Skill: cxz9909/cxz9909-credential-manager (version 1.0.0)

--- name: credential-manager description: MANDATORY security foundation for OpenClaw. Consolidate scattered API keys and credentials into a secure .env file with proper permissions. Use when setting up OpenClaw, migrating credentials, auditing security, or enforcing the .env standard. This is not optional — centralized credential management is a core requirement for secure OpenClaw deployments. Scans for credential files across common locations, backs up existing files, creates a unified .env with mode 600, validates security, and enforces best practices. --- # Credential Manager **STATUS: MANDATORY SECURITY FOUNDATION** Consolidate scattered API keys and credentials into a secure, centralized `.env` file. ## ⚠️ This Is Not Optional Centralized `.env` credential management is a **core requirement** for OpenClaw security. If your credentials are scattered across multiple files, **stop and consolidate them now**. **THE RULE:** All credentials MUST be in `~/.openclaw/.env` ONLY. No workspace, no skills, no scripts directories. See: - [CORE-PRINCIPLE.md](CORE-PRINCIPLE.md) - Why this is non-negotiable - [CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md](CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md) - The single source principle ## The Foundation **Every OpenClaw deployment MUST have:** ``` ~/.openclaw/.env (mode 600) ``` This is your single source of truth for all credentials. No exceptions. **Why?** - Single location = easier to secure - File mode 600 = only you can read - Git-ignored = won't accidentally commit - Validated format = catches errors - Audit trail = know what changed Scattered credentials = scattered attack surface. This skill fixes that. ## What This Skill Does 1. **Scans** for credentials in common locations 2. **Backs up** existing credential files (timestamped) 3. **Consolidates** into `~/.openclaw/.env` 4. **Secures** with proper permissions (600) 5. **Validates** security and format 6. **Enforces** best practices 7. **Cleans up** old files after migration ## Detection Parameters The skill automatically detects credentials by scanning for: **File Patterns:** - `credentials.json` files in config directories - `.env` files - Memory files with `-creds` or `credentials` in the name **Sensitive Key Patterns:** - API keys, access tokens, bearer tokens - Secrets, passwords, passphrases - OAuth consumer keys - Private keys, signing keys, wallet keys - Mnemonics and seed phrases **Security Checks:** - File permissions (must be `600`) - Git-ignore protection - Format validation ## Quick Start ### Full Migration (Recommended) ```bash # Scan for credentials ./scripts/scan.py # Review and consolidate ./scripts/consolidate.py # Validate security ./scripts/validate.py ``` ### Individual Operations ```bash # Scan only ./scripts/scan.py # Consolidate specific service ./scripts/consolidate.py --service x # Backup without removing ./scripts/consolidate.py --backup-only # Clean up old files ./scripts/cleanup.py --confirm ``` ## Common Credential Locations The skill scans these locations: ``` ~/.config/*/credentials.json ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/*-creds.json ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/*credentials*.json ~/.env (if exists, merges) ``` ## Security Features ✅ **File permissions:** Sets `.env` to mode 600 (owner only) ✅ **Git protection:** Creates/updates `.gitignore` ✅ **Backups:** Timestamped backups before changes ✅ **Validation:** Checks format, permissions, and duplicates ✅ **Template:** Creates `.env.example` (safe to share) ## Output Structure After migration: ``` ~/.openclaw/ ├── .env # All credentials (secure) ├── .env.example # Template (safe) ├── .gitignore # Protects .env ├── CREDENTIALS.md # Documentation └── backups/ └── credentials-old-YYYYMMDD/ # Backup of old files ``` ## Supported Services Common services auto-detected: - **X (Twitter):** OAuth 1.0a credentials - **Molten:** Agent intent matching - **Moltbook:** Agent social network - **Botchan/4claw:** Net Protocol - **OpenAI, Anthropic, Google:** AI providers - **GitHub, GitLab:** Code hosting - **Generic:** `API_KEY`, `*_TOKEN`, `*_SECRET` patterns See [references/supported-services.md](references/supported-services.md) for