pluggedin-app: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/sops-secrets/SKILL.md

sops-secrets is a skill for Claude Code from VeriTeknik/pluggedin-app. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,408 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for managing production secrets stored in an encrypted SOPS file. SOPS is a tool that encrypts configuration values while allowing controlled editing and deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read, add, change, or rotate secrets, add encryption recipients, and apply the encrypted secret file to production.
Why use it?
It prevents common mistakes when reading or changing encrypted environment variables, including using the wrong file format options or forgetting the required key file.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is VeriTeknik/pluggedin-app's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pluggedin-app itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pluggedin-app configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./infra/scripts/deploy.sh.

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

sops-secrets 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SOPS secrets for plugged.in

All production secrets live encrypted in infra/sops/secrets.env.sops, age-encrypted and committed to a public repo. deploy.sh decrypts them to tmpfs at deploy time.

Core rule: every sops command on this file needs explicit dotenv types. The filename ends .sops, which sops does not recognise, so it falls back to JSON and dies on the first # comment:

Error unmarshalling input json: invalid character '#' looking for beginning of value

Seeing that error means you forgot --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv.

Quick reference

Task Command
Read a value sops -d --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv infra/sops/secrets.env.sops | grep '^KEY='
Add / change a secret sops --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv infra/sops/secrets.env.sops
Add an age recipient decrypt → re-encrypt, see below
Apply to production ./infra/scripts/deploy.shrequired, see below

Always export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=/etc/sops/age/keys.txt first.

Adding or changing a secret

export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=/etc/sops/age/keys.txt
sops --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv infra/sops/secrets.env.sops
# $EDITOR opens the decrypted content; add KEY=value; save
git commit -am "ops: add KEY"
./infra/scripts/deploy.sh

The deploy is not optional. deploy.sh is what decrypts the blob to /run/sops/secrets.env, which containers mount. Editing the blob without deploying changes nothing that is running, and the next unrelated deploy will silently pick the change up — which is how a config change gets blamed on the wrong commit.

Write values literally — no escaping of any kind. Nothing between sops and the process interpolates: the app parses the mounted file with dotenv and Postgres reads a *_FILE. A $ you double becomes a literal $$.

(Historical note, because the reverse used to be true: while services used env_file:, Compose interpolated it and truncated values at the first $, so deploy.sh doubled them. That step was removed when secrets moved out of the environment — keeping it would have corrupted exactly the bcrypt-shaped secrets it was added to protect.)

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.

sops-secrets is a skill published in the GitHub repository VeriTeknik/pluggedin-app (99 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,408 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
