+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Configuration
+
+The system is configured via `key-manager.config.json` in the repository root. This file defines:
+
+- **Required keys**: Which environment variables are needed
+- **External sources**: Where to fetch missing keys
+- **Injection targets**: Where keys should be placed (.env, docker-compose, etc.)
+- **Security settings**: Masking, memory clearing, rotation policies
+
+Example configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "requiredKeys": [
+    {
+      "name": "DATABASE_URL",
+      "description": "PostgreSQL database connection string",
+      "pattern": "^postgresql://",
+      "required": true,
+      "inject": [".env", "docker-compose"]
+    }
+  ],
+  "externalSources": [
+    {
+      "name": "keyfinder",
+      "type": "api",
+      "authSecret": "KEYFINDER_SECRET",
+      "endpoint": "https://api.keyfinder.example.com/v1/keys"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 2. GitHub Secrets Setup
+
+Add the following secrets to your GitHub repository:
+
+1. **KEYFINDER_SECRET** (optional): Authentication token for external key sources
+2. Any other service-specific secrets you want to manage
+
+Go to: `Repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret`
+
+### 3. Usage in Workflows
+
+#### As a Reusable Workflow
+
+Add to your existing CI/CD workflow:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      # ... your build steps ...
+
+  manage-keys:
+    name: Manage Keys
+    needs: build
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+      dry_run: false
+```
+
+#### Manual Trigger
+
+You can also trigger the workflow manually from the GitHub Actions tab:
+
+1. Go to `Actions → Key Management`
+2. Click `Run workflow`
+3. Select command (`scan`, `check`, or `inject`)
+4. Choose whether to run in dry-run mode
+5. Click `Run workflow`
+
+### 4. Command Line Usage
+
+You can also run the key manager script locally:
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+cd scripts
+bun install
+
+# Scan and manage keys (full workflow)
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts scan
+
+# Just check GitHub secrets
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts check
+
+# Inject keys from environment to files
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts inject
+```
+
+**Environment variables required:**
+- `GITHUB_TOKEN`: GitHub personal access token with repo and secrets permissions
+- `GITHUB_REPOSITORY`: Format `owner/repo`
+- `KEYFINDER_SECRET`: (optional) For external key fetching
+
+## Commands
+
+### `scan` (Default)
+
+Runs the complete workflow:
+1. Scans for required keys
+2. Checks GitHub secrets
+3. Fetches missing keys from external sources
+4. Stores new keys in GitHub secrets
+5. Injects keys into configuration files
+6. Clears sensitive data from memory
+
+```bash
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts scan
+```
+
+### `check`
+
+Only checks which keys exist in GitHub secrets without making changes:
+
+```bash
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts check
+```
+
+### `inject`
+
+Injects keys from environment variables into configuration files:
+
+```bash
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts inject
+```
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+### Key Definition
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "API_KEY_NAME",
+  "description": "Human-readable description",
+  "pattern": "^regex_pattern$",  // Optional validation pattern
+  "required": true,               // Whether key is required
+  "inject": [".env", "docker-compose"]  // Where to inject
+}
+```
+
+### External Sources
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "source_name",
+  "type": "api",
+  "description": "Source description",
+  "authSecret": "GITHUB_SECRET_NAME",
+  "endpoint": "https://api.example.com/keys"
+}
+```
+
+### Injection Targets
+
+```json
+{
+  ".env": {
+    "path": ".env",
+    "format": "dotenv",
+    "template": ".env.example"
+  },
+  "docker-compose": {
+    "path": "docker-compose.prod.yml",
+    "format": "yaml",
+    "section": "services.app.environment"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### 1. GitHub Secrets Masking
+
+The system automatically uses GitHub's secret masking feature. Any value stored as a secret will be masked in logs.
+
+### 2. Memory Clearing
+
+After processing, all sensitive values are overwritten in memory and deleted.
+
+### 3. No Logging of Secrets
+
+The system never logs actual key values. Only key names and metadata are logged.
