secrets-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pbc-os/smb-starter-kit. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,933 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for setting up secure storage for passwords, API keys, and other credentials used by an AI agent. It covers services including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, 1Password, Doppler, and HashiCorp Vault.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a secrets platform, configure access, store credentials, and connect an agent to external tools without exposing raw keys.
Why use it?
It helps keep sensitive credentials out of code, chat messages, and unsafe configuration files. It also guides the account and command-line setup needed for the agent to access services securely.

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-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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/test_secret.sh, scripts/verify_access.sh), 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.

Secrets Manager — Give Your AI Agent Keys to the Kingdom

1. The Vision: Why This Changes Everything

Right now you're chatting with an AI. That's 1% of what's possible.

Without secrets management, your AI agent is a brain in a jar — it can think, but it can't do anything:

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Now look what happens when you give the agent secure access to your tools:

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.
