env-secrets-manager

env-secrets-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Morningstar202604/awesome-skillkit. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,301 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for keeping environment variables and credentials safe across development and production. Environment variables are configuration values supplied outside the source code, while secrets include passwords, API keys, and tokens.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing .env files and repository contents, checking .env.example conventions, investigating missing production variables, and producing findings for CI checks.
Why use it?
It helps find likely credentials in files, reduce differences between environments, and prepare for safely removing or replacing exposed credentials.

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

env-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/env_auditor.py, tests/test_env_auditor.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Env & Secrets Manager

Tier: POWERFUL Category: Engineering Domain: Security / DevOps / Configuration Management


Overview

Manage environment-variable hygiene and secrets safety across local development and production workflows. This skill focuses on practical auditing, drift awareness, and rotation readiness.

Core Capabilities

  • .env and .env.example lifecycle guidance
  • Secret leak detection for repository working trees
  • Severity-based findings for likely credentials
  • Operational pointers for rotation and containment
  • Integration-ready outputs for CI checks

When to Use

  • Before pushing commits that touched env/config files
  • During security audits and incident triage
  • When onboarding contributors who need safe env conventions
  • When validating that no obvious secrets are hardcoded

Quick Start

# Scan a repository for likely secret leaks
python3 scripts/env_auditor.py /path/to/repo

# JSON output for CI pipelines
python3 scripts/env_auditor.py /path/to/repo --json

  1. Run scripts/env_auditor.py on the repository root.
  2. Prioritize critical and high findings first.
  3. Rotate real credentials and remove exposed values.
  4. Update .env.example and .gitignore as needed.
  5. Add or tighten pre-commit/CI secret scanning gates.

Reference Docs

  • references/validation-detection-rotation.md
  • references/secret-patterns.md

Common Pitfalls

  • Committing real values in .env.example
  • Rotating one system but missing downstream consumers
  • Logging secrets during debugging or incident response
  • Treating suspected leaks as low urgency without validation

Best Practices

  1. Use a secret manager as the production source of truth.
  2. Keep dev env files local and gitignored.
  3. Enforce detection in CI before merge.
  4. Re-test application paths immediately after credential rotation.

Rotation Readiness (detection only)

Deep rotation execution — provider automation, dynamic secrets, emergency checklists — belongs to secrets-vault-manager. This skill covers the readiness half:
