Google Cloud Secret Manager for JavaScript and TypeScript

Use this skill when adding, reviewing, or debugging Google Cloud Secret Manager usage in Node.js JavaScript or TypeScript projects.

Primary sources to refresh when behavior matters:

• googleapis/google-cloud-node, package packages/google-cloud-secretmanager
• Google Cloud Secret Manager docs: client libraries, access secret version, best practices, API enablement
• Node.js API reference for @google-cloud/secret-manager

As of the 2026-06-08 source check, the Node package is @google-cloud/secret-manager, the API reference documents package version 5.5.0, and the Google docs recommend Application Default Credentials (ADC).
