Minimal secure secret handoff

Side_Peace ๐Ÿ’

Dead simple secret handoff from human to AI. No npm packages to trust โ€” just Node.js built-ins.

Key security feature: Secret is written to a temp file, NEVER printed to stdout. This prevents secrets from appearing in chat logs or command output.

How It Works

  1. Agent runs node drop.js --label "API Key"
  2. Agent shares the URL with human
  3. Human opens URL in browser, pastes secret, submits
  4. Secret is saved to temp file (printed path only, not content)
  5. Agent reads file, uses secret, deletes file

Usage

# Basic - secret saved to random temp file
node skills/side-peace/drop.js --label "CLAWHUB_TOKEN"

# Custom output path
node skills/side-peace/drop.js --label "API_KEY" --output /tmp/my-secret.txt

# Custom port
node skills/side-peace/drop.js --port 4000 --label "TOKEN"

Reading the Secret

After receiving, the secret is in the temp file:

# Read and use (example with clawhub)
SECRET=$(cat /tmp/side-peace-xxx.secret)
npx clawhub login --token "$SECRET" --no-browser
rm /tmp/side-peace-xxx.secret

Or one-liner:

cat /tmp/side-peace-xxx.secret | xargs -I{} npx clawhub login --token {} --no-browser; rm /tmp/side-peace-xxx.secret

Security

  • Zero dependencies โ€” only Node.js built-ins
  • Secret never in stdout โ€” written to file with 0600 permissions
  • Memory only until saved โ€” temp file deleted after use
  • One-time โ€” server exits after receiving
  • ~60 lines โ€” fully auditable

Output

๐Ÿ’ Side_Peace waiting...
   Label: CLAWHUB_TOKEN
   Output: /tmp/side-peace-a1b2c3d4.secret

   Local:    http://localhost:3000
   Network:  http://192.168.1.94:3000

Waiting for secret...

โœ“ Secret received and saved.
  File: /tmp/side-peace-a1b2c3d4.secret
  (Secret is NOT printed to stdout for security)

The secret is in the file. Read it, use it, delete it.
