super.engineering Pulls API Keys Out Of Chat
super.engineering stores API keys locally instead of sending them through chat prompts, then gives agents the file path they need. Password-field input and iPhone support make credential handoffs safer across devices. Official docs: https://super.engineering/docs/mobile-app/
This is the right security boundary for agentic developer tools: secrets should be available to local execution without becoming model context.
- –Keeping keys outside prompts reduces accidental transcript, log, and provider leakage.
- –Password-field requests are safer than asking users to paste credentials into conversational text.
- –iPhone support extends secure approvals and credential workflows beyond the desktop.
- –Local storage still makes file permissions, encryption, and machine compromise important user responsibilities.
- –The approach fits super.engineering’s broader local-first architecture and direct provider traffic model. [Privacy policy](https://super.engineering/privacy/)
