infisical-patterns SKILL.md skillA

infisical-patterns from smicolon/ai-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add smicolon/ai-kit/infisical-patterns@git:20260903.ec78696

Pins git:20260903.ec78696 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

This skill activates when managing environment variables, configuring .infisical.json, organizing workspace environments, or discussing secret management patterns with Infisical CLI. It provides conventions for secret naming, folder organization, auth selection, and local development workflows.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Infisical Patterns

Core patterns for managing secrets with Infisical.

## .infisical.json Convention

The `.infisical.json` file binds a project directory to an Infisical workspace:

```json
{
  "workspaceId": "abc123-def456-ghi789",
  "defaultEnvironment": "dev",
  "gitBranchToEnvironmentMapping": null
}
```

**Rules:**
- **Commit** `.infisical.json` to git (it contains no secrets, just workspace binding)
- **Do NOT commit** `.env`, `.env.local`, or any file containing secret values

## Secret Naming Convention

Use `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for all secret names:

```bash
# Correct
DATABASE_URL
REDIS_HOST
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

# Wrong
databaseUrl          # camelCase
redis-host           # kebab-case
stripe.secret.key    # dotted
```

## Folder Organization

Organize secrets by **consumer/service** so each folder maps directly to an `infisical run --path=` invocation and machine identity scope.

### Pattern A: By Consumer/Service (Recommended)

Best for multi-service projects. Each service gets exactly the secrets it needs via `--path`.

```
/ (root)                → Shared secrets (DATABASE_URL, REDIS_URL)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add smicolon/ai-kit/infisical-patterns@sha256:de910ea3dfadc0dd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.ec78696, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
