Global secrets are reusable sensitive values. They are useful when multiple Gobiis or configured skills need the same credential, but they require careful scoping.

Open global secrets at `https://gobii.ai/console/secrets/`.

## When to use a global secret

Use a global secret when:

- Multiple Gobiis need the same service credential.
- An organization wants a managed credential instead of per-user copies.
- A system skill profile needs a shared value.
- You want a single place to rotate a value.

Use a Gobii-scoped secret when only one Gobii needs the credential.

## What to store

Examples:

- API keys.
- Service tokens.
- Environment-style configuration values.
- Credentials required by a specific tool or system skill profile.

Do not store secrets as ordinary files or chat messages.

## Admin checklist

- Use least-privilege credentials.
- Keep production, staging, and local credentials separate.
- Record the purpose of each secret in its name or description.
- Rotate secrets when membership or vendor access changes.
- Remove secrets that no longer have active assignments.
- Avoid granting broad secrets to experimental Gobiis.
