Handling Secrets Safely | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Use when inspecting, probing, or reporting on any credential-bearing file (.mcp.json, .env, .pem, ~/.git-credentials, ~/.netrc, a secret store) or when clearing a "no secrets" / security-sweep verdict - the mechanics that keep a well-intentioned command from leaking a value through tool output, a diff echo, a query error, or a shallow history scan. The high-level policy (where secrets live, rotation) is assumed; this is the HOW.
