Private Context Bootstrap

Purpose

Use this skill when an agent needs private user data that must be available across machines, but must not be hardcoded into public skills, prompts, logs, or repositories.

This skill defines how to locate, clone, decrypt, validate, and materialize private local files from remote storage.

Core Principle

Skills are public process definitions. Private data lives outside public skill folders.

Architecture

Use three layers:

1. Public skill repository: generic skills, schemas, fake examples, scripts, and documentation. No real personal values.
2. Private remote data repository: private YAML, JSONL logs, document manifests, criteria, and optionally PDFs. Prefer file-level encryption.
3. Secret manager: bootstrap secrets and encryption keys.
