openssl
Generate secure random strings, passwords, and cryptographic tokens using OpenSSL. Use when creating passwords, API keys, secrets, or any secure random data.
Best use case
openssl is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Generate secure random strings, passwords, and cryptographic tokens using OpenSSL. Use when creating passwords, API keys, secrets, or any secure random data.
Teams using openssl should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# OpenSSL Secure Generation Generate cryptographically secure random data using `openssl rand`. ## Password/Secret Generation ```bash # 32 random bytes as base64 (43 chars, URL-safe with tr) openssl rand -base64 32 | tr '+/' '-_' | tr -d '=' # 24 random bytes as hex (48 chars) openssl rand -hex 24 # alphanumeric password (32 chars) openssl rand -base64 48 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c 32 ``` ## Common Lengths | Use Case | Command | |----------|---------| | Password (strong) | `openssl rand -base64 24` | | API key | `openssl rand -hex 32` | | Session token | `openssl rand -base64 48` | | Short PIN (8 digits) | `openssl rand -hex 4 | xxd -r -p | od -An -tu4 | tr -d ' ' | head -c 8` | ## Notes - `-base64` outputs ~1.33x the byte count in characters - `-hex` outputs 2x the byte count in characters - Pipe through `tr -dc` to filter character sets - Always use at least 16 bytes (128 bits) for secrets
