SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Managing credentials across scripts and environments often leads to secrets being hardcoded or pasted into logs. This Skill guides the setup and use of the 1Password CLI so secrets are read or injected at runtime without being written to disk. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CLI Setup and Sign-In: Walks through installing the 1Password CLI, enabling desktop app integration, and authenticating with op signin. - Secret Reading and Injection: Reads secrets via op read with op:// references, and injects them into configs or processes using op inject and op run. - tmux-Based Session Handling: Runs all op commands inside a dedicated tmux session to avoid repeated authorization prompts. - Use Case: A developer needs a database password for a deployment script. Instead of copying it into an .env file, they run the script with op run --env-file so the secret is resolved at runtime and never stored on disk. ## Quick Start Set up the 1Password CLI on this machine, sign in to my account, and read the database password from my app-prod vault without printing it to the chat.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1password

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sign in to the 1Password CLI?

Run `op signin` after enabling desktop app integration in the 1Password app's Developer settings. The app will prompt you to authorize the CLI. For multiple accounts, pass `--account` or set the `OP_ACCOUNT` environment variable.

How do I read a secret with the op CLI?

Use `op read` with an op:// reference, such as `op read op://app-prod/db/password`. You can also read OTP fields, SSH keys, or write output directly to a file with `--out-file`.

How do I inject secrets into a config file with 1Password?

Place op:// references in a template and run `op inject -i config.yml.tpl -o config.yml`, or pipe the template through stdin. Alternatively, use `op run --env-file` to resolve secrets as environment variables at process start.

Does the 1Password CLI work on Linux and Windows?

Yes, the CLI supports macOS, Windows, and Linux. macOS requires Big Sur 11.0 or later, Windows uses Windows Hello for integration, and Linux requires PolKit plus an authentication agent for app integration.

Why does op say my account is not signed in?

This happens when the desktop app is locked or app integration is not enabled. Unlock the 1Password app, verify integration is turned on in Developer settings, then re-run `op signin` and authorize in the app.

Why should op commands run inside tmux?

Each shell tool invocation uses a fresh TTY, which loses the CLI's authorization state and triggers repeated prompts. Running op inside a dedicated tmux session keeps the session alive across commands so sign-in persists.
