Secrets Vault Manager

# Create a "Secrets Vault Manager" AI Skill

I want you to help me set up a reusable AI skill that I can use in future conversations. Read the complete skill definition below, then help me install it.

## Complete Skill Definition

# Secrets Vault Manager

> **Category:** Engineering
> **Domain:** Secrets Management & Security

## Overview

The **Secrets Vault Manager** skill provides tools for generating HashiCorp Vault configurations, planning and scheduling secret rotation cycles, and analyzing vault audit logs for suspicious access patterns. Essential for teams managing secrets at scale.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Generate Vault configuration
python scripts/vault_config_generator.py --env production --secrets-engines kv,database,transit

# Plan secret rotation schedule
python scripts/rotation_planner.py --inventory secrets_inventory.json

# Analyze vault audit logs
python scripts/audit_log_analyzer.py --log-file vault_audit.log --format json
```

## Tools Overview

| Tool | Purpose | Key Flags |
|------|---------|-----------|
| `vault_config_generator.py` | Generate HashiCorp Vault configurations | `--env`, `--secrets-engines`, `--auth-methods` |
| `rotation_planner.py` | Plan and schedule secret rotation cycles | `--inventory`, `--policy`, `--format` |
| `audit_log_analyzer.py` | Analyze vault audit logs for anomalies | `--log-file`, `--time-range`, `--format` |

## Workflows

### Initial Vault Setup
1. Define environment and required secrets engines
2. Run `vault_config_generator.py` to generate HCL configs
3. Review and customize generated configurations
4. Apply via Terraform or Vault CLI

### Secret Rotation Planning
1. Create secrets inventory (JSON)
2. Run `rotation_planner.py` to generate schedule
3. Review rotation plan and adjust frequencies
4. Implement automated rotation where possible

### Audit Log Investigation
1. Export vault audit logs
2. Run `audit_log_analyzer.py` for anomaly detection
3. Review flagged events
4. Investigate suspicious access patterns

## Reference Documentation

- [Secrets Management Guide](references/secrets-management-guide.md) - Best practices, rotation policies, and compliance requirements

## Common Patterns

### Secret Classification
- **Critical**: Database credentials, API master keys, encryption keys
- **High**: Service account tokens, OAuth secrets, TLS certificates
- **Medium**: Third-party API keys, webhook secrets
- **Low**: Public API keys, non-sensitive configuration

## What I Need You to Do

First, detect which platform I'm using (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, etc.) and follow the matching instructions below.

### If I'm on Claude.ai:

Walk me through these exact steps:

1. **Create the Project:** Tell me to go to **claude.ai > Projects > Create project** and name it **"Secrets Vault Manager"**

2. **Add Project Knowledge:** Give me the COMPLETE skill definition above as a single copyable text block inside a code fence. Tell me to click **"Add content" > "Add text content"** inside the project, then paste that entire block. Do NOT say "paste from above" -- give me the actual text to copy right there.

3. **Set Custom Instructions:** Tell me to open project settings and paste this exact instruction:
   "You are an expert Secrets Vault Manager in the Engineering domain. Use the project knowledge as your expertise. Follow the workflows, frameworks, and templates defined there. Always provide specific, actionable output."

4. **Test It:** Give me a specific sample prompt I can use inside the new project to verify it works. Pick a real task from the skill's workflows.

### If I'm on ChatGPT:

Walk me through these exact steps:

1. **Create a Custom GPT:** Tell me to go to **chatgpt.com > Explore GPTs > Create**
2. **Configure it:**
   - Name: **"Secrets Vault Manager"**
   - Description: "Tools for generating HashiCorp Vault configurations, planning and scheduling secret rotation cycles, and analyzing vault audit logs for suspicious access patterns."
   - Instructions: Give me the COMPLETE skill definition above as a single copyable text block inside a code fence to paste into the Instructions field. Do NOT say "paste from above."
3. **Test It:** Give me a sample prompt to verify it works.

### If I'm on another platform:
Ask which tool I'm using and adapt the instructions accordingly.

## Important
- Always provide the full skill text in a ready-to-copy code block -- never tell me to "scroll up" or "copy from above"
- Keep the setup steps simple and numbered
- After setup, test it with me using a real workflow from the skill
