SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Managing secrets through plaintext environment variables or files is risky and hard to maintain. This Skill sets up the 1Password CLI (op) so secrets are read, injected, or passed to commands directly from a 1Password vault. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CLI Setup and Authentication: Install the op CLI and authenticate via service account token, desktop app integration, or a self-hosted Connect server. - Secret Operations: Read secret references like op://Vault/Item/field, fetch one-time passwords, inject secrets into templates with op inject, and run commands with secret env vars via op run. - Stable Hermes Sessions: Use a dedicated tmux session to preserve desktop-app sign-in state across non-interactive terminal calls. - Use Case: A developer needs a database password for a deployment script. Instead of pasting it into a .env file, they run the command through op run so the secret is resolved at runtime from the 1Password vault. ## Quick Start Set up the 1Password CLI with a service account token and read the database password from my app-prod vault.

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

Use op read with a secret reference URI, for example op read "op://Vault/Item/field". You must be authenticated first via op signin, a service account token, or a Connect server.

How to inject secrets into a config file with op?▼

Pipe a template containing op:// references into op inject, for example echo "db_password: {{ op://app-prod/db/password }}" | op inject. You can also use op inject -i config.tpl.yml -o config.yml for file-based templates.

Can I use 1Password CLI in CI or headless environments?▼

Yes, authenticate with OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN instead of interactive op signin. Service accounts require CLI v2.18.0 or later and support op read, op inject, and op run without the desktop app.

Why does op say account is not signed in?▼

The desktop app integration session was lost between terminal calls. Run op signin again inside the same tmux session, or switch to a service account token which persists automatically across calls.

What is the difference between op run and op inject?▼

op run executes a command with secret references resolved as environment variables at runtime, while op inject resolves references inside templates or stdin to produce rendered output. Prefer op run to avoid writing secrets into files.