+
+### 4. Limited Access
+
+- Only repository owners and administrators can access GitHub secrets
+- The `GITHUB_TOKEN` used by workflows has limited, scoped permissions
+- External key fetching requires separate authentication
+
+### 5. Key Rotation
+
+Configure rotation warnings in the config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "security": {
+    "rotationWarningDays": 90
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is required"
+
+**Solution**: Ensure the workflow has proper permissions:
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  secrets: write
+```
+
+### Issue: Keys not found in GitHub secrets
+
+**Solution**: 
+- Verify secrets in `Repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions`
+- Check you have admin access to the repository
+- Ensure the GITHUB_TOKEN has `secrets: write` permission
+
+### Issue: External key fetch failing
+
+**Solution**:
+- Add KEYFINDER_SECRET to repository secrets
+- Check external service endpoint in config
+- Verify authentication credentials
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start with dry-run mode**: Test changes with `dry_run: true` first
+2. **Use templates**: Maintain `.env.example` as a template for new environments
+3. **Regular audits**: Schedule weekly key audits with the `check` command
+4. **Document keys**: Add clear descriptions in the config file
+5. **Rotate regularly**: Set up rotation reminders for sensitive keys
+6. **Limit access**: Only grant key access to necessary users and workflows
+7. **Monitor usage**: Review workflow logs regularly

+# Example: Integrating Key Management with CI/CD
+
+This example demonstrates how to integrate the automated key management system with your existing CI/CD workflow.
+
+## Basic Integration
+
+Add the key management workflow after your build step:
+
+```yaml
+name: CI
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [main, staging]
+
+jobs:
+  test-build:
+    name: Test and Build
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/test-build.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+
+  # Add key management after successful build
+  manage-keys:
+    name: Manage API Keys
+    needs: test-build
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+      dry_run: false
+
+  # Deploy only after keys are ready
+  deploy:
+    name: Deploy Application
+    needs: manage-keys
+    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Deploy to production
+        run: |
+          echo "Deploying with managed keys..."
+          # Your deployment logic here
+```
+
+## Manual Key Audit
+
+Run a weekly audit of your keys:
+
+```yaml
+name: Weekly Key Audit
+
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 0 * * 0'  # Every Sunday at midnight
+
+jobs:
+  audit-keys:
+    name: Audit Repository Keys
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'check'
+      dry_run: true
+```
+
+## Pre-Deployment Key Injection
+
+Inject keys before deploying:
+
+```yaml
+name: Manual Deployment
+
+on:
+  workflow_dispatch:
+    inputs:
+      environment:
+        description: 'Target environment'
+        required: true
+        type: choice
+        options:
+          - staging
+          - production
+
+jobs:
+  prepare-keys:
+    name: Prepare Keys
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'inject'
+      dry_run: false
+
+  deploy:
+    name: Deploy to ${{ inputs.environment }}
+    needs: prepare-keys
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    environment: ${{ inputs.environment }}
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Deploy
+        run: ./scripts/deploy.sh ${{ inputs.environment }}
+```
+
+## Local Development
+
+Use the key manager locally during development:
+
+```bash
+# Set up your environment
+export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"
+export GITHUB_REPOSITORY="owner/repo"
+
+# Check which keys exist
+cd scripts
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts check
+
+# Inject keys from environment to .env file
+export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://..."
+export ENCRYPTION_KEY="..."
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts inject
+```
+
+## Multi-Repository Setup
+
+For organizations with multiple repositories, you can:
+
+1. Create a centralized key management repository
+2. Share the workflow across repositories
+3. Use organization-level secrets
+
+```yaml
+# In other repositories
+jobs:
+  manage-keys:
+    uses: your-org/key-management/.github/workflows/key-manager.yml@main
+    secrets: inherit
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use dry-run first**: Test with `dry_run: true` before making changes
+2. **Audit regularly**: Schedule periodic key audits
+3. **Document changes**: Update `key-manager.config.json` when adding new services
+4. **Rotate keys**: Set reminders for key rotation
+5. **Monitor access**: Review who has access to repository secrets
+
+## Security Tips
+
+- Use environment-specific secrets (e.g., `STAGING_DATABASE_URL`, `PROD_DATABASE_URL`)
+- Limit workflow permissions to minimum required
+- Enable branch protection to prevent unauthorized workflow changes
+- Use GitHub's secret scanning to detect leaked secrets
+- Implement approval requirements for production deployments
+
+## Customization
+
+### Custom External Source
+
+Add your own key source by extending the configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "externalSources": [
+    {
+      "name": "corporate-vault",
+      "type": "api",
+      "description": "Corporate HashiCorp Vault",
+      "authSecret": "VAULT_TOKEN",
+      "endpoint": "https://vault.company.com/v1/secret"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Injection Target
+
+Support additional file formats:
+
+```json
+{
+  "injectionTargets": {
+    "kubernetes": {
+      "path": "k8s/secrets.yaml",
+      "format": "kubernetes",
+      "section": "data"
+    },
+    "terraform": {
+      "path": "terraform/secrets.tfvars",
+      "format": "hcl"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Keys not being stored
+
+Check workflow permissions:
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  secrets: write  # Required!
