Secrets Management
Rules:
- Never hardcode secrets in source files, configs committed to git, or logs.
- Use environment variables for local development (
python-dotenv). - Use a secrets manager (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, 1Password CLI) in production.
- Add
.envand*.pemto.gitignorebefore the first commit. - Rotate secrets immediately if they are exposed (leaked in a commit, log, or error message).
Scanning: Use ggshield, truffleHog, or git-secrets in CI to block secret commits.
Anti-patterns:
os.environ.get('KEY', 'hardcoded_default')in production code.- Logging full request/response bodies that may contain tokens.

structured-progress-update
Use this skill when summarizing progress on an ongoing project or multi-step task. Give a clear, scannable status report whenever asked for an update or at the end of a work session.
async-communication-etiquette
Use this skill when writing messages in async channels (Slack, GitHub issues, email threads) where the reader may not have context and cannot ask follow-up questions immediately.
idempotent-script-design
Use this skill when writing scripts, cron jobs, data pipelines, or any automated process that may be run multiple times. Design every operation to be safely re-runnable without side effects.
input-validation-and-sanitization
Use this skill when implementing any endpoint, form handler, CLI tool, or function that accepts external input. Validate and sanitize all untrusted data before processing — never assume input is safe.
graceful-error-recovery
Use this skill when a tool call, command, or API request fails. Diagnose the root cause systematically before retrying or changing approach. Do not retry the same failing call without first understanding why it failed.
codebase-navigation
Use this skill when exploring an unfamiliar codebase, tracing code paths, or answering questions about how the system works. Read before writing, and build a mental model of the architecture before making changes.
