Manages encryption and decryption of repository secrets (such as .env or *.tfvars) using git-crypt, keeping credentials secure with parallel encrypted files. Use when managing secrets, setting up git-crypt, or encrypting/decrypting environment files.

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

# Secrets Management with Git-Crypt

This skill provides a secure, structured workflow for managing repository secrets (e.g. `.env`, `*.tfvars`, `sec.json`, `settings.json`) using `git-crypt`. It guides the agent to ensure sensitive credentials are never checked in as plaintext, instead maintaining parallel encrypted `.enc` versions checked into Git.

- [Verification Loop](#verification-loop)

## Triggers

This skill MUST trigger whenever:

- The user mentions `git-crypt`, `encryption`, `decryption`, or `secrets management`.
- The user requests to store sensitive files (like `.env`, `*.tfvars`, `settings.json`, keyfiles) in the repository.
- The user attempts to commit or push files that should be encrypted (e.g. `.env`, `*.tfvars`, `sec.json`) to the repository.
- Cloning an existing repository that contains `.enc` files (e.g. `.env.enc`, `terraform.tfvars.enc`, `settings.json.enc`), indicating it was previously protected by git-crypt.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add derailed-dash/dazbo-agent-skills/secrets-with-git-crypt@sha256:8ffbf62ee46ce89b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.6674a9f, 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.
