API Key Rotation & Skill Repackaging¶
Overview¶
Rotated the exposed OpenAI and Google API keys using a secure clipboard-based workflow (keys never appeared in the conversation transcript). Updated the api-keys.json vault, copied it to the source-of-truth location on Brian's Mac, repackaged the LLM triangulator skill with the new keys, and rewrote CLAUDE.md to include proper session lifecycle instructions for invoking context-manager and workspace-health at the right moments. Ran a workspace health check after the repackage — 15 passed, 1 false positive.
Key Decisions¶
- Secure key workflow established: API keys are updated via clipboard-read, never pasted into chat. Brian copies the key, Claude reads it via
read_clipboard, writes directly to the vault file. - CLAUDE.md rewritten: Removed stale triangulator override pointing to dead session path (
/sessions/gallant-vibrant-fermi/...). Added explicit session lifecycle instructions: invoke context-manager at start/end, invoke workspace-health after skill changes. Added correct triangulator file paths and API key security workflow. - Rootphi-core path confirmed: The mounted rootphi-core folder lives at
~/Documents/Claude/Projects/rootphi-core/on Brian's Mac.