full list. ## Security Best Practices See [references/security.md](references/security.md) for detailed security guidelines. **Quick checklist:** - ✅ `.env` has 600 permissions - ✅ `.env` is git-ignored - ✅ No credentials in code or logs - ✅ Rotate keys periodically - ✅ Use separate keys per environment ## Scripts All scripts support `--help` for detailed usage. ### scan.py ```bash # Scan and report ./scripts/scan.py # Include custom paths ./scripts/scan.py --paths ~/.myapp/config ~/.local/share/creds # JSON output ./scripts/scan.py --format json ``` ### consolidate.py ```bash # Interactive mode (prompts before changes) ./scripts/consolidate.py # Auto-confirm (no prompts) ./scripts/consolidate.py --yes # Backup only ./scripts/consolidate.py --backup-only # Specific service ./scripts/consolidate.py --service molten ``` ### validate.py ```bash # Full validation ./scripts/validate.py # Check permissions only ./scripts/validate.py --check permissions # Fix issues automatically ./scripts/validate.py --fix ``` ### cleanup.py ```bash # Dry run (shows what would be deleted) ./scripts/cleanup.py # Actually delete old files ./scripts/cleanup.py --confirm # Keep backups ./scripts/cleanup.py --confirm --keep-backups ``` ## Migration Workflow **Step 1: Discovery** ```bash ./scripts/scan.py ``` Review output to see what will be migrated. **Step 2: Backup & Consolidate** ```bash ./scripts/consolidate.py ``` Creates backups, builds `.env`, sets permissions. **Step 3: Validation** ```bash ./scripts/validate.py ``` Ensures everything is secure and correct. **Step 4: Test** Test your applications/skills with the new `.env` file. **Step 5: Cleanup** ```bash ./scripts/cleanup.py --confirm ``` Removes old credential files (backups remain). ## For Skill Developers: Enforce This Standard Other OpenClaw skills MUST validate credentials are secure before using them: ### Python Skills ```python #!/usr/bin/env python3 import sys from pathlib import Path # Add credential-manager scripts to path sys.path.insert(0, str(Path.home() / '.openclaw/skills/credential-manager/scripts')) # Enforce secure .env (exits if not compliant) from enforce import require_secure_env, get_credential require_secure_env() # Now safe to load credentials [REDACTED_SECRET]'SERVICE_API_KEY') ``` ### Bash Skills ```bash #!/usr/bin/env bash set -euo pipefail # Validate .env exists and is secure if ! python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/credential-manager/scripts/enforce.py; then exit 1 fi # Now safe to load source ~/.openclaw/.env ``` **This creates a fail-fast system:** If credentials aren't properly secured, skills refuse to run. Users are forced to fix it. ## Loading Credentials After migration, load from `.env`: ### Python ```python import os from pathlib import Path # Load .env env_file = Path.home() / '.openclaw' / '.env' with open(env_file) as f: for line in f: if '=' in line and not line.strip().startswith('#'): key, val = line.strip().split('=', 1) os.environ[key] = val # Use credentials [REDACTED_SECRET]'SERVICE_API_KEY') ``` ### Bash ```bash # Load .env set -a source ~/.openclaw/.env set +a # Use credentials echo "$SERVICE_API_KEY" ``` ### Using Existing Loaders If you migrated using OpenClaw scripts: ```python from load_credentials import get_credentials creds = get_credentials('x') ``` ## Adding New Credentials Edit `~/.openclaw/.env`: ```bash # Add new service NEW_SERVICE_API_KEY=your_key_here NEW_SERVICE_SECRET=your_secret_here ``` Update template too: ```bash # Edit .env.example NEW_SERVICE_API_KEY=your_key_here NEW_SERVICE_SECRET=your_secret_here ``` ## Rollback If something goes wrong: ```bash # Find your backup ls -la ~/.openclaw/backups/ # Restore specific file cp ~/.openclaw/backups/credentials-old-YYYYMMDD/x-credentials.json.bak \ ~/.config/x/credentials.json ``` ## Notes - **Non-destructive by default:** Original files backed up before removal - **Idempotent:** Safe to run multiple times - **Extensible:** Add custom credential patterns in scripts - **Secure:** Never logs full credentials, only metadata

## Version 1.3.0 (2026-02-07)

### 🎯 Consolidation Rule - Single Source Enforcement

**Major update:** Formal enforcement of the single source principle — all credentials MUST be in `~/.openclaw/.env` ONLY.