+```
+
+### External source timeout
+
+Increase timeout in workflow:
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  manage-keys:
+    timeout-minutes: 15  # Default is 10
+```
+
+### Missing dependencies
+
+Ensure scripts directory has dependencies:
+```yaml
+- name: Install dependencies
+  working-directory: scripts
+  run: bun install
+```

+# Integration Example: Adding Key Management to CI/CD
+
+This document shows a complete example of integrating the key management system into the existing CI workflow.
+
+## Current CI Workflow
+
+The repository already has a CI workflow at `.github/workflows/ci.yml` that:
+1. Runs tests and builds
+2. Builds Docker images
+3. Deploys to ECR and GHCR
+
+## Adding Key Management
+
+### Option 1: End-of-Build Integration (Recommended)
+
+Add key management after the build but before deployment:
+
+```yaml
+# In .github/workflows/ci.yml
+
+jobs:
+  # Existing jobs
+  test-build:
+    name: Test and Build
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/test-build.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+
+  # NEW: Add key management
+  manage-keys:
+    name: Manage API Keys
+    needs: test-build
+    if: github.event_name == 'push' && (github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/staging')
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+      dry_run: false
+
+  # Existing deployment jobs - now depend on key management
+  build-amd64:
+    name: Build AMD64
+    needs: [test-build, manage-keys]  # Added manage-keys dependency
+    if: github.event_name == 'push' && (github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' || github.ref == 'refs/heads/staging')
+    runs-on: blacksmith-8vcpu-ubuntu-2404
+    # ... rest of the job
+```
+
+### Option 2: Separate Workflow
+
+Create a new workflow that runs on a schedule:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/key-audit.yml
+name: Weekly Key Audit
+
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 0 * * 0'  # Every Sunday at midnight
+  workflow_dispatch:     # Allow manual trigger
+
+jobs:
+  audit-keys:
+    name: Audit Repository Keys
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'check'
+      dry_run: true
+```
+
+### Option 3: Pre-Deployment
+
+Add to deployment workflows:
+
+```yaml
+# Before deploying
+jobs:
+  prepare-environment:
+    name: Prepare Environment
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'inject'
+      dry_run: false
+
+  deploy:
+    name: Deploy
+    needs: prepare-environment
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Deploy application
+        run: ./deploy.sh
+```
+
+## Environment-Specific Keys
+
+For different environments (staging vs production):
+
+```json
+// key-manager.config.json
+{
+  "requiredKeys": [
+    {
+      "name": "DATABASE_URL",
+      "description": "PostgreSQL database connection string",
+      "required": true,
+      "inject": [".env"]
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "STAGING_DATABASE_URL",
+      "description": "Staging database connection string",
+      "required": false,
+      "inject": [".env.staging"]
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "PROD_DATABASE_URL",
+      "description": "Production database connection string",
+      "required": false,
+      "inject": [".env.production"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Then in the workflow:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  deploy-staging:
+    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/staging'
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+    # Will check for STAGING_DATABASE_URL
+
+  deploy-production:
+    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+    # Will check for PROD_DATABASE_URL
+```
+
+## Docker Build Integration
+
+Inject keys before building Docker images:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  prepare-keys:
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'inject'
+
+  build-docker:
+    needs: prepare-keys
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      
+      # Keys are now available in .env
+      - name: Build Docker image
+        run: |
+          docker build \
+            --build-arg DATABASE_URL=${{ secrets.DATABASE_URL }} \
+            --build-arg ENCRYPTION_KEY=${{ secrets.ENCRYPTION_KEY }} \
+            -t myapp:latest .
