Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The secrets-management skill enables AI agents to securely retrieve and utilize sensitive configuration data, such as API keys and database credentials, without exposing them in prompts or logs. It acts as a bridge between an agent's execution environment and secure storage systems like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.

When to use it

  • Deploying autonomous agents that require live access to external services (e.g., Slack bots needing OAuth tokens).
  • Running local development tools that must connect to private cloud infrastructure or databases.
  • Automating CI/CD pipelines where agents need temporary, scoped credentials for deployment tasks.
  • Managing multi-tenant applications where each agent instance requires distinct, isolated secret access.

Key capabilities

  • Secure retrieval of plaintext secrets from external vaults.
  • Dynamic injection of credentials into the agent's runtime environment.
  • Prevention of sensitive data leakage into conversation history or model outputs.
  • Support for various secret management backends including HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager.

Example prompts

  • "Connect to our staging database using the credentials retrieved from the vault for this session."
  • "Generate a deployment script that injects the necessary API keys securely before execution."
  • "List all available secrets in the 'production' namespace without displaying their values."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your agent has explicit permission to access the specific secret store configured; default agents often lack these privileges. Always verify that the secret retrieval logic runs within a trusted, isolated environment to prevent credential theft.
