What it does

Secrets Vault Manager is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. This skill should be used when the user asks to "generate Vault configurations", "plan secret rotation", "analyze vault audit logs", "manage secrets lifecycle", or "set up HashiCorp Vault".

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/secrets-management-guide.md`, `scripts/audit_log_analyzer.py` and `scripts/rotation_planner.py`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Secrets management. It works with HashiCorp Vault. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to generate Vault configurations
  • Plan secret rotation
  • Analyze vault audit logs
  • Manage secrets lifecycle

Example prompts

  • “generate Vault configurations”
  • “plan secret rotation”
  • “analyze vault audit logs”
  • “/secrets-vault-manager”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define environment and required secrets engines
  2. Run vault_config_generator.py to generate HCL configs
  3. Review and customize generated configurations
  4. Apply via Terraform or Vault CLI

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Secrets Vault Manager loads about 841 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~841
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Secrets Vault Manager

Category: Engineering Domain: Secrets Management & Security

Overview

The Secrets Vault Manager skill provides tools for generating HashiCorp Vault configurations, planning and scheduling secret rotation cycles, and analyzing vault audit logs for suspicious access patterns. Essential for teams managing secrets at scale.

Clarify First

Before generating configs or plans, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Task — config generation / rotation planning / audit-log analysis (selects the script and the entire workflow)
  • Environment & secrets engines — e.g. production + kv/database/transit (--env, --secrets-engines; shapes the generated HCL)
  • Secrets inventory & classification — Critical/High/Medium/Low per secret (drives rotation frequencies and the schedule)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

bash
# Generate Vault configuration
python scripts/vault_config_generator.py --env production --secrets-engines kv,database,transit

# Plan secret rotation schedule
python scripts/rotation_planner.py --inventory secrets_inventory.json

# Analyze vault audit logs
python scripts/audit_log_analyzer.py --log-file vault_audit.log --format json

Tools Overview

ToolPurposeKey Flags
vault_config_generator.pyGenerate HashiCorp Vault configurations--env, --secrets-engines, --auth-methods
rotation_planner.pyPlan and schedule secret rotation cycles--inventory, --policy, --format
audit_log_analyzer.pyAnalyze vault audit logs for anomalies--log-file, --time-range, --format

Workflows

Initial Vault Setup
  1. Define environment and required secrets engines
  2. Run vault_config_generator.py to generate HCL configs
  3. Review and customize generated configurations
  4. Apply via Terraform or Vault CLI
Secret Rotation Planning
  1. Create secrets inventory (JSON)
  2. Run rotation_planner.py to generate schedule
  3. Review rotation plan and adjust frequencies
  4. Implement automated rotation where possible
Audit Log Investigation
  1. Export vault audit logs
  2. Run audit_log_analyzer.py for anomaly detection
  3. Review flagged events
  4. Investigate suspicious access patterns

Reference Documentation

Common Patterns

Secret Classification
  • Critical: Database credentials, API master keys, encryption keys
  • High: Service account tokens, OAuth secrets, TLS certificates
  • Medium: Third-party API keys, webhook secrets
  • Low: Public API keys, non-sensitive configuration
