Use the Bitwarden Secrets Manager CLI (bws) to read, list, and inject secrets as environment variables or dotenv files for automated workflows.
Adds Bitwarden Secrets Manager (bws) support so an agent can read, list, and inject secrets into runtime environments or export them to dotenv format. Typical uses are running commands with secrets injected, exporting project secrets to env files, or querying single secret values. The skill documents installation, auth via a machine account token, common bws commands, and guardrails for safe secret handling.
Use this skill when secrets must be sourced from Bitwarden Secrets Manager instead of plaintext env vars or files — e.g., CI jobs, agent-run processes that need credentials, or automated deployments that require per-project secrets. Prefer bws run for ephemeral injection; use dotenv export only for controlled bulk syncs.
bws binary, authentication via BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN, common operations (bws run, bws secret list, bws secret get, bws secret list --output env), guardrails, and troubleshooting notes.This skill is CLI-focused and works with agents that can run shell commands and manage env vars (Hermes-style agents, open-source agent runners that allow env injection).
