One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Configure and manage development, staging, and production environments. Use when setting up environment variables, managing configurations, or separating environments. Handles .env files, config management, and environment-specific settings.

Environment Configuration

When to use this skill

New Projects: Initial environment setup
Multiple Environments: Separate dev, staging, production
Team Collaboration: Share consistent environments

Instructions

Step 1: .env File Structure

.env.example (template):

# Application
NODE_ENV=development
PORT=3000
APP_URL=http://localhost:3000

# Database
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/myapp
DATABASE_POOL_MIN=2
DATABASE_POOL_MAX=10

# Redis
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
REDIS_TTL=3600

# Authentication
JWT_ACCESS_SECRET=change-me-in-production-min-32-characters
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=change-me-in-production-min-32-characters
JWT_ACCESS_EXPIRY=15m
JWT_REFRESH_EXPIRY=7d

# Email
SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
SMTP_PORT=587
[email protected]
SMTP_PASSWORD=your-app-password

# External APIs
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_xxx
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_xxx
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAXXXXXXXX
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxxxxxx
AWS_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_S3_BUCKET=myapp-uploads

# Monitoring
SENTRY_DSN=https://[email protected]/xxx
LOG_LEVEL=info

# Feature Flags
ENABLE_2FA=false
ENABLE_ANALYTICS=true

.env.local (per developer):

# Developer personal settings (add to .gitignore)
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/myapp_dev
LOG_LEVEL=debug

.env.production:

NODE_ENV=production
PORT=8080
APP_URL=https://myapp.com

DATABASE_URL=${DATABASE_URL}  # Injected from environment variables
REDIS_URL=${REDIS_URL}

JWT_ACCESS_SECRET=${JWT_ACCESS_SECRET}
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=${JWT_REFRESH_SECRET}

LOG_LEVEL=warn
ENABLE_2FA=true

Step 2: Type-Safe Environment Variables (TypeScript)

config/env.ts:

import { z } from 'zod';
import dotenv from 'dotenv';

// Load .env file
dotenv.config();

// Define schema
const envSchema = z.object({
  NODE_ENV: z.enum(['development', 'production', 'test']),
  PORT: z.coerce.number().default(3000),

  DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),

  JWT_ACCESS_SECRET: z.string().min(32),
  JWT_REFRESH_SECRET: z.string().min(32),

  SMTP_HOST: z.string(),
  SMTP_PORT: z.coerce.number(),
  SMTP_USER: z.string().email(),
  SMTP_PASSWORD: z.string(),

  STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: z.string().startsWith('sk_'),

  LOG_LEVEL: z.enum(['error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug']).default('info'),
});

// Validate and export
export const env = envSchema.parse(process.env);

// Usage:
// import { env } from './config/env';
// console.log(env.DATABASE_URL); // Type-safe!

Error Handling:

try {
  const env = envSchema.parse(process.env);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
    console.error('❌ Invalid environment variables:');
    error.errors.forEach((err) => {
      console.error(`  - ${err.path.join('.')}: ${err.message}`);
    });
    process.exit(1);
  }
}

Step 3: Per-Environment Config Files

config/index.ts:

interface Config {
  env: string;
  port: number;
  database: {
    url: string;
    pool: { min: number; max: number };
  };
  jwt: {
    accessSecret: string;
    refreshSecret: string;
    accessExpiry: string;
    refreshExpiry: string;
  };
  features: {
    enable2FA: boolean;
    enableAnalytics: boolean;
  };
}

const config: Config = {
  env: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development',
  port: parseInt(process.env.PORT || '3000'),

  database: {
    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
    pool: {
      min: parseInt(process.env.DATABASE_POOL_MIN || '2'),
      max: parseInt(process.env.DATABASE_POOL_MAX || '10'),
    },
  },

  jwt: {
    accessSecret: process.env.JWT_ACCESS_SECRET!,
    refreshSecret: process.env.JWT_REFRESH_SECRET!,
    accessExpiry: process.env.JWT_ACCESS_EXPIRY || '15m',
    refreshExpiry: process.env.JWT_REFRESH_EXPIRY || '7d',
  },

  features: {
    enable2FA: process.env.ENABLE_2FA === 'true',
    enableAnalytics: process.env.ENABLE_ANALYTICS !== 'false',
  },
};

// Validate required fields
const requiredEnvVars = [
  'DATABASE_URL',
  'JWT_ACCESS_SECRET',
  'JWT_REFRESH_SECRET',
];

for (const envVar of requiredEnvVars) {
  if (!process.env[envVar]) {
    throw new Error(`Missing required environment variable: ${envVar}`);
  }
}

export default config;

Step 4: Environment-Specific Configuration Files

config/environments/development.ts:

export default {
  logging: {
    level: 'debug',
    prettyPrint: true,
  },
  cors: {
    origin: '*',
    credentials: true,
  },
  rateLimit: {
    enabled: false,
  },
};

config/environments/production.ts:

export default {
  logging: {
    level: 'warn',
    prettyPrint: false,
  },
  cors: {
    origin: process.env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS?.split(',') || [],
    credentials: true,
  },
  rateLimit: {
    enabled: true,
    windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
    max: 100,
  },
};

config/index.ts (unified):

import development from './environments/development';
import production from './environments/production';

const env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';

const configs = {
  development,
  production,
  test: development,
};

export const environmentConfig = configs[env];

Step 5: Docker Environment Variables

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.8'

services:
  app:
    build: .
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=development
      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@db:5432/myapp
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
    env_file:
      - .env.local
    depends_on:
      - db
      - redis

  db:
    image: postgres:15-alpine
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
      POSTGRES_DB: myapp

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
