Environment Variables
All secrets and authentication credentials are configured via environment variables. They are never stored in the config file.
Use this page together with the connector guides: the connector docs explain which credentials, permissions or network requirements apply to each integration.
Skippr authentication
| Variable | When | Description |
|---|---|---|
SKIPPR_API_KEY | CI/CD | Per-user API key for non-interactive authentication. See Authentication. This authenticates the runner to Skippr's cloud-backed control plane. |
SKIPPR_AUTH_URL | Optional | Override the auth service URL (default: https://auth.skippr.io) |
LLM
| Variable | When | Description |
|---|---|---|
LLM_API_KEY | Optional | Override the server-provided LLM key with your own (e.g. to use a different model or provider). When not set, the key is provided after authentication. Schema metadata is the default model input; data samples are optional and off by default. |
