Workflow
- Check OS + shell.
- Verify CLI present:
op --version.
- Confirm desktop app integration is enabled (per get-started) and the app is unlocked.
- Create a fresh tmux session for all
op commands (the shell tool spawns a new TTY per command, so tmux preserves the auth state).
- Sign in inside tmux:
op signin (expect app prompt).
- Verify access inside tmux:
op whoami (must succeed before any secret read).
- If multiple accounts: use
--account or OP_ACCOUNT.
tmux session (required)
Run all op commands inside a dedicated tmux session — the shell tool creates a fresh TTY per command, which drops auth state otherwise.
Example (see tmux skill for socket conventions, do not reuse old session names):
SOCKET_DIR="${OPENCLAW_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR:-${CLAWDBOT_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/openclaw-tmux-sockets}}"
mkdir -p "$SOCKET_DIR"
SOCKET="$SOCKET_DIR/openclaw-op.sock"
SESSION="op-auth-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
tmux -S "$SOCKET" new -d -s "$SESSION" -n shell
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op signin --account my.1password.com" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op whoami" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op vault list" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -J -t "$SESSION":0.0 -S -200
tmux -S "$SOCKET" kill-session -t "$SESSION"
Guardrails
- Never paste secrets into logs, chat, or code.
- Prefer
op run / op inject over writing secrets to disk.
- Use
op account add when sign-in without app integration is needed.
- If a command returns "account is not signed in", re-run
op signin inside tmux and authorize in the app.
- Run
op only inside tmux; if tmux is unavailable, stop and ask.
