What Secrets does

Secrets secures API keys, access tokens, passwords, webhook secrets, and other credentials by requesting them from the user and writing them to a dotenv file without exposing values to the agent. Use it when configuring an application or deployment environment that requires secrets.

Secrets is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Secrets comes from a repository tagged ade, agent-ide, claude-code, codex and devtools.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Request secrets securely

Use bb secret request whenever work needs a credential. Do not ask the user to paste a secret into chat.

Batch every currently known variable into one request. Inspect documentation or .env.example to identify variable names, but do not read or print an existing secret-bearing env file.

bb secret request OPENAI_API_KEY RESEND_API_KEY \
  --purpose "Configure application credentials" \
  --describe OPENAI_API_KEY "OpenAI API key used by the server" \
  --describe RESEND_API_KEY "Resend API key used for transactional email" \
  --write-env .env.local
