Developer environment orchestrator

Stop juggling .env files. Start running from one vault.

VaultDeck turns projects into runtime containers for secrets and environment variables. Keep API keys, tokens, and credential files centralized, then inject exactly what each app needs.

Quickstart Docs CLI Reference

Runtime Preview

# Project: Jackson
export OPENAI_API_KEY=***
export BRAVE_SEARCH_API=***
export DISCORD_TOKEN=***

# File refs
export GOOGLE_AUTH_FILE=~/.vaultdeck/files/auth.json

# Validate
node -e "console.log(process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY ? 'ok' : 'missing')"

Project-Centric Secrets

Organize env vars by the real systems that consume them: agents, stacks, services, and CLI workflows.

Single Source of Truth

VaultDeck stores and manages secrets in one inspectable local vault, then generates shell and env output.

Runtime Confidence

Preview shell exports, run smoke checks, and verify your environment before you launch your app.

How It Flows

1. Create Project

Define metadata, status, color tag, and default shell.

2. Add Secrets + Files

Store values and file references in `~/.vaultdeck/files`.

3. Validate Runtime

Check shell preview, Node/Python tests, and command snippets.

4. Inject + Ship

Inject project vars to your shell and run with confidence.
