Ravi Vault

Ravi Vault

Store and retrieve key-value secrets (API keys, environment variables, tokens). All values are E2E encrypted — the CLI handles encryption/decryption transparently. Keys are stored in plaintext for lookup/filtering.

Commands

# Store a secret (creates or updates)
ravi secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY "sk-abc123..." --json

# With optional notes
ravi secrets set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY "sk_live_..." --json

# Retrieve a secret by key
ravi secrets get OPENAI_API_KEY --json
# -> {"key": "OPENAI_API_KEY", "value": "sk-abc123...", "notes": "", ...}

# List all secrets (values redacted in list view)
ravi secrets list --json

# Delete a secret by key
ravi secrets delete OPENAI_API_KEY --json

JSON Shapes

ravi secrets list --json:

[
  {
    "uuid": "...",
    "key": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
    "notes": "",
    "created_dt": "2026-02-25T10:30:00Z",
    "updated_dt": "2026-02-25T10:30:00Z"
  }
]

ravi secrets get KEY --json:

{
  "uuid": "...",
  "key": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
  "value": "sk-abc123...",
  "notes": "",
  "created_dt": "2026-02-25T10:30:00Z",
  "updated_dt": "2026-02-25T10:30:00Z"
}

OpenClaw Integration

When an agent needs API keys or secrets at runtime, use Ravi Vault as the backing store:

# Store a key for the agent to use later
ravi secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY "sk-abc123..." --json

# At runtime, retrieve the key
API_KEY=$(ravi secrets get OPENAI_API_KEY --json | jq -r '.value')
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" https://api.openai.com/v1/...

# Store multiple service keys
ravi secrets set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY "sk-ant-..." --json
ravi secrets set GITHUB_TOKEN "ghp_..." --json

# List all available keys
ravi secrets list --json | jq -r '.[].key'

Important Notes

• E2E encryption is transparent — the CLI encrypts values before sending and decrypts on retrieval. You see plaintext.
• Keys are unique per identity — setting a key that already exists updates it.
• Keys are plaintext — only values and notes are E2E encrypted. Use descriptive key names like OPENAI_API_KEY, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY.
• Always use --json — human-readable output is not designed for parsing.