### Added

**CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md** - New comprehensive documentation:
- The single source principle explained
- Why root-only (no workspace, skills, scripts .env files)
- Enforcement workflow (scan → consolidate → cleanup → validate)
- Security rationale (one file to secure, audit, backup)
- Developer guidance (how to load from root .env)
- Exception handling (node_modules .env files are harmless)

**Enhanced scan.py detection patterns:**
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/.env`
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/.env.*`
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/*/.env`
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/*/repo/.env`
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/.env`

**Enhanced cleanup.py:**
- Updated header to explicitly mention rule enforcement
- Removes scattered .env files from workspace/skills/scripts
- Preserves backups for safety

**Updated SKILL.md:**
- Prominently references CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md
- Added "THE RULE" section upfront
- Emphasizes root-only requirement

### Changed

**Documentation structure:**
- README.md now includes "The Consolidation Rule" section
- Files included list updated with CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md
- Testing section reflects enhanced detection

### Why This Matters

Scattered `.env` files across workspace, skills, and scripts directories create:
- Multiple attack surfaces (multiple files to secure)
- Confusion (which .env has the current keys?)
- Git leaks (harder to protect multiple locations)
- Backup gaps (easy to miss scattered files)

**The rule:** One file. One location. One source of truth. No exceptions.

### Technical Details

**New files:** 1 (CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md)
**Modified files:** 4 (scan.py, cleanup.py, SKILL.md, README.md)
**Detection patterns:** +5 workspace-specific patterns
**Package size:** ~26 KB

### Enforcement Flow

```bash
# 1. Scan for scattered credentials
./scripts/scan.py

# 2. Consolidate to root (with backup)
./scripts/consolidate.py --yes

# 3. Clean up scattered files
./scripts/cleanup.py --confirm

# 4. Validate security
./scripts/validate.py
```

### Migration Story

This update was prompted by discovering scattered `.env` files in a live OpenClaw deployment:
- Root: `~/.openclaw/.env` (secure)
- Workspace: `~/.openclaw/workspace/.env` (scattered)
- Moltbook: `~/.config/moltbook/credentials.json` (insecure permissions)

After consolidation:
- ✅ Single .env with 23 keys
- ✅ Mode 600 permissions
- ✅ Git-ignored
- ✅ All scattered files removed (backed up first)
- ✅ All scripts already pointed to root (no fixes needed)

---

## Version 1.2.0 (2026-02-06)

### 🔐 Crypto-Specific Credential Detection

**Enhanced detection patterns** for blockchain and cryptocurrency credentials.

### Added

**New sensitive key patterns in scan.py:**
- `private_key` / `private-key` - Wallet private keys
- `passphrase` - Seed passphrases
- `mnemonic` - BIP39 recovery phrases
- `seed_phrase` / `seed-phrase` - Wallet seed phrases
- `signing_key` / `signing-key` - Transaction signing keys
- `wallet_key` / `wallet-key` - Wallet access keys

**Documentation:**
- Added "Detection Parameters" section to SKILL.md
- High-level overview of file patterns, sensitive keys, and security checks

### Why This Matters

Crypto credentials (private keys, mnemonics, seed phrases) are **permanent secrets** — once leaked, funds can be drained instantly with no recovery. Previous detection focused on API keys (revocable), missing the most critical crypto patterns.

This update ensures wallet keys and seed phrases are treated with the same security rigor as other credentials.

### Technical Details

**Pattern count:** 15 sensitive patterns (up from 9)
**Detection coverage:** Now includes crypto-native credential types
**Backward compatible:** Existing scans continue to work

---

## Version 1.1.0 (2026-02-05)

### 🔒 SECURITY FOUNDATION UPDATE

**Major philosophical shift:** This is now positioned as **mandatory core infrastructure**, not an optional convenience tool.

