envsitter-guard

OpenCode plugin that prevents agents/tools from reading or editing sensitive .env* files, while still allowing safe inspection via EnvSitter (keys + deterministic fingerprints; never values).

Why

Accidentally printing .env contents is one of the easiest ways for an agentic workflow to leak secrets into:

• chat transcripts
• logs/tool output
• commits/patches
• screenshots / shared sessions

envsitter-guard blocks the risky operations and points users to safe alternatives.

What it does

This plugin does two things:

1. Adds safe tools:
   • envsitter_keys: list keys in a dotenv file (no values)
   • envsitter_fingerprint: hash/fingerprint one key’s value (no value)
2. Blocks sensitive file access via OpenCode tool hooks:
   • blocks read of sensitive .env* paths
   • blocks edit / write / patch of sensitive .env* paths
   • blocks access to .envsitter/pepper

.env.example is explicitly allowed.

Tools

envsitter_keys

Lists keys in a dotenv file.

• Input: { "filePath"?: string } (defaults to .env)
• Output: JSON { file, keys }

Example (inside OpenCode):

{ "tool": "envsitter_keys", "args": { "filePath": ".env" } }

envsitter_fingerprint

Computes a deterministic fingerprint of a single key.

• Input: { "filePath"?: string, "key": string } (filePath defaults to .env)
• Output: JSON { file, key, result }

Example (inside OpenCode):

{ "tool": "envsitter_fingerprint", "args": { "filePath": ".env", "key": "DATABASE_URL" } }

Install & enable in OpenCode

OpenCode supports loading plugins either from local files or from npm.

Reference docs:

• https://opencode.ai/docs/plugins/
• https://opencode.ai/docs/config/#plugins

Option A (recommended): load from npm via opencode.json

Add the plugin package to your OpenCode config.

opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["envsitter-guard@latest"]
}

Option B: local plugin file (project-level)

If you want a local plugin file in-repo (or need local overrides), create .opencode/plugin/envsitter-guard.ts:

import EnvSitterGuard from "envsitter-guard";

export default EnvSitterGuard;
export { EnvSitterGuard } from "envsitter-guard";

Then create .opencode/package.json with the dependency so OpenCode can install it:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "envsitter-guard": "latest"
  }
}

Restart OpenCode; files in .opencode/plugin/ are loaded automatically.

Option C: global plugin file

Place a plugin file in ~/.config/opencode/plugin/ if you want it enabled for all projects.

(You can use the same contents as Option B.)

Behavior details

What paths are considered sensitive?

• Sensitive: .env, .env.local, .env.production, etc. (.env*)
• Allowed: .env.example
• Always blocked: .envsitter/pepper

What operations are blocked?

• read on sensitive .env* paths
• edit / write / patch on sensitive .env* paths

When blocked, the plugin shows a throttled warning toast and suggests using EnvSitter instead.
