1Password CLI
Follow the official CLI get-started steps. Don't guess install commands.

Workflow
- Check OS + shell.
- Verify CLI present:
op --version. - Confirm desktop app integration is enabled (per get-started) and the app is unlocked.
- REQUIRED: create a fresh tmux session for all
opcommands (no directopcalls outside tmux). - Sign in / authorize inside tmux:
op signin(expect app prompt). - Verify access inside tmux:
op whoami(must succeed before any secret read). - If multiple accounts: use
--accountorOP_ACCOUNT.
REQUIRED tmux session (T-Max)
The bash tool uses a fresh TTY per command. To avoid re-prompts and failures, always run op inside a dedicated tmux session with a fresh socket/session name.
Example (see tmux skill for socket conventions, do not reuse old session names):
SOCKET_DIR="${CLAWDBOT_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/clawdbot-tmux-sockets}"
mkdir -p "$SOCKET_DIR"
SOCKET="$SOCKET_DIR/clawdbot-op.sock"
SESSION="op-auth-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
tmux -S "$SOCKET" new -d -s "$SESSION" -n shell
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op signin --account my.1password.com" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op whoami" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op vault list" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -J -t "$SESSION":0.0 -S -200
tmux -S "$SOCKET" kill-session -t "$SESSION"
Guardrails
- Never paste secrets into logs, chat, or code.
- Prefer
op run/op injectover writing secrets to disk. - If sign-in without app integration is needed, use
op account add. - If a command returns "account is not signed in", re-run
op signininside tmux and authorize in the app. - Do not run
opoutside tmux; stop and ask if tmux is unavailable.