+```
+
+## Complete Example
+
+Here's a complete workflow showing all pieces together:
+
+```yaml
+name: Complete CI/CD with Key Management
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [main, staging]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [main]
+
+jobs:
+  # 1. Test and build
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Run tests
+        run: npm test
+
+  # 2. Manage keys (only on push to main/staging)
+  manage-keys:
+    needs: test
+    if: github.event_name == 'push'
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+      dry_run: false
+
+  # 3. Build (depends on keys being ready)
+  build:
+    needs: [test, manage-keys]
+    if: github.event_name == 'push'
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Build application
+        env:
+          DATABASE_URL: ${{ secrets.DATABASE_URL }}
+          ENCRYPTION_KEY: ${{ secrets.ENCRYPTION_KEY }}
+        run: npm run build
+
+  # 4. Deploy (only on main)
+  deploy:
+    needs: build
+    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - name: Deploy to production
+        run: ./deploy.sh
+```
+
+## Local Development Setup
+
+For developers working locally:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install dependencies
+cd scripts
+npm install
+
+# 2. Set up authentication
+export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_personal_access_token"
+export GITHUB_REPOSITORY="al7566/sim"
+
+# 3. Check current keys
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts check
+
+# 4. Inject keys from environment (for local .env)
+export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://localhost:5432/simstudio"
+export ENCRYPTION_KEY="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
+export BETTER_AUTH_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts inject
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Alerts
+
+Set up notifications for key management:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  manage-keys:
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+
+  notify:
+    needs: manage-keys
+    if: failure()
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Send notification
+        run: |
+          echo "Key management failed!" | \
+          curl -X POST ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK }} \
+            -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+            -d '{"text":"Key management workflow failed"}'
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Branch Protection**: Enable branch protection for main/staging
+2. **Required Reviews**: Require reviews for workflow changes
+3. **CODEOWNERS**: Add `.github/workflows/` to CODEOWNERS
+4. **Audit Logs**: Review GitHub audit logs regularly
+5. **Rotate Keys**: Set up calendar reminders for key rotation
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If key management causes issues:
+
+```yaml
+# Temporarily disable by setting dry_run: true
+jobs:
+  manage-keys:
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'check'
+      dry_run: true  # Just check, don't modify
+```
+
+Or comment out the key management job entirely while you investigate.
+
+## Testing the Integration
+
+1. **Test in a fork first**:
+   ```bash
+   # Fork the repository
+   # Add required secrets to fork
+   # Test workflow runs
+   ```
+
+2. **Use dry-run mode**:
+   ```yaml
+   with:
+     dry_run: true  # Test without making changes
+   ```
+
+3. **Start with `check` command**:
+   ```yaml
+   with:
+     command: 'check'  # Just audit, don't modify
+   ```
+
+4. **Monitor workflow runs**:
+   - Check Actions tab
+   - Review workflow logs
+   - Verify no sensitive data exposed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Keys not being found
+- Verify secrets are added to repository settings
+- Check secret names match configuration
+- Ensure proper permissions on workflow
+
+### Workflow fails
+- Check workflow logs for errors
+- Verify GitHub token has required permissions
+- Test locally with same commands
+
+### Keys not injected
+- Check file paths in configuration
+- Verify injection targets exist
+- Review workflow artifacts
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After successful integration:
+
+1. ✅ Set up weekly key audits
+2. ✅ Document key rotation schedule
+3. ✅ Add keys to .env.example with dummy values
+4. ✅ Train team on key management workflow
+5. ✅ Set up monitoring and alerts

+# Key Management Quick Start
+
+This guide gets you started with the automated key management system in minutes.
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+- GitHub repository with Actions enabled
+- Repository admin access (for secrets management)
+- Bun or Node.js installed (for local usage)
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Add KEYFINDER_SECRET (Optional)
+
+If you want to fetch keys from external sources:
+
+1. Go to your repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
+2. Click "New repository secret"
+3. Name: `KEYFINDER_SECRET`
+4. Value: Your external key finder authentication token
+5. Click "Add secret"
+
+### 2. Configure Required Keys
+
+Edit `key-manager.config.json` to define your application's keys:
+
+```json
+{
+  "requiredKeys": [
+    {
+      "name": "YOUR_API_KEY",
+      "description": "Description of what this key is for",
+      "required": true,
+      "inject": [".env"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Run Key Management
+
+#### Option A: Manual Trigger (Recommended for first run)
+
+1. Go to Actions tab → Key Management
+2. Click "Run workflow"
+3. Select `check` command to see what keys exist
+4. Click "Run workflow"
+
+#### Option B: Integrate with CI/CD
+
+Add to your workflow file:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  your-build:
+    # ... your build steps ...
