# Bitnami Sealed Secrets Asymmetric Encryption for Git

Implements Bitnami Sealed Secrets: encrypting secrets offline using kubeseal CLI and public controller certificate, committing SealedSecret manifests to Git, and letting the cluster controller decrypt into native Secrets.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- encrypt secret with kubeseal
- install sealed-secrets controller
- gitops secret management

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Install Sealed Secrets controller in kube-system namespace.
2. Fetch controller public key: kubeseal --fetch-cert > pub-sealed-secrets.pem.
3. Encrypt raw secret: kubectl create secret generic db-pass --dry-run=client --from-literal=pass=... -o yaml | kubeseal --cert pub-sealed-secrets.pem > sealed-secret.yaml.
4. Commit sealed-secret.yaml to Git repository and let GitOps controller deploy it.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
