- The described local proxy injects secrets for a destination domain, while a SQLite ledger records one row per call.
Field notes
The described workflow keeps secrets in a user-configured vault and resolves them only when a call is made, with the local proxy handling injection. The page names Bitwarden, 1Password, an operating-system keychain, and an encrypted file as options, and says a SQLite ledger records each call. Setup commands for Claude Code and Codex are visible, though the page notes the package is not yet on npm.
