What it does

Sops Encryption is an agent skill from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. Encrypt files and configs with Mozilla SOPS. Integrate with AWS KMS, GCP KMS, or PGP for key management. Use when encrypting configuration files, Kubernetes secrets, or implementing GitOps with encrypted secrets.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Operations and SOPs, Cryptography and Container orchestration. It works with Kubernetes, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Agent-ready DevOps, security, infrastructure, and compliance knowledge base with 80+ skills across Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/Azure/GCP, AI platform operations, container… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Encrypting configuration files
Kubernetes secrets
Implementing GitOps with encrypted secrets

Example prompts

“/sops-encryption”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0365f57. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- brew
- wget
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:
- github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sops Encryption loads about 539 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~539

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use this skill when:

Encrypting secrets in Git
Implementing GitOps with secrets
Managing Kubernetes secrets as code
Encrypting configuration files

Prerequisites

SOPS installed
KMS access (AWS, GCP, Azure) or PGP key

Installation

bash

# macOS
brew install sops

# Linux
wget https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.8.0/sops-v3.8.0.linux.amd64
chmod +x sops-v3.8.0.linux.amd64
mv sops-v3.8.0.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/sops

Basic Usage

bash

# Encrypt with AWS KMS
sops --encrypt --kms arn:aws:kms:region:account:key/key-id secrets.yaml > secrets.enc.yaml

# Decrypt
sops --decrypt secrets.enc.yaml

# Edit encrypted file
sops secrets.enc.yaml

# Encrypt in place
sops --encrypt --in-place secrets.yaml

Configuration

yaml

# .sops.yaml
creation_rules:
  - path_regex: .*\.prod\.yaml$
    kms: arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:account:key/prod-key
  - path_regex: .*\.dev\.yaml$
    kms: arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:account:key/dev-key
  - path_regex: .*
    pgp: fingerprint

Kubernetes Integration

yaml

# encrypted secret
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: myapp-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  password: ENC[AES256_GCM,data:encrypted...]
sops:
  kms:
    - arn: arn:aws:kms:region:account:key/key-id

bash

# With ArgoCD
# Install ksops plugin for ArgoCD to decrypt secrets

Best Practices

Store .sops.yaml in repository
Use different keys per environment
Rotate encryption keys regularly
Never commit unencrypted secrets
Use key aliases for readability
