API Credential	API_CREDENTIAL	API keys, access tokens, service credentials
Secure Note	SECURE_NOTE	Text notes, recovery codes, configurations

Workflow

Phase 1: Context Assessment

Step 1: Understand the Request

Determine what the user wants to create:

1. Identify the item type:

   • Login: Has username/password for a website or service
   • Password: Standalone password without login context
   • API Credential: API key, token, or service credential
   • Secure Note: Text information to store securely

2. Gather required information:

   • Title for the item (required)
   • Target vault (optional, uses default if not specified)
   • Field values based on item type

3. Check for special requirements:

   • Should password be auto-generated?
   • Are there tags to apply?
   • Any custom sections needed?

See Item Templates Reference for field requirements per type.

Phase 2: Secret Creation

Step 2: Gather Field Values

Based on the item type, collect the necessary field values:

Login:

• username: Account username or email
• password: Account password (or use --generate-password)
• url: Website URL (via --url flag)

Password:

• password: The password value (or use --generate-password)

API Credential:

• credential: The API key or secret
• username: Optional key identifier

Secure Note:

• notesPlain: The note content

Step 3: Execute Create Command

Build and execute the appropriate op item create command.

See op CLI Create Command Reference for complete syntax.

Basic pattern:

op item create --category <CATEGORY> \
  --title "<title>" \
  [--vault "<vault>"] \
  [field assignments...] \
  --format json

With generated password:

op item create --category Login \
  --title "<title>" \
  --generate-password=24 \
  username=<user> \
  --format json

Step 4: Confirm Creation

1. Parse JSON response to extract item details
2. Verify creation by checking for item ID in response
3. Present confirmation to user:
   • Item title and ID
   • Vault location
   • Generated password (if applicable)

Step 5: Handle Errors

Common errors and resolutions:

Error	Resolution
vault not found	List vaults with op vault list, verify name
already exists	Use different title or update existing item
invalid category	Use valid category: Login, Password, "API Credential", "Secure Note"
missing required field	Provide required fields for the category
