How does this skill handle 1Password authentication?

The skill detects your setup and supports three authentication modes: service account tokens (recommended for headless environments), desktop app integration with biometric unlock, and standalone interactive CLI sign-in managed via tmux.

Can I use this skill with multiple 1Password accounts?

Yes, you can target specific accounts using the `--account` parameter or by setting the `OP_ACCOUNT` environment variable.

Are passwords and secrets exposed to Claude or saved to disk?

No. The skill enforces security guardrails to prevent writing secrets to disk or printing them into logs and chat context. It leverages `op run` and `op inject` for in-memory variable injection.

What is the prerequisite software for using this skill?

You need the official 1Password CLI (`op`) installed on your system, which can be installed via Homebrew or official package managers.