+
+  manage-keys:
+    needs: your-build
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+```
+
+#### Option C: Command Line
+
+```bash
+cd scripts
+export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_token"
+export GITHUB_REPOSITORY="owner/repo"
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts check
+```
+
+## 📊 Understanding the Output
+
+When you run the key manager, you'll see:
+
+```
+🔐 Automated Key Management System
+══════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+🔧 Initializing Key Manager...
+✅ Loaded configuration with 13 key definitions
+
+📊 Scanning for required keys...
+  • DATABASE_URL - PostgreSQL database connection string
+  • ENCRYPTION_KEY - Encryption key for environment variables
+  ...
+
+🔍 Checking GitHub repository secrets...
+  ✓ DATABASE_URL - found in GitHub secrets
+  ✗ SOME_API_KEY - not found in GitHub secrets
+✅ Found 8/13 keys in GitHub secrets
+
+📋 Key Management Summary
+══════════════════════════════════════════════════
+Total keys defined: 13
+  Required: 7
+  Optional: 6
+```
+
+## 🔑 Common Commands
+
+### Check existing keys
+```bash
+bunx tsx scripts/key-manager.ts check
+```
+
+### Scan and manage all keys
+```bash
+bunx tsx scripts/key-manager.ts scan
+```
+
+### Inject keys from environment
+```bash
+export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://..."
+bunx tsx scripts/key-manager.ts inject
+```
+
+## 🛡️ Security Features
+
+- ✅ **Automatic masking**: All key values are masked in logs
+- ✅ **Memory clearing**: Sensitive data is cleared after processing
+- ✅ **GitHub secrets**: Keys stored securely in repository secrets
+- ✅ **No plain text**: Keys never written to plain text files in commits
+
+## 🔄 Typical Workflow
+
+1. **Development**: Add new API integration to your app
+2. **Configuration**: Update `key-manager.config.json` with new key
+3. **Storage**: Add key value to GitHub secrets manually or via key manager
+4. **Deployment**: Key manager injects keys during build/deploy
+5. **Cleanup**: Key manager clears sensitive data from workflow memory
+
+## 📝 Adding a New Key
+
+1. Edit `key-manager.config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "STRIPE_API_KEY",
+  "description": "Stripe payment processing API key",
+  "pattern": "^sk_",
+  "required": false,
+  "inject": [".env"]
+}
+```
+
+2. Add the key to GitHub secrets:
+   - Go to Settings → Secrets → New repository secret
+   - Name: `STRIPE_API_KEY`
+   - Value: `sk_test_...`
+
+3. Run the key manager:
+```bash
+bunx tsx scripts/key-manager.ts check
+```
+
+## ⚠️ Troubleshooting
+
+### "GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is required"
+
+**Local usage**: Export your GitHub token:
+```bash
+export GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_..."
+export GITHUB_REPOSITORY="owner/repo"
+```
+
+**GitHub Actions**: Ensure workflow has permissions:
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  secrets: write
+```
+
+### Keys not being injected
+
+1. Check `key-manager.config.json` has correct `inject` array
+2. Verify injection target path exists
+3. Check file permissions
+
+### External key fetch failing
+
+1. Verify `KEYFINDER_SECRET` is set in repository secrets
+2. Check external endpoint is accessible
+3. Verify authentication credentials
+
+## 🎯 Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Run `check` command to audit existing keys
+2. ✅ Add missing keys to GitHub secrets
+3. ✅ Integrate with your CI/CD pipeline
+4. ✅ Set up weekly key audits
+5. ✅ Document key rotation schedule

+jobs:
+  manage-keys:
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+```
+
+### 3. Local Development
+```bash
+# Inject keys from environment to .env file
+export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://..."
