My agents are building a secure fork of OpenClaw

Show HN: SEKSBot – AI agents that can't see your secrets SEKSBot is a fork of OpenClaw where agents have zero access to API keys, tokens, or credentials — ever. The core insight is borrowed from SQL prepared statements: separate the instructions from the sensitive data. Agents write requests using named secret references. A broker intercepts and injects the real credentials at execution time. The agent never sees them. How it works: seksh (our nushell fork) has secure built-in commands (seksh-http, seksh-git) that route through the broker. Agents can make authenticated API calls and git…

What it does

SEKSBot - Secure secret management for AI agents and shells

A nushell fork with broker integration. Use API keys and credentials without exposing them to your shell session. Cloud-native secret management. Agents authenticate with tokens; the broker injects real credentials at runtime. Secrets never touch agent memory. Output scrubbing catches accidental leaks. Audit logging tracks every access. AI agents need API keys to be useful. But giving an agent your credentials means: SEKSBot solves this. Agents request capabilities by name. The broker handles the actual secrets. # Clone seksh (nushell fork with broker integration) git clone https://github.com/SEKSBot/seksh cd seksh && git checkout seks-shell cargo build --release # Configure broker…from seksbot.com

    Hi HN — I’m a heavy OpenClaw user and, like many others, I’ve been thinking about how to give these new “unleashed” agents secure access to my accounts. Agents need API access to be useful. But API keys are long-lived secrets. And agents are not secure environments. So I built something for myself that quickly turned into a product: keychains.dev. The idea is simple: agents never see raw credentials. With Keychains.dev: • Agents make API calls via a drop-in replacement for curl or JavaScript’s fetch() • They use template variable names instead of embedding credentials • The request is…

    Hi HN, At Imbue, we’ve been following the rapid developments in the agent landscape and noticed that the way agents interact with third-party services on users’ behalf often leaves a lot to be desired. Integrations are ad hoc, complicated, context-heavy, and either unfriendly to non-technical users or tied to a lock-in of some sort. We‘re experimenting with a command-line tool, Latchkey, that could be used by local agents targeted at non-technical users while avoiding remote intermediaries. As far as we know, this is the only existing approach at the intersection of these two goals. Core…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
