What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Environment variable hygiene, secret leak detection, and credential rotation workflows. TRIGGER when: working with .env files, secret management, credential rotation, pre-commit secret scanning, or investigating leaked credentials. DO NOT TRIGGER when: general config file editing, non-secret environment setup, or infrastructure provisioning (use relevant infra skill).

Env & Secrets Manager

Manage environment-variable hygiene and secrets safety across local development and production workflows. Covers auditing, leak detection, rotation, and preventive controls.

What You Get

Secret leak detection with regex-based scanning (staged files and git history)
Severity-based findings (critical/high/medium) with response playbook
Credential rotation workflows (AWS, Stripe, GitHub PAT, DB, JWT)
Cloud secret store integration guidance (Vault, AWS SM, Azure KV, GCP SM)
CI/CD secret injection patterns (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
Pre-commit detection setup (gitleaks, detect-secrets)

When to Use

Before pushing commits that touched env/config files
During security audits and incident triage
When onboarding contributors who need safe env conventions
When validating that no obvious secrets are hardcoded

Recommended Workflow

Scan the repository for likely secret leaks (see references/secret-patterns.md)
Prioritize critical and high findings first
Rotate real credentials and remove exposed values
Update .env.example and .gitignore as needed
Add or tighten pre-commit/CI secret scanning gates

WRONG: secrets in code and examples

# WRONG: real credentials in .env.example
DATABASE_URL=postgres://admin:[email protected]/myapp
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_abc123xyz

CORRECT: placeholders only

# CORRECT: .env.example with safe placeholders
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@localhost/myapp_dev
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_REPLACE_ME

Common Pitfalls

Mistake	Why it's bad
Committing real values in `.env.example`	Example files get pushed; real secrets in git history
Rotating one system but missing downstream consumers	Partial rotation causes outages
Logging secrets during debugging	Logs persist in CI artifacts, observability platforms
Treating suspected leaks as low urgency	Automated scrapers act within minutes of public exposure
Using `echo` on secrets in CI pipelines	Even with masking, secrets can leak via `toJSON()` or redirects

Best Practices

Use a secret manager as the production source of truth (never .env in prod)
Keep dev env files local and gitignored
Enforce detection in CI before merge
Re-test application paths immediately after credential rotation
Commit only .env.example, never .env

`references/rotation-and-detection.md`	Validation scripts, scanning tools, rotation workflow, pre-commit setup, cloud stores, CI/CD patterns

Cloud Secret Store Quick Reference

Provider	Best For	Key Feature
HashiCorp Vault	Multi-cloud / hybrid	Dynamic secrets, policy engine
AWS Secrets Manager	AWS-native	Lambda/ECS/EKS integration, auto RDS rotation
Azure Key Vault	Azure-native	Managed HSM, Azure AD RBAC
GCP Secret Manager	GCP-native	IAM-based access, versioning
1Password	Developer workflows	CLI (`op`), Connect server, SSH agent

Selection: Single cloud -> cloud-native store. Multi-cloud -> Vault. Developer/team -> 1Password or Doppler.
