How does it prevent production errors?

It implements environment detection logic and guard functions that programmatically block high-risk operations if the current environment is not explicitly set to production.

Can I use this for local development?

Yes, it includes setup for local .env files and sandbox API configurations to ensure local development remains isolated from production data.

What environment variables does this skill handle?

It primarily manages EXA_API_KEY and environment-specific base URLs, but can be extended to handle custom feature flags, timeout settings, and cache TTLs.

Which secret managers are supported?

The skill includes pre-built commands and patterns for AWS Secrets Manager, Google Cloud Secret Manager, and HashiCorp Vault.
