# OPS ► SECRET-SYNC
Detect GitHub secrets that are stale relative to Doppler. Confirm before syncing.
## CLI/API Reference
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `gh secret list --repo <owner/repo> --json name,updatedAt` | List GH repo secrets with timestamps |
| `doppler secrets --project <proj> --config <env> --json` | List Doppler secrets with metadata |
| `doppler secrets get <NAME> --project <proj> --config <env> --plain` | Fetch raw value for sync |
| `gh secret set <NAME> --repo <owner/repo>` | Write secret to GH (reads stdin) |
---
## Phase 1 — Resolve arguments
Parse `$ARGUMENTS`:
- `--repo <owner/repo>` → target GitHub repo (required unless registry provides default)
- `--project <proj>` → Doppler project name (required)
- `--config <env>` → Doppler config/environment, e.g. `prd`, `stg` (default: `prd`)
- `--dry-run` → report drift only, never write
If `--repo` is missing, load `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/registry.json` and let the user pick via `AskUserQuestion` (max 4 at a time).
If `--project` is missing, run:
```bash
doppler projects --json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].slug'
```
and let the user pick via `AskUserQuestion` (max 4 at a time).
---
## Phase 2 — Fetch secret inventories
Run in parallel (background both, then collect):
```bash
# GH secrets (names + last-updated timestamps, ISO-8601)
gh secret list --repo <owner/repo> --json name,updatedAt 2>/dev/null
```
```bash
# Doppler secrets (names + metadata including updated_at)
doppler secrets --project <proj> --config <env> --json 2>/dev/null
```
Parse outputs:
**GH format** (array):
```json
[{"name": "INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY", "updatedAt": "2026-04-23T09:12:00Z"}, ...]
```
**Doppler format** (object keyed by name):
```json
{
"INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY": {"computed": "...", "note": "", "rawValue": "...", "updatedAt": "2026-04-23T10:00:00Z"},
...
}
```
> Note: Doppler's `--json` flag returns computed values inline. Use `doppler secrets get <NAME> --plain` only at sync time to avoid holding all values in memory.
---
## Phase 3 — Drift detection
For each secret in Doppler:
1. Check if a GH secret with the same name exists.
2. If yes: compute `delta = doppler_updated_at - gh_updated_at` (seconds).
3. If `delta > 86400` (24 hours): mark as **DRIFTED**.
4. If GH secret does NOT exist: mark as **GH_MISSING** (flag but do not auto-create — requires explicit user confirm).
Build drift report:
```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
OPS ► SECRET-SYNC — <repo> / <proj>/<config>
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Doppler secrets : <N>
GH repo secrets : <M>
Matched : <K>
DRIFTED (>24h) : <D>
GH missing : <G>
DRIFTED SECRETS
<NAME> Doppler: <date> GH: <date> delta: <Nd>
...
GH MISSING (in Doppler but absent from GH)
<NAME>
...
IN SYNC (no action needed)
<NAME> last-synced: <date>
...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
If `--dry-run` is set or no drift found: stop here and display report.
---
## Phase 4 — Confirm before syncing (REQUIRED — never skip)
> Rule 5 compliance: every secret write requires per-action confirmation.
If drift was found, ask:
```
AskUserQuestion({
title: "Sync stale GH secrets from Doppler?",
question: "Found <D> drifted + <G> missing secrets for <repo>.\n\nSync all, pick specific ones, or skip?",
options: [
{ value: "all", label: "Sync all drifted + missing" },
{ value: "pick", label: "Pick which secrets to sync" },
{ value: "drifted", label: "Sync drifted only (skip missing)" },
{ value: "skip", label: "Skip — report only" }
]
})
```
**On "Pick"**: present drifted secrets 4-at-a-time via `AskUserQuestion` checkboxes. Collect user selections. Proceed only with confirmed names.
**On "Skip"**: stop. Print report path.
---
## Phase 5 — Sync confirmed secrets
For each confirmed secret name:
```bash
doppler secrets get <NAME> --project <proj> --config <env> --plain 2>/dev/null \
| gh secret set <NAME> --repo <owner/repo>
```
After each write, verify:
```bash
gh secret list --repo <owner/repo> --json name,updatedAt \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.name == "<NAME>") | .updatedAt'
```
Confirm the `updatedAt` advanced. If it did not advance: report failure for that secret and continue with the rest.
Print per-secret outcome:
```
synced : INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY (Doppler 2026-04-23 → GH updated)
FAILED : SOME_KEY (gh secret set exited non-zero)
```
---
## Phase 6 — Summary
```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SYNC COMPLETE — <repo>
Synced : <S> secrets
Failed : <F> secrets
Skipped : <K> secrets
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
If failures > 0: suggest `doppler run --project <proj> --config <env> -- gh secret set <NAME> --repo <repo>` as a manual fallback.

## Example: recurring drift pattern
This skill exists because of a common drift pattern:
| Project | Secret | Situation |
|---------|--------|-----------|
| `<your-api>` | `INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY` | Rotated in Doppler — GH secret was 24 days stale, CI failures started after the grace period |
| `<your-service>` | `CEREBRAS_API_KEY` | Added to Doppler, never propagated to GH secrets — CI gate failed |
| `<your-service>` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Same pattern — GH missing, Doppler current |
Running `/ops:secret-sync --repo <your-org>/<your-api> --project <your-api> --config prd` would have surfaced `INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY` as DRIFTED before CI failed.
---
## Safety rules
- **Never** read or print raw secret values in the summary or logs.
- **Never** sync without user confirmation (Rule 5).
- Doppler values flow directly from `doppler secrets get --plain` into `gh secret set` via a pipe — they are never stored in shell variables, temp files, or command substitution.
- `--dry-run` always safe: no writes, report only.
---
## Mobile / SSH (Rule 7)
When `$SSH_CONNECTION` / `$OPS_MOBILE=1` / `$COLUMNS < 80`: skip the banner, emit compact lines:
```
repo: your-org/stagery-api project: stagery-api/prd
drifted: 2 missing: 1
INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY doppler: 2026-04-23 gh: 2026-03-30 (24d stale)
CEREBRAS_API_KEY gh: MISSING
```