### Added

**CORE-PRINCIPLE.md** - New document establishing:
- `.env` is MANDATORY, not optional
- Why centralized credential management is non-negotiable
- The security rationale for this approach
- Implementation requirements for all skills
- Zero exceptions policy

**enforce.py** - New validation script:
- `require_secure_env()` - Enforce .env security before running
- `get_credential()` - Safe credential loading with validation
- Fail-fast system: refuses to run if credentials insecure
- Can be imported by other skills to enforce standard

### Changed

**SKILL.md:**
- Updated description to emphasize "MANDATORY" status
- Added "This Is Not Optional" warning
- New "The Foundation" section explaining requirements
- Added "For Skill Developers" section showing enforcement usage
- Clearer security messaging throughout

**README.md:**
- Repositioned as "Core Security Infrastructure"
- Added "Why This Matters" section upfront
- Emphasized mandatory nature in opening
- Updated status badge to reflect infrastructure role

### Technical Details

**Package size:** 22 KB (was 15 KB)
**Files:** 10 total
- 3 documentation files (SKILL.md, README.md, CORE-PRINCIPLE.md)
- 5 scripts (scan, consolidate, validate, enforce, cleanup)
- 2 references (security, supported-services)

### Philosophy

**Before:** "Use this skill to organize your credentials"
**After:** "Your OpenClaw deployment is non-compliant until credentials are consolidated"

This isn't a feature request. It's a security requirement.

## Version 1.0.0 (2026-02-05)

Initial release with core functionality:
- Credential scanning
- .env consolidation
- Security validation
- Old file cleanup
- Comprehensive documentation


path: CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md
content: # Credential Consolidation Rule

**RULE: All credentials MUST be consolidated to `/home/phan_harry/.openclaw/.env`**

## The Single Source Principle

There is exactly **ONE** location for all OpenClaw credentials:

```
~/.openclaw/.env
```

**No exceptions.** Not workspace, not skills, not scripts. Root only.

## Why Root Only?

1. **Security:** One file to secure (mode 600), one file to audit
2. **Simplicity:** Scripts know exactly where to look
3. **Git safety:** Single .gitignore rule protects everything
4. **Backup:** One file to backup/restore
5. **Portability:** Copy one file, move entire credential set

## What Gets Consolidated

**ALL of these must be merged into root .env:**

- `~/.openclaw/workspace/.env` ❌ → Root
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/*/.env` ❌ → Root
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/*/repo/.env` ❌ → Root
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/.env` ❌ → Root
- `~/.config/*/credentials.json` ❌ → Root
- Any scattered API key files ❌ → Root

## Enforcement

The credential-manager skill enforces this rule:

1. **Scan:** Detects ALL .env files and credential files
2. **Consolidate:** Merges everything into `~/.openclaw/.env`
3. **Cleanup:** Removes scattered files (after backup)
4. **Validate:** Ensures no scattered files remain

## Running Consolidation

```bash
cd ~/openclaw/skills/credential-manager

# Scan for scattered credentials
./scripts/scan.py

# Consolidate to root (with backup)
./scripts/consolidate.py --yes

# Clean up scattered files
./scripts/cleanup.py --confirm

# Validate security
./scripts/validate.py
```

## After Consolidation

✅ **Only these files should exist:**

- `~/.openclaw/.env` (mode 600) - Your credentials
- `~/.openclaw/.env.example` - Template (safe to share)
- `~/.openclaw/backups/credentials-old-YYYYMMDD/` - Backups

❌ **These should NOT exist:**

- `~/.openclaw/workspace/.env`
- `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/*/.env`
- Any other .env files outside node_modules

## For Skill Developers

**DO NOT create .env files in your skill directories.**

Load credentials from root:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Load from root .env
source ~/.openclaw/.env

# Use credentials
echo "$SERVICE_API_KEY"
```

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Load from root .env
from pathlib import Path
env_file = Path.home() / '.openclaw' / '.env'
# ... load and use
```

## Exception: node_modules

.env files inside `node_modules/` are package defaults (e.g., bottleneck's Redis config). These are harmless and ignored by the scanner.

