Manage API keys for the runner's --execute layer. CRUD on ~/.skills.env (chmod 600): list / add / update / remove / verify / export. Covers OpenAI, Gemini, BFL, FAL, Replicate, Runway, Kling, Suno, Eleven, Ideogram, Anthropic, S3. Use when: 'add my OpenAI key', 'rotate the Suno key', 'which keys are set', 'verify my key works'.

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

<objective>
Provide a thin CLI on top of `~/.skills.env` (the runner's key store) so users can manage keys WITHOUT editing dotfiles by hand. Values are stored plaintext but chmod 600. Each runner reads the file at startup, merging entries into `os.environ` without overriding explicit shell exports.

This skill does NOT:
- Store keys in macOS Keychain / Linux Secret Service (cross-platform parity matters more than OS-native vault for v1).
- Encrypt the file at rest (chmod 600 is the v1 posture).
- Manage non-runner keys (database creds, SSH keys, etc.).
- Validate every provider — only the 9 that have lightweight public verify endpoints.

Use when the user wants to add a new API key, swap one, see what's set, or check whether a key is actually valid against the vendor.
</objective>

## ROLE

Read the user's intent (add/update/remove/list/verify/enable/disable/path/export) → call the matching `common/runners/cli/keys.py` subcommand → relay the result. Mask values when displaying. Prompt for value silently if not provided on the command line. Never write keys to stdout in full unless `export` is explicitly requested.

## PIPELINE
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikefluff/skills/skills-keys@sha256:39d5652e15e81531

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.e8ff76f, 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.
