How are global secrets sourced?

Global secrets stored in ~/.env.zsh are automatically sourced by your .zshrc file whenever a new shell session is started.

What is the purpose of the .env.example file?

The .env.example file serves as a documentation template that lists required variable names without exposing actual sensitive values, allowing collaborators to set up their own local environments.

Does this skill prevent me from committing secrets to Git?

Yes, it promotes the use of .env.local and .env.example files while enforcing that sensitive files are properly excluded via .gitignore.

How does this skill handle global vs. local secrets?

It stores global secrets in ~/.env.zsh for system-wide access and local secrets in .env.local for project-specific needs, ensuring credentials are only available where needed.

Do I need extra software for auto-loading variables?

This skill is designed to work with direnv, which automatically loads your environment variables when you navigate into a project directory.

セキュリティとテスト

Manages global and project-specific environment variables and secrets while ensuring secure documentation and storage practices.

概要

The Environment Secrets Manager skill provides standardized workflows for handling sensitive credentials and environment configurations across your development environment. It streamlines the distinction between global system-wide secrets stored in Zsh profiles and project-specific variables, implementing automated loading via direnv and preventing credential leakage through the use of .env.example templates and .gitignore enforcement.
