What problem does it solve?

Secrets leakage in Claude Code sessions is a critical risk. This Skill provides secure-by-default environment variable management to mask and restrict secrets, preventing exposure in terminals, logs, and the model context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schema-driven masking: Uses a .env.schema to mark sensitive variables and ensure values never appear in outputs.
  • Safe validation and access: varlock load validates presence and types without revealing secret values; supports masking in logs and reports.
  • Secure command execution: Use varlock run to inject validated vars into commands without printing secrets; supports integration with CI/CD and containers.
  • Real-world workflow: Protects API keys during local development and in automated deployment pipelines.
