SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Managing credentials and secrets across projects often leads to insecure practices like hardcoding passwords or pasting them into terminals. This Skill guides the setup and use of the 1Password CLI (op) so secrets are read, injected, or run securely without exposing them in logs or files. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CLI Setup & Sign-In: Walks through installing the op CLI, enabling desktop app integration, and signing in to single or multiple accounts. - Secret Operations: Reads secrets via op read, injects them into config templates with op inject, and runs commands with secrets via op run. - Session Management: Runs all op commands inside a dedicated tmux session to avoid repeated authentication prompts. - Use Case: A developer needs a database password for a deployment script. Instead of copying it from the app, they run op run --env-file="./.env" -- ./deploy.sh so the secret is injected at runtime and never written to disk. ## Quick Start Set up the 1Password CLI, sign me in, and read the database password from my app-prod vault.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1password

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I read a secret with the 1Password CLI?▼

Use `op read` with a secret reference URI, such as `op read op://app-prod/db/password`. You must be signed in first, and desktop app integration must be enabled for biometric or app-based authorization.

How to inject secrets into config files with op?▼

Use `op inject` with a template containing secret references, for example `op inject -i config.yml.tpl -o config.yml`. The template uses `{{ op://vault/item/field }}` placeholders that get replaced with actual values at runtime.

Does the 1Password CLI work without the desktop app?▼

Yes, but app integration is the recommended flow. Without it, authenticate manually using `op account add` and sign in with your account credentials instead of relying on biometric unlock.

Why does op keep asking me to sign in again?▼

Each shell command runs in a fresh TTY, losing the session context. Run all op commands inside a dedicated tmux session so the authenticated session persists across commands.

How do I handle multiple 1Password accounts in the CLI?▼

Use the `--account` flag with a shorthand, sign-in address, or account ID, or set the `OP_ACCOUNT` environment variable. Run `op account list` to see available accounts and `op signin` to pick one.
