Use credentials such as API keys, tokens and passwords without ever seeing them, and ask the user to store one without pasting it into the chat. Use when a task needs a key, token or password that is not set up yet, when the user pastes or offers a credential, wants to store one, and before putting a secret into a command, config file or .env.

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

# Credentials without seeing them

Secrets live in a local vault, by name. You use them by name and never receive the value, so it stays out of the model, the transcript and your memory.

## Ask for one

```bash
aim-secret has OPENAI_API_KEY || aim-secret request OPENAI_API_KEY --note "for the embedding job"
```

`request` returns at once. The user gets a card in the AI Maestro chat with the name filled in and a masked field (in Claude Code with the secrets mod, the `request_secret` tool opens a form in the terminal instead). End your turn after calling it: you get a message when the value is stored or declined. If it is declined, carry on without it and do not ask again unless you cannot go on.

## Use it

```bash
aim-secret exec --use OPENAI_API_KEY -- python embed.py
aim-secret exec --use AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --use AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -- aws s3 ls
aim-secret exec --use MY_KEY_NAME=OPENAI_API_KEY -- node job.js
```

The value is placed in that one command's environment. Anything the command prints has it replaced by `[secret:NAME]`, which is correct. The last form maps the secret `OPENAI_API_KEY` to the environment variable `MY_KEY_NAME`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 23blocks-os/ai-maestro-plugins/aim-secret-management@sha256:84b39125123b9bb6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