## Rationale

Scattered credentials create scattered attack surface. A single .env file:
- Is easier to secure (one chmod 600)
- Is easier to audit (one file to check)
- Is easier to backup (one file to save)
- Is easier to gitignore (one rule)
- Is easier to rotate (change in one place)

**Consolidation is not optional. It's a core security requirement.**


path: CORE-PRINCIPLE.md
content: # Core Principle: Centralized Credential Management

## This Is Not Optional

`.env` credential consolidation is a **mandatory security foundation** for OpenClaw deployments.

## Why This Matters

### Security Risk: Scattered Credentials

When credentials live in multiple locations:
```
~/.config/x/credentials.json          (mode 644 - WORLD READABLE!)
~/.config/service/api_keys.json       (no git protection)
~/project/.env                         (accidentally committed)
~/.bashrc                              (exported in shell history)
```

**Result:** Attack surface grows. One mistake compromises everything.

### The Foundation: Single Source of Truth

```
~/.openclaw/.env (mode 600)
```

**One file. One permission. One location to secure.**

## Non-Negotiable Requirements

### 1. File Permissions
```bash
chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/.env
```
Owner read/write ONLY. No group. No world.

### 2. Git Protection
```gitignore
.env
*.env
!.env.example
```
Never commit credentials. Ever.

### 3. Backup Strategy
Encrypted backups only. Or no backups.

### 4. Access Control
Minimize who/what can read `.env`:
- Your user account
- Processes you explicitly run
- Nothing else

## Why OpenClaw Enforces This

**Agent systems are privileged by design.**

An AI agent needs credentials to:
- Post on your behalf
- Execute transactions
- Access private data
- Control infrastructure

**If credentials leak, the agent becomes a weapon.**

## The Trade-Off

**Convenience vs Security:** We choose security.

Yes, scattered JSON files are "easier" to set up initially. But they're harder to:
- Audit
- Rotate
- Protect
- Monitor

`.env` is harder upfront, safer forever.

## Implementation Requirements

Every OpenClaw skill that needs credentials MUST:

1. ✅ Load from `~/.openclaw/.env`
2. ✅ Validate file permissions on load
3. ✅ Never log full credentials
4. ✅ Provide clear error if `.env` missing
5. ❌ Never accept credentials from CLI args
6. ❌ Never accept credentials from environment variables set in shell
7. ❌ Never create credential files outside `.env`

## Migration Is Mandatory

If you find credentials elsewhere:
1. Stop
2. Run credential-manager skill
3. Consolidate into `.env`
4. Validate security
5. Delete old files

**Do not proceed until credentials are properly secured.**

## The Standard

This isn't just best practice — it's the OpenClaw standard.

If a skill stores credentials anywhere other than `~/.openclaw/.env`, it's **non-compliant** and should not be used.

## Audit Checklist

Before deploying OpenClaw to production:

- [ ] All credentials in `~/.openclaw/.env`
- [ ] File mode is 600
- [ ] `.env` is in `.gitignore`
- [ ] No credentials in code
- [ ] No credentials in logs
- [ ] No credentials in shell history
- [ ] Backups are encrypted (or excluded)
- [ ] Team knows not to share `.env`

If any box is unchecked, **you're not ready**.

## Exception: None

There are no exceptions to this principle.

"But what about...":
- **Docker?** Mount `.env` securely
- **CI/CD?** Use secret managers, inject at runtime
- **Multiple environments?** `.env.dev`, `.env.prod` — same pattern
- **Team collaboration?** Share `.env.example`, not `.env`
- **Quick testing?** Still use `.env`

Every scenario has a secure solution. Use it.

## Why We're Strict

AI agents are powerful. With great power comes:
1. Greater responsibility
2. Bigger attack surface
3. More tempting target

**Scattered credentials + powerful agent = disaster waiting to happen.**

## The Foundation

Think of `.env` like:
- SSL/TLS for web servers (non-negotiable)
- Encryption for databases (mandatory)
- Authentication for APIs (required)

It's not a feature. It's the foundation everything else builds on.

---

**Bottom line:** If your credentials aren't in `~/.openclaw/.env` with mode 600, stop what you're doing and fix it first. Everything else can wait.

