Environment configuration and secrets management skill using UV for Python projects.

  • Works in 12 steps: Never Hardcode Secrets → Separate by Environment → Fail Securely → …
  • Setting up project environments
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use This Skill, Core Principles and UV Setup, plus 7 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv, python and curl; reaches astral.sh; needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and SECRET_KEY

What it does

Env Config is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Environment configuration and secrets management skill using UV for Python projects. Handles .env files, environment variables, secrets encryption, multi-environment setups, and secure configuration patterns. Use when setting up project environments, managing API keys, or implementing configuration best practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `examples/secrets_template.json` and `references/advanced-topics.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Secrets management. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up project environments
  • Managing API keys
  • Implementing configuration best practices

Example prompts

  • “/env-config”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Never Hardcode Secrets
  2. Separate by Environment
  3. Fail Securely
  4. Use UV for Dependency Management
  5. Document Everything
  6. Project Setup
  7. Create Configuration Templates
  8. Multi-Environment Setup
  9. Secrets Management
  10. .gitignore Configuration
  11. Secret Rotation
  12. Environment Auditing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • python
    • curl
    • sh
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • astral.sh

    Also links to:

    • docs.astral.sh
    • github.com
    • docs.pydantic.dev
    • 12factor.net

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    • SECRET_KEY
    • OPENAI_API_KEY
    • OPENROUTER_API_KEY
    • JWT_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Env Config loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 708 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 708 words (~3,327 tokens).

“This skill provides comprehensive guidance for managing environment configurations, secrets, and environment variables in Python projects using UV (the modern Python package and project manager). It covers secure configuration patterns, multi-environment setups, .env file management, and secrets handling with encryption…”