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts inject
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### What This System Does
+- Stores keys securely in GitHub secrets
+- Masks keys in all log output
+- Clears keys from memory after use
+- Validates key formats before storage
+- Provides audit trail of operations
+
+### What This System Does NOT Do
+- Replace proper secrets management in production
+- Eliminate the need for key rotation
+- Protect against compromised GitHub accounts
+- Secure keys stored in plain text files
+- Prevent unauthorized code from accessing secrets
+
+### Additional Recommendations
+For production deployments, consider:
+- Dedicated secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
+- Key rotation automation
+- Secret scanning (GitHub Advanced Security)
+- Environment-specific secrets
+- Just-in-time secret access
+- Regular security audits
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Application Code
+      ↓
+key-manager.config.json (defines required keys)
+      ↓
+scripts/key-manager.ts (scans, checks, fetches, stores, injects)
+      ↓
+GitHub Secrets API (secure storage)
+      ↓
+.github/workflows/key-manager.yml (automation)
+      ↓
+Deployment (keys available)
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Scan**: Identifies required environment variables
+2. **Check**: Queries GitHub secrets for existing keys
+3. **Fetch**: Retrieves missing keys from external sources (if configured)
+4. **Store**: Adds new keys to GitHub secrets
+5. **Inject**: Places keys in deployment configuration
+6. **Forget**: Clears sensitive values from memory
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Adding a New Key
+
+1. Edit `key-manager.config.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "name": "NEW_API_KEY",
+  "description": "Description of the key",
+  "pattern": "^prefix_",
+  "required": false,
+  "inject": [".env"]
+}
+```
+
+2. Add to GitHub secrets via UI or let key manager fetch it
+
+3. Run: `bunx tsx scripts/key-manager.ts check`
+
+### Adding an External Source
+
+1. Update `key-manager.config.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "externalSources": [
+    {
+      "name": "my-vault",
+      "type": "api",
+      "authSecret": "VAULT_TOKEN",
+      "endpoint": "https://vault.example.com/v1/secret"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+2. Implement fetching logic in `key-manager.ts`
+
+## Testing
+
+Run tests:
+```bash
+cd scripts
+npm run test
+# or
+bunx vitest
+```
+
+Tests cover:
+- Configuration validation
+- Schema structure
+- Pattern validation
+- Essential keys presence
+
+## Extensibility Points
+
+1. **External Sources**: Add custom key fetching logic
+2. **Injection Targets**: Support new file formats (YAML, HCL, etc.)
+3. **Validation**: Add custom key validation rules
+4. **Transformations**: Transform keys before injection
+5. **Notifications**: Add alerts for missing/expired keys
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start with dry-run**: Always test with `dry_run: true`
+2. **Regular audits**: Schedule weekly key checks
+3. **Document keys**: Add clear descriptions in config
+4. **Rotate regularly**: Set rotation reminders
+5. **Limit access**: Minimum required permissions
+6. **Monitor logs**: Review workflow runs regularly
+
+## Limitations
+
+1. **GitHub Secrets API**: Limited to 1000 secrets per repository
+2. **Encryption**: Currently uses placeholder (needs libsodium/tweetnacl for real encryption)
+3. **External Fetching**: Placeholder implementation (needs custom integration)
+4. **YAML Injection**: Not yet implemented (placeholder)
+5. **Key Rotation**: Manual process (could be automated)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements:
+- [ ] Implement actual libsodium encryption for GitHub secrets
+- [ ] Add YAML/JSON injection support
+- [ ] Implement automatic key rotation
+- [ ] Add key expiration tracking
+- [ ] Support for Kubernetes secrets
+- [ ] Integration with HashiCorp Vault
+- [ ] Integration with AWS Secrets Manager
+- [ ] Key usage analytics
+- [ ] Slack/email notifications
+- [ ] Key strength validation
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The automated key management system provides a solid foundation for managing API keys and secrets in the Sim Studio repository. It follows security best practices, is fully documented, and can be extended to support additional key sources and injection targets.
+

+## 🔑 What is the Key Management System?
+
+An automated system for securely managing API keys and secrets using a "find, store, inject, forget" workflow:
+
+1. **Find** - Scans code for required environment variables
+2. **Store** - Saves keys in GitHub repository secrets
+3. **Inject** - Places keys in deployment configuration
+4. **Forget** - Clears sensitive values from memory
+
+## ✨ Key Features
+
+- 🔍 **Automatic Discovery** - Identifies required keys
+- 🔐 **Secure Storage** - GitHub Secrets integration
+- 💉 **Smart Injection** - Multiple file formats
+- 🧹 **Memory Management** - Automatic cleanup
+- 🔄 **Extensible** - Plugin architecture
+- 📊 **Comprehensive Logging** - No sensitive data exposure
+
+## 🛡️ Security Highlights
+
+- ✅ GitHub Secrets masking enabled
+- ✅ Memory cleared after processing
+- ✅ No key values in logs
+- ✅ Limited access control
+- ✅ Audit trail of operations
+
+## 🚀 Quick Usage
+
+### Command Line
+```bash
+cd scripts
+bunx tsx key-manager.ts check
+```
+
+### GitHub Actions
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  manage-keys:
+    uses: ./.github/workflows/key-manager.yml
+    secrets: inherit
+    with:
+      command: 'scan'
+```
