Secret-Safe Setup

Use this skill when a workflow needs credentials but the user wants the agent to avoid seeing or storing secret values.

Workflow

  1. Explain that AutoVault stores skill instructions and metadata, not secret values.
  2. Ask the user to create credentials in Keychain, 1Password, ssh-agent, a provider CLI, or the deployment platform secret manager.
  3. Reference only the profile or key name in the skill metadata.
  4. Ask the user to run autovault skill setup secret-safe-setup in their own terminal for interactive configuration.
  5. Verify only that the named profile exists; never print the credential value.

Expected Outcome

The skill documents the required credential shape and setup commands while the actual secret remains outside the vault and outside the agent transcript.

A local-first vault for the skills your agents actually use.
