SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Set up and manage credentials for Hive agents by detecting missing items, guiding authentication choices, and securely persisting secrets in a local encrypted store at ~/.hive/credentials.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect missing credentials from agent config and health-check readiness.
  • Present Aden OAuth, direct API key, and custom options, with health checks before storing.
  • Persist credentials securely in the local encrypted store and support exporting to the current session.
  • Work across development, testing, and CI/CD workflows with auditable configuration.

Quick Start

Run a credential setup workflow for your agent by first checking missing credentials with check_missing_credentials(agent_path="exports/{agent_name}"), then follow prompts to configure each missing credential (Aden OAuth, direct API keys, or custom), and finally verify readiness with verify_credentials(agent_path="exports/{agent_name}").

Frequently Asked Questions about hive-credentials

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I securely store API keys and OAuth tokens for local agent configuration?

Securely store API keys and OAuth tokens by configuring credentials locally with encryption and health checks. The system persists secrets in an encrypted local store at ~/.hive/credentials and optionally exports values to the current session.

What is the best way to manage credentials across CI/CD workflows and local development?

Manage credentials across CI/CD workflows and local development by applying auditable configuration methods. The system detects missing credentials, guides authentication choices, and validates readiness for both environments.

How does local credential management handle missing API keys during agent setup?

Local credential management handles missing API keys by detecting missing items from agent config, presenting authentication options like Aden OAuth or direct API keys, and health-checking readiness before storing them.

Can I use Aden OAuth and custom API keys in the same encrypted local credential store?

Yes, you can use Aden OAuth, direct API keys, and custom options in the same encrypted local credential store. The system presents these authentication choices and performs health checks before securely persisting the credentials.

How do I verify credential readiness before starting an agent testing workflow?

Verify credential readiness by running a verification check on the agent path after configuration. This validates that all required API keys or OAuth tokens are present, encrypted, and health-checked before testing begins.

Why does my agent configuration fail when exporting credentials to the current session?

Agent configuration may fail if required credentials are missing or fail health checks. The system detects missing items from the agent config and requires successful validation before persisting to ~/.hive/credentials and exporting to the session.
