Prompt

In our GitHub Actions runner, we don't have `.key` files committed to Git for security reasons. What specific environment variable name should we set in CI/CD to provide the global decryption key to the output credentials system?

What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked	Without skill	With skill
Identifies `OUTPUT_CREDENTIALS_KEY` as the environment variable name for the global decryption key.	Missed	Passed

Initializing Credentials

When to Use This Skill

First time setting up credentials for a project
Adding production/development environment-specific credentials
Adding per-workflow credentials that override global ones
Re-initializing credentials after losing a key file

Overview

The npx output credentials init command generates two files:

A key file (.key) — the decryption secret. Never commit this.
An encrypted YAML file (.yml.enc) — the credentials store. Safe to commit.

Commands

# Global credentials (most common)
npx output credentials init

# Environment-specific (only production and development are read by the worker, based on NODE_ENV)
npx output credentials init -e production
npx output credentials init -e development

# Per-workflow credentials (overrides globals for that workflow)
npx output credentials init -w my_workflow

# Force overwrite existing files
npx output credentials init --force

What Gets Created

Global (default)

├── credentials.key        ← Add to .gitignore
└── credentials.yml.enc    ← Safe to commit