This is the hill we die on. 📺


path: README.md
content: # Credential Manager Skill

**Status:** ✅ Production Ready  
**Category:** 🔒 Core Security Infrastructure  
**Package:** `credential-manager.skill`  
**Version:** 1.3.0

## What This Is

**MANDATORY security foundation for OpenClaw.**

This skill consolidates scattered API keys and credentials into a secure, centralized `.env` file. This is not optional — it's a core requirement for secure OpenClaw deployments.

## Why This Matters

Scattered credentials = scattered attack surface. One `.env` file with proper permissions is:
- ✅ Easier to secure (one file, one permission)
- ✅ Easier to audit (one location to check)
- ✅ Easier to rotate (update once, everywhere works)
- ✅ Harder to leak (git-ignored by default)

## 🎯 The Consolidation Rule (v1.3.0)

**ALL credentials MUST be in `~/.openclaw/.env` ONLY.**

No workspace, no skills, no scripts directories. Root only. No exceptions.

**Why?**
- **Security:** One file to secure (mode 600), one file to audit
- **Simplicity:** Scripts know exactly where to look
- **Git safety:** Single .gitignore rule protects everything
- **Backup:** One file to backup/restore
- **Portability:** Copy one file = entire credential set moves

This skill now actively **enforces** this rule by:
1. Scanning workspace, skills, and scripts directories for scattered `.env` files
2. Consolidating everything into root `.env` with backups
3. Cleaning up scattered files after migration
4. Validating no scattered credentials remain

See `CONSOLIDATION-RULE.md` and `CORE-PRINCIPLE.md` for full rationale.

## 🔐 Crypto-Specific Detection (New in v1.2.0)

Enhanced detection for blockchain and cryptocurrency credentials:

- **Private keys** (`private_key`, `private-key`)
- **Passphrases** (`passphrase`)
- **Mnemonics** (`mnemonic`)
- **Seed phrases** (`seed_phrase`, `seed-phrase`)
- **Signing keys** (`signing_key`, `signing-key`)
- **Wallet keys** (`wallet_key`, `wallet-key`)

**Why it matters:** Crypto credentials are permanent secrets. Once leaked, funds can be drained instantly with no recovery. These patterns ensure wallet keys and seed phrases get the same security treatment as API keys.

## What It Does

1. **Scans** for credentials across common locations
2. **Backs up** existing credential files safely  
3. **Consolidates** everything into `~/.openclaw/.env`
4. **Secures** with proper permissions (600)
5. **Validates** security and format
6. **Cleans up** old files after migration

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install from ClawHub
clawhub install credential-manager

# Or manually copy credential-manager/ to your OpenClaw skills directory

# Navigate to the skill
cd ~/.openclaw/skills/credential-manager  # or your skills directory

# Scan for credentials
./scripts/scan.py

# Consolidate into .env
./scripts/consolidate.py

# Validate security
./scripts/validate.py

# (Optional) Clean up old files
./scripts/cleanup.py --confirm
```

## Testing

The skill has been tested on the current OpenClaw installation and successfully:

- ✅ Scans existing .env file and workspace directories
- ✅ Detects scattered .env files in skills/scripts/workspace
- ✅ Consolidates credentials with backup
- ✅ Validates format (23 keys found after consolidation)
- ✅ Validates permissions (600)
- ✅ Validates .gitignore protection
- ✅ No security warnings
- ✅ Enforces consolidation rule (root .env only)

## Distribution

The skill is packaged as `credential-manager.skill` (a zip file with .skill extension).

To share:
1. Send the `.skill` file
2. Recipient extracts to their OpenClaw skills directory
3. Scripts are immediately usable

## Migration Story

This skill was created based on a real migration where we:
1. Found credentials scattered across 4 locations
2. Consolidated into `~/.openclaw/.env`
3. Created unified API scripts (x_post.py, molten.sh, moltbook.sh)
4. Validated security
5. Cleaned up old files

The process took ~10 minutes and consolidated credentials for X, Molten, Moltbook, and Botchan.

## Future Enhancements

Potential additions:
- Interactive TUI for easier navigation
- Integration with secret managers (1Password, etc.)
- Automatic key rotation reminders
- Multi-environment support (.env.dev, .env.prod)
- Encryption at rest option

## Support
