secrets

secrets is a skill for Claude Code from nitinjain999/platform-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (4,256 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of workflows for choosing, creating, rotating, backing up, and auditing secrets used by Kubernetes workloads. It covers External Secrets Operator, which syncs secrets from an external provider, and Sealed Secrets, which stores encrypted secret data for Kubernetes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a cluster secret strategy, create or troubleshoot secret synchronization, seal and rotate encrypted secrets, back up the sealing key, write rotation runbooks, or audit Kubernetes secrets.
Why use it?
It helps avoid plain or poorly managed credentials and gives teams a repeatable way to replace compromised or expiring values. Audits can also reveal unhealthy secret syncs and risky service-account tokens.

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

secrets scanned grade A 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 15d 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.

Secrets Command

Structured guidance for secrets strategy, External Secrets Operator, Sealed Secrets, rotation, and Kubernetes-side secrets audit.

Activation

/platform-skills:secrets design   # ESO vs Sealed Secrets decision; choose a strategy for the cluster
/platform-skills:secrets eso      # ExternalSecret/SecretStore scaffold; debug sync errors
/platform-skills:secrets sealed   # seal, rotate, backup master key; troubleshoot decryption failures
/platform-skills:secrets rotate   # rotation runbook — update provider value, force sync, verify pods reload
/platform-skills:secrets audit    # find bad SA tokens, unhealthy ExternalSecrets, missing secrets

Interactive Wizard (fires when no mode is provided)

When invoked with no arguments, ask before proceeding:

Q1 — Mode?

What do you need?
  1. design   — choose ESO vs Sealed Secrets for a cluster or workload
  2. eso      — scaffold ExternalSecret/SecretStore, or debug a sync error
  3. sealed   — seal a new secret, rotate an existing one, or back up the master key
  4. rotate   — end-to-end rotation runbook for a live secret
  5. audit    — find service account token secrets, unhealthy ExternalSecrets, plain secrets in Git

Enter 1–5 or mode name:

Q2 — Context (after mode selected):

  • design: What is the backend — AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault, or no cloud provider?
  • eso: Paste the ExternalSecret or SecretStore YAML, or describe the sync error.
  • sealed: New secret or rotating an existing one? Which namespace?
  • rotate: Which secret is rotating — database password, API key, TLS cert? Which backend?
  • audit: Cluster name and namespace scope. Any specific concern — Git scan, SA tokens, ESO health?

Mode: design

Triggers: which pattern, ESO vs Sealed Secrets, choose secrets strategy, what should I use

Read references/secrets.md before responding.

Decision matrix

Pattern Best for Tradeoff
External Secrets Operator (ESO) Cloud-native backends: AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager, HashiCorp Vault Runtime dependency on provider; requires workload identity or static credentials
Sealed Secrets Air-gapped or GitOps-first teams; no external runtime dependency Rotation requires re-sealing and a Git commit; master key backup is critical

secrets is a skill published in the GitHub repository nitinjain999/platform-skills (70 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 4,256 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-12.
