SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI agents need a secure place to keep API keys, tokens, and environment variables they create or receive while working, without hardcoding them or losing them between sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Encrypted Secret Storage: Store key-value secrets with automatic encryption of values and notes. - Lookup and Management: List, retrieve by key name, and delete secrets by UUID through simple CLI commands. - Use Case: An agent signs up for a third-party API, receives an API key, and stores it with `ravi secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY "sk-..."` so it can retrieve the key in later sessions with `ravi secrets get OPENAI_API_KEY`. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to store an API key as an encrypted secret and then retrieve its value by key name using the Ravi CLI.

FAQPage Schema

How do I store an API key as an encrypted secret with the Ravi CLI?▼

Run ravi secrets set KEY_NAME "value" to store an encrypted secret. Keys are auto-uppercased and must match the pattern ^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$, and calling set again on an existing key upserts the value.

How do I retrieve a secret value in a shell script?▼

Use ravi secrets get KEY_NAME, which returns a JSON object containing the value field. Pipe it through jq, for example API_KEY=$(ravi secrets get OPENAI_API_KEY | jq -r '.value'), to extract just the secret value.

What is the difference between ravi-secrets and ravi-passwords?▼

ravi-secrets stores key-value secrets like API keys and environment variables, while ravi-passwords stores website credentials structured as domain, username, and password. Use ravi-passwords for login credentials and ravi-secrets for tokens and keys.

Why does creating a secret fail with a validation error?▼

Secret keys must be unique per identity and match the pattern ^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$ after automatic uppercasing. A duplicate key name or invalid characters in the key will return a validation error.

Do I need to authenticate before using ravi secrets commands?▼

Yes, the Ravi CLI must be installed and authenticated with ravi auth login, which a human approves at https://ravi.id/device. The CLI stores keys in ~/.ravi/config.json and reads them automatically for subsequent commands.
