Use this skill whenever a task needs an API key, database URL, deploy token or any other credential. Covers where credentials live, how to ask for one without putting it in the chat, how to get it into the file the app reads, and what must never be printed or committed.
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
# Credential handling A credential in a chat transcript is a leaked credential: transcripts are logged, summarized, and sometimes trained on. A credential in a committed file is worse — it is public and permanent. Both are avoidable with the same short procedure. ## When to activate - A task needs Supabase keys, a database URL, a Vercel/hosting token, or any API key. - A tool call fails with "missing env var" / 401 / "invalid API key". - Before any commit that touches `.env*`, config, or CI files. ## Procedure 1. **Check before asking.** `secrets_status` (or `graphyloop_secrets_status`) reports, per provider, which keys exist, where each comes from (process env, graphyloop store, `.env` file) and what is missing. It returns masks, never values. 2. **Ask by NAME, never by paste.** If a key is missing, tell the user the exact key name and where to obtain it (e.g. `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` from Settings → API). Then store it with `secrets_set` — it lands in `<project>/.graphyloop/secrets.json`, chmod 600, git-ignored before the first write. Never ask them to paste it into the conversation. …

How to install
mdr add chadixearth/graphyloop/secrets-hygiene@sha256:f20dbb87f5fdaf78The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260815.e7acb95, 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.
