Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/transilienceai/communitytools --skill protect-with-password- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads protect-with-password automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Protect With Password
Mint a single strong password and password-protect every referenced file with it, "accordingly" per file type. Deterministic, non-destructive (originals are never touched), AES-256 or nothing.
Run it
python3 tools/protect_with_password.py FILE [FILE ...] \
[--password PW] [--length 24] [--out-dir DIR] \
[--password-file PATH | --no-password-file]
- Pass every file the user referenced as positional arguments.
- By default a strong password is generated (
--passwordoverrides to reuse one). - Protected copies are written alongside each input, or into
--out-dir. - The tool prints a JSON summary on stdout and a password banner on stderr, and (unless
--no-password-file) writes the password to a chmod-600PROTECT-PASSWORD.txt.
How each type is protected
| File | Protection | Result |
|---|---|---|
.pdf | Native AES-256 (qpdf → pypdf fallback) | <name>-protected.pdf — recipient is prompted for the password on open |
.docx/.xlsx/.pptx, .doc/.xls/.ppt, images, anything else | AES-256 7-Zip archive (-mhe=on, filenames encrypted) | <name>.7z — recipient extracts with the password (7-Zip / Keka / WinRAR) |
Native in-file Office (MS-OFFCRYPTO "agile") encryption needs LibreOffice or a dedicated encryptor that is not bundled here, so Office files are wrapped in a strong AES-256 archive instead. If no AES-256 tool is available for a file, it is reported as a failure — never downgraded to weak ZipCrypto/RC4 (no false assurance).
After running
Relay the password to the user and remind them to share it OUT-OF-BAND — never in the same channel/email as the protected files — and to delete PROTECT-PASSWORD.txt once handed over. Exit code is 0 only if every file was protected; 1 if any failed (check results[].reason).
Related: tools/protect_deliverable.py does the engagement-wide variant (one protected PDF + an AES-256 deliverable zip); this skill protects an arbitrary set of individual files.
