Credential-bearing skills now point to a shared cross-platform setup based on sops plus age instead of a hosted password manager. The repo also gains a default setup skill and a small verification script so users can bring one encrypted secrets file to every relevant skill.
Constraint: The secret workflow must work on macOS, Linux, and Windows without mandatory vendor signup
Rejected: Keep 1Password CLI as the default | it requires account creation and sign-in
Rejected: Plaintext .env as the default | too easy to leak in a repo and too easy for tools to read at rest
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If a future skill needs stronger isolation than exec-env provides, expose a capability wrapper instead of injecting the raw secret
Tested: bash scripts/validate-skills.sh
Tested: npx --yes skills add . --list
Tested: bash scripts/check-setup.sh (expected failure without sops/age installed)
Not-tested: End-to-end sops encryption and exec-env flow on a machine with sops and age installed
