Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00297 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00148 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
secrets-management 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 6d 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.
What it actually says
Skill: Secrets Management
When to load
When provisioning a new service, rotating credentials, or setting up CI/CD secrets.
Secrets Hierarchy
Level 1: Static secrets (rotate quarterly)
→ AWS Secrets Manager / HashiCorp Vault
→ Database passwords, API keys for external services
Level 2: Dynamic secrets (auto-expire, 1 hour)
→ Vault dynamic secrets / AWS IAM OIDC roles
Level 3: Runtime injection (never on disk)
→ K8s ExternalSecrets Operator → mounts as env vars
→ Never in container image or Git
ExternalSecrets Pattern
apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: ExternalSecret
spec:
refreshInterval: 1h
secretStoreRef: { kind: ClusterSecretStore, name: aws-secretsmanager }
data:
- secretKey: DATABASE_URL
remoteRef: { key: prod/api/database, property: connection_string }
- secretKey: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
remoteRef: { key: prod/api/stripe, property: secret_key }
Rotation Checklist
- New secret created, old secret still active
- Service updated to accept both (dual-read window)
- New secret deployed and verified
- Old secret revoked
- Rotation documented (next rotation: +90 days)
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.

secrets-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (17 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 297 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
