## What it does

Reach for it when an agent needs an API key or password and you would rather not type it into the conversation. The skill creates a one-time public link backed by an HTTP form bound only to `127.0.0.1`. You open the link, submit the values once, and they land in the file you named in advance — never in model context.

Under the hood there is a single Python script, `scripts/handoff.py`, plus `cloudflared`. No Python packages, no Cloudflare account, domain or token. Run `doctor` before the first form: if it reports `cloudflared=missing`, the skill works out your OS and package manager and installs the binary from Cloudflare's official channel. If `cloudflared` sits outside `PATH`, point `CLOUDFLARED_BIN` at it.

The flow goes `doctor`, then `create --field API_KEY --ttl 600`, send the link, wait for the user to confirm, run `status RECEIPT_ID`, then `consume` into the approved path. Existing keys in the destination need `--overwrite`. Public TLS terminates at Cloudflare's edge, so Cloudflare sits inside the trust boundary — a deliberate trade-off, not browser end-to-end encryption. Pending form data and receipts are plaintext at rest under `$XDG_STATE_HOME/secure-secret-drop/` or `~/.local/state/secure-secret-drop/`, so consume or cancel soon after the drop.

## When to use it
- hand an API key to an agent without pasting it in chat
- take a password from a teammate through a one-time link
- write submitted values straight into an agreed `.env` path
- check whether a submission arrived with `status`, without revealing values
- close a form early with `cancel`

## Example prompts
- Create a form for API_KEY and API_SECRET and send me the link.
- Check the status of RECEIPT_ID, don't show the values.
- Consume the submission into /exact/approved/path.env.

# Secure Secret Drop

Use this local skill when a user needs to provide secrets without chat or vault. It creates a temporary public capability URL over an isolated Cloudflare Quick Tunnel backed by an HTTP origin bound only to `127.0.0.1`, then writes submitted bytes directly to an explicitly authorized destination file without placing them in model context.

## Requirements and first-run setup

Required:

- Python 3 with the standard library; no Python packages are needed.
- The `cloudflared` executable.
- Outbound network access to Cloudflare. The local form origin binds only to `127.0.0.1`.

A Cloudflare account, domain, API token, `cloudflared tunnel login`, named tunnel, DNS record, and background service are **not** required. This skill creates an anonymous, temporary Quick Tunnel for each drop.

Before creating the first form, run `doctor`. If it reports `cloudflared=missing`, do not attempt `create` and do not tell the user to solve it manually when terminal tools are available. Read [Cloudflared setup](references/cloudflared-setup.md), identify the host OS and package manager, explain the proposed installation, obtain any approval required for package installation or `sudo`, install from Cloudflare's official distribution channel, and rerun both `cloudflared --version` and `doctor`. Never run `cloudflared tunnel login`, create DNS, install a tunnel service, or alter an existing Cloudflare configuration for this skill.

If `cloudflared` is installed outside `PATH`, set `CLOUDFLARED_BIN` to its absolute executable path for the command invocation or agent service environment. The CLI also checks common macOS/Linux locations automatically.

## Workflow

1. Run `doctor`.
2. Create the form and send the returned URL to the user. Never ask them to paste values in chat.
3. The user submits once and says only that submission is complete.
4. Run `status RECEIPT_ID`; it reveals status and field names, never values, lengths, or hashes.
```
