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
# Working with secrets Secrets are age-encrypted files in the private repository `~/codes/nix-secrets` (`git@github.com:ryan4yin/nix-secrets.git`), pulled in as the `mysecrets` flake input and declared here in `secrets/nixos.nix` and `secrets/darwin.nix`. No secret value or ciphertext is ever stored in this public repository. Read [secrets/README.md](../../../secrets/README.md) for the concepts and the recipient rule. ## Which flow a file belongs to Two age flows live in `~/codes/nix-secrets`, and a file belongs to exactly one. - **agenix** (`secrets.nix`): static and one-way, repository → host, decrypted at activation. Consumed as `/run/agenix/<name>` or an `environment.etc` copy; needs a `flake.lock` bump. - **dotfiles sync** (`dotfiles/`): changes on the host; `save`/`restore` are manual, outside Nix. Consumed as a real file under `$HOME`, edited by hand or by its tool; **no** lock bump. agenix is for the secrets that barely change and that a Nix module or service reads from the decrypted path. Everything else is a synced dotfile: Nix does not read it, it changes often, or it is a config file its tool keeps rewriting that happens to carry a few secrets inside. The pin …

How to install
mdr add ryan4yin/nix-config/nix-config-secrets@sha256:93b40eda8820afa3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.0e70582, 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.
