# /op-secret-template
Given an item identifier, print every field on the item as a `KEY=op://...` line, suitable for a `.env` template used with `op run --env-file=.env -- ...`.
## Inputs
`$ARGUMENTS` — first arg is the item name or ID. Optionally `--vault <vault>` to scope the lookup.
## Steps
1. Fetch the item as JSON:
```bash
op item get $ARGUMENTS --format=json
```
2. From the JSON, extract:
- `vault.name` (call this `VAULT`)
- `title` (call this `ITEM`)
- For each entry in `fields[]`:
- `label` (or `id` if no label)
- `section.label` if `section` is present
- `purpose` (`PASSWORD`, `USERNAME`, `NOTES`, etc.) if no label
- `type` (`STRING`, `CONCEALED`, `URL`, `EMAIL`, `OTP`, `DATE`, `MONTH_YEAR`, `PHONE`)
3. Emit `KEY=op://VAULT/ITEM[/SECTION]/FIELD_LABEL` lines:
- Skip fields with no value AND no label (CLI metadata).
- Use the human-readable label for the secret reference.
- Convert each label to a SCREAMING_SNAKE env var name on the left side.
- For OTP fields, append `?attribute=otp` so it returns the current code.
- For SSH private-key fields, append `?ssh-format=openssh`.
4. Wrap output in a fenced block with a header explaining usage:
```
# Generated for item "ITEM" in vault "VAULT"
# Use with: op run --env-file=.env -- <command>
USERNAME=op://VAULT/ITEM/username
PASSWORD=op://VAULT/ITEM/password
API_KEY=op://VAULT/ITEM/Credentials/api_key
TOTP=op://VAULT/ITEM/totp?attribute=otp
```
5. Note any field type that needs special handling (file attachments → `op read --out-file ...` not env, document attachments not supported).
## Edge cases
- **Multiple sections with same field name** → include the section name in the reference so the URI is unambiguous.
- **Whitespace in vault/item/field names** → wrap the whole reference value in single quotes in the output: `KEY='op://Acme Prod/My Item/api key'`.
- **Special characters that secret refs don't allow** → use the field's `id` instead of `label`, and note "(using ID instead of name due to special characters)".
- **Item is a Document or has file attachments** → emit a comment line explaining `op read --out-file` is needed instead of env loading.
## On failure
- Item not found → suggest `/op-find <query>` to locate it.
- Multiple matches (interactive only error) → tell the user to disambiguate by ID or `--vault`.
