API Credentials Management

🚨 DEPRECATED: This skill is no longer needed for hosted skills environments.

New approach: Skills now read credentials directly from project knowledge files:

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.txt, GOOGLE_API_KEY.txt, GITHUB_API_KEY.txt (recommended)
• Or API_CREDENTIALS.json (combined file)

See updated skill documentation:

• orchestrating-chat-agents
• invoking-gemini
• invoking-github

Legacy use only: This skill may still be useful for local development environments or backward compatibility.

---

⚠️ WARNING: This is a PERSONAL skill - DO NOT share or commit with actual credentials!

This skill provides secure storage and retrieval of API credentials for multiple providers. It serves as a dependency for other skills that need to invoke external APIs programmatically.

Supported Providers

• Anthropic (Claude API)
• Google (Gemini API, Vertex AI, etc.)
• GitHub (GitHub API, Personal Access Tokens)
• Extensible for additional providers

Purpose

• Centralized credential storage for multiple API providers
• Secure retrieval methods for dependent skills
• Clear error messages when credentials are missing
• Support for multiple credential sources (config file, environment variables)

Usage by Other Skills

Skills that need to invoke APIs should reference this skill:

Anthropic Claude API

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/user/claude-skills/api-credentials/scripts')
from credentials import get_anthropic_api_key

try:
    api_key = get_anthropic_api_key()
    # Use api_key for Claude API calls
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Google Gemini API

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/user/claude-skills/api-credentials/scripts')
from credentials import get_google_api_key

try:
    api_key = get_google_api_key()
    # Use api_key for Gemini API calls
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

GitHub API

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/user/claude-skills/api-credentials/scripts')
from credentials import get_github_api_key

try:
    api_key = get_github_api_key()
    # Use api_key for GitHub API calls
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
