AI agent env vars checklist

Use AI agents to check environment variables, typed env files and deployment config before shipping app changes.

Quick answer

An env vars checklist makes the agent verify typed access, local examples, production config, secret handling and deploy notes before release.

Search new env usages, confirm they pass through the typed env module, update examples without secrets and list deployment variables in the handoff.

Never let an agent add direct process.env usage across the app or commit real secrets into tracked files.

Usually no. They should go through a typed env module so missing config fails early and consistently.
