Env & Secrets Manager

Tier: POWERFUL Category: Engineering Domain: Security / DevOps / Configuration Management

---

Overview

Manage environment-variable hygiene and secrets safety across local development and production workflows. This skill focuses on practical auditing, drift awareness, and rotation readiness.

Core Capabilities

• .env and .env.example lifecycle guidance
• Secret leak detection for repository working trees
• Severity-based findings for likely credentials
• Operational pointers for rotation and containment
• Integration-ready outputs for CI checks

---

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

---

Quick Start

# Scan a repository for likely secret leaks
python3 scripts/env_auditor.py /path/to/repo

# JSON output for CI pipelines
python3 scripts/env_auditor.py /path/to/repo --json

---

Recommended Workflow

1. Run scripts/env_auditor.py on the repository root.
2. Prioritize critical and high findings first.
3. Rotate real credentials and remove exposed values.
4. Update .env.example and .gitignore as needed.
5. Add or tighten pre-commit/CI secret scanning gates.

---

Reference Docs

• references/validation-detection-rotation.md
• references/secret-patterns.md

---

Common Pitfalls

• Committing real values in .env.example
• Rotating one system but missing downstream consumers
• Logging secrets during debugging or incident response
• Treating suspected leaks as low urgency without validation

Best Practices

1. Use a secret manager as the production source of truth.
2. Keep dev env files local and gitignored.
3. Enforce detection in CI before merge.
4. Re-test application paths immediately after credential rotation.
