## Description

Store secret values without making ordinary formatting or references disclose them.

## Where it fits

Secrets are useful on their own when an application needs opaque references, redaction-safe values, and a replaceable secret store. Within Looprig, [Credentials](/docs/modules/credentials.md), [Inference](/docs/modules/inference.md), and [LLM](/docs/modules/llm.md) pass references instead of copying secret material into model configuration. Secrets protect representation and lookup boundaries; callers still control authorization and rotation policy.

## Dependencies

None.
