Documentation

README

Excerpt

harness-secrets

Codex skill for GCP Secret Manager — check / fetch / validate-token.

Modes

check

Validates the full GCP setup (gcloud on PATH, active project, auth principal, secret exists, WIF pool present). Use this when bootstrapping a new GCP project for publish.

/harness-secrets mode=check
/harness-secrets mode=check secret=NPM_TOKEN_DEV
/harness-secrets mode=check project=my-gcp-project secret=NPM_TOKEN

fetch

Fetches a secret value to stdout. Use in pipelines:

/harness-secrets mode=fetch secret=NPM_TOKEN
/harness-secrets mode=fetch secret=GH_TOKEN version=3

validate-token

Fetches NPM_TOKEN and runs npm whoami against the registry. No publish — just confirms the token isn't revoked. Use this BEFORE you tag a release.
