1password-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lyhcode/agent-skills. It costs 128 tokens per session (1,731 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide for using the 1Password command-line tool to manage passwords, vaults, and other secrets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read, create, update, or remove 1Password items; manage vaults; inject secrets into configuration; or run commands with secret environment variables.
Why use it?
It helps keep sensitive values out of terminal history, logs, shell variables, and files that could be committed to version control.

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 C, and why

1password-cli scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

1Password CLI (op) Assistant

Help users manage 1Password secrets and items using the op CLI.

Prerequisites

  • The op CLI must be installed (brew install 1password-cli on macOS)
  • Desktop app integration must be enabled (1Password app > Settings > Developer > Integrate with 1Password CLI)
  • Verify setup: op whoami

Security Principles

Secrets that leak into terminal output, shell history, or version-controlled files are hard to revoke and easy to miss. These guidelines reduce that surface area:

  1. Avoid printing raw secrets unless the user explicitly asks. Prefer op read --out-file or op run to keep secrets out of scrollback and logs.
  2. Use --format=json for list/get commands — structured output is easier to parse and less likely to be misread.
  3. Use JSON templates when creating/editing items with sensitive values. Inline assignment statements ('password=...') can appear in ps output on shared machines.
  4. Prefer op:// references over reading secrets into shell variables. References are resolved just-in-time and never persist in memory.
  5. Keep secrets out of version control. Don't write resolved values to files that might be committed. Use .env files with op:// references instead.
  6. Delete template files after use — they contain resolved secrets on disk.

Reference Files

This skill includes two reference files for detailed lookups. Consult them as needed:

File When to use
reference/commands.md Looking up specific flags, subcommands, field assignment syntax, or shell completion setup
reference/conventions.md Deciding item categories, naming items, organizing vaults, choosing field types, Markdown syntax limits in notes, or reviewing the best-practices checklist

Secret References (op://)

The op:// URI is the core abstraction — it points to a secret without exposing it:

op://<vault>/<item>/[<section>/]<field>[?<query>]

What ships with it

2 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.
