Provision machine secrets from a vault (1Password's op CLI) onto a Mac by hand, owner-only, with nothing in git. Use when asked to: fleet secrets, secrets manifest, materialize secrets, op backend, vault provisioning, check secrets, enroll a Mac's secrets, rotate secrets.

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

# Fleet Secrets

Provision per-machine secrets from a vault by hand. A private secrets manifest
maps vault refs to file paths and permissions; you read each ref from the vault
at enrollment and write the value with owner-only permissions. Plaintext
values never touch git. v5 ships no secrets tooling: the four 1.0 scripts were
never used and were removed, and the commit check (R3.3) refuses credentials in
any commit.

## Binding rules

Rules 1 to 5 are the 1.0.0 Non-negotiables, applied by hand; rules 6 to 9 come from the enrollment, rotation and backend sections.

1. **The secrets manifest carries refs only, never values.** An entry with a `value:` key is a defect: delete the key and rotate that value.
2. **The real secrets manifest lives in the personal sphere** and is never committed to a shared repo. Only the schema and generic examples ship here.
3. **No secret value or vault item content appears in code, tests, fixtures, or commit messages.** Examples use fake refs (`op://ExampleVault/...`) only.
4. **Service-account tokens (headless hosts) live in the OS credential store,** scoped to a minimal per-role vault: never in flags, files, or manifests.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-fleet-secrets@sha256:215bc366f50c39d7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
