System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a secure method for agents to set API keys, secrets, or other sensitive credentials within a project's .env file, preventing them from being exposed in terminal output or conversation history.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secure Credential Management: Uses a companion CLI (controller-cli) to interact with The Controller app for secret input.
  • Masked Input: The secret value is entered via a masked modal in the UI, ensuring it's never visible in the terminal.
  • Use Case: An agent needs to configure an OpenAI API key for a new project. It uses this Skill to prompt the user for the key securely and writes it to the project's .env file without logging the key itself.

Quick Start

Use the controller-cli to set the OPENAI_API_KEY for the 'my-app' project.
