About This Skill
What it does
This skill allows an AI agent to encrypt and decrypt files using sops (Secrets Operations). It can manage secrets stored in various formats, including AWS KMS, GCP Cloud KMS, Hashicorp Vault, and PGP. The agent can also generate new sops keys for secure secret management.
When to use it
- Securely rotate database credentials: Automate the process of encrypting existing database passwords with a new
sopskey and decrypting them when needed. - Manage API keys in configuration files: Encrypt sensitive information like API keys within configuration files, ensuring they are not exposed in plain text.
- Generate and manage sops encryption keys: Create new keys for encrypting secrets, improving security posture over time.
- Decrypt encrypted files on demand: Retrieve decrypted versions of sensitive files when required by other processes or users.
Key capabilities
- Encrypts files using
sops - Decrypts files using
sops - Manages encryption keys (generation)
- Supports AWS KMS, GCP Cloud KMS, Hashicorp Vault, and PGP backends
Example prompts
- "Encrypt the file
/path/to/sensitive_data.txt." - "Decrypt the file
/encrypted/config.yaml." - "Generate a new sops encryption key using PGP."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure
sopsis installed and configured correctly on the system where the agent will run. Properly configure your backend (e.g., AWS KMS, GCP Cloud KMS) before use.
