I automated the last thing I still typed by hand

The last thing I was still typing by hand in an actual editor was API keys.

I'd open nano in the terminal, type out the environment variable and the key, save it, and exit. Not exactly difficult, but apparently enough friction that I started avoiding it.

So I made a Codex skill and a custom Herdr command that pop open a little masked modal instead.

I don't even type the environment variable name. The agent infers the exact name from context and passes it to the modal, so I don't have to remember whether it's `INSTANTLY_API_KEY` or something slightly different. The value stays outside the agent transcript.

This is an absurd level of laziness, but opening nano already feels like manual labor 😅
