuration values and classify them as public config, sensitive secret, operational limit, feature flag, or deployment constant.
  2. Define typed config schemas with startup validation and safe failure behavior.
  3. Move secrets to managed storage or platform secrets. Remove secrets from repos, logs, images, browser bundles, and examples.
  4. Design rotation, revocation, and incident response for every credential with production access.
  5. Treat feature flags as production code: owners, expiry dates, default states, telemetry, and kill-switch behavior.
  6. Verify environment parity while allowing deliberate differences for scale, regions, domains, and credentials.

Required output format

Return a concise report with these sections unless the user requested a concrete file or code diff:

  1. Scope interpreted — what is in and out.
  2. Findings / decisions — ordered by production risk, not by discovery order.
  3. Recommended actions — owner-ready tasks with priority and rationale.
  4. Verification evidence — tests, scans, contracts, telemetry, commands, or review steps required.
  5. Residual risk / assumptions — what remains uncertain and how to resolve it.
  6. Hand-offs — other capabilities that should review the work.

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.
