# TOOLS.md - Local Notes Skills define *how* tools work. This file is for *your* specifics — the stuff that's unique to your setup. ## Rules ### 🔐 Never Ask for Secrets in Chat - Don't ask Donovan to paste API keys, passwords, or credentials in messages - Instead: walk him through adding them to Bitwarden or `~/.clawdbot/.env` himself - This applies even in private channels — bad habits are bad habits ### 🔐 Never Share Secrets in Chat - Never echo, print, or display contents of `~/.clawdbot/.env` - Never show session tokens, API keys, passwords — not even partial - If debugging auth, just say "got session" or "auth failed" — no values ## What Goes Here Things like: - Camera names and locations - SSH hosts and aliases - Preferred voices for TTS - Speaker/room names - Device nicknames - Anything environment-specific ## Environment ### Secrets Storage - Bitwarden CLI installed at `/home/clawdbot/.npm-global/bin/bw` - API credentials go in `~/.clawdbot/.env` (BW_CLIENTID, BW_CLIENTSECRET, BW_PASSWORD) - Bitwarden data: `~/.config/Bitwarden CLI/` ### Infrastructure - Host: Hostinger VPS, Ubuntu - User: clawdbot (sudo, needs password) ### Email - Gmail: hammer7839283@gmail.com - Access: Gmail API (OAuth2) - Helper script: `~/.local/bin/gmail` - Commands: `gmail list`, `gmail read `, `gmail send `, `gmail unread` ## Why Separate? Skills are shared. Your setup is yours. Keeping them apart means you can update skills without losing your notes, and share skills without leaking your infrastructure. --- Add whatever helps you do your job. This is your cheat sheet.
