SlipBox

Use the SlipBox service for writes and semantic passes. Use PrivateBox as the persisted read surface. Do not bypass the service by writing notes directly to the repository.

Preflight

Check only whether the required variables are present; never print the secret value:

test -n "$SLIPBOX_API_KEY" && echo "SLIPBOX_API_KEY: set" || echo "SLIPBOX_API_KEY: missing"
test -n "$SLIPBOX_URL" && echo "SLIPBOX_URL: set" || echo "SLIPBOX_URL: missing"
test -n "$SLIPBOX_PRIVATEBOX_REPO" && echo "SLIPBOX_PRIVATEBOX_REPO: set" || echo "SLIPBOX_PRIVATEBOX_REPO: missing"

If a required value is missing, stop and name the missing variable. Do not search shell history or configuration files for secrets.

Verify the service before any write or analysis call:
