Its project tagline frames the tool around AI-safe `.env` files: schemas are safe for agents and collaborators to read, while actual secrets are resolved separately. ### Projektgeschichte The project is built on `@env-spec`, a DSL that extends normal `.env` syntax with JSDoc-style decorator comments and function-call values. The initial `@env-spec` RFC was proposed on May 13, 2025 by maintainers Phil Millman and Theo Ephraim, describing the goal of richer validation, type coercion, sensitive-value handling, and dynamic loading while keeping the familiar `.env` format. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Varlock targets the pain point left by `.env.example`: example files are safe to commit but often drift from real runtime requirements. Varlock instead promotes a committed `.env.schema` as a single source of truth, with local or environment-specific `.env.*` files supplying values. ### Wie es verwendet wird Typical usage starts with `varlock init`, which scans existing `.env` files and creates a root `.env.schema`. Users then run `varlock load` to validate and inspect resolved environment variables or `varlock run -- ` to execute a process with resolved values. The tool also ships as a standalone binary, Docker image, editor support, and plugins for secret backends such as 1Password, AWS, Azure, Google Secret Manager, HashiCorp Vault, and others. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package users, Varlock is notable as an attempt to standardize metadata around environment variables without forcing a new YAML, JSON, or TypeScript schema file. It is especially tuned for modern AI-assisted development, where agents need configuration context but should not be handed plaintext secrets. ### Zeitleiste - 2025-05-13: Initial `@env-spec` RFC proposed. - 2026: Repository documents Varlock as a CLI, Docker image, VS Code extension ecosystem, and plugin host for multiple secret backends. ### Related projects - DMNO is cited by the maintainers as the predecessor whose lessons informed Varlock. - `@env-spec` is the underlying specification and parser family used by Varlock. ### Quellen - Initial @env-spec RFC: https://github.com/dmno-dev/varlock/discussions/17 - Official @env-spec overview: https://varlock.dev/env-spec/overview/ - Official GitHub repository: https://github.com/dmno-dev/varlock - Official installation guide: https://varlock.dev/getting-started/installation/ ## Sicherheitshinweise Für varlock wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
