1Password transitions from a consumer GUI password manager to an enterprise-grade secrets injection engine via its CLI (`op`). Using biometric authentication, `op` can securely load environment variables and SSH keys into terminal sessions at runtime. Agent skills allow AI models to request credentials on the fly, ensuring secrets are never hardcoded or leaked into the prompt context window.
