Identity Guard — Multi-Account Safety Protocol
Overview
Working across multiple projects, clients, and platforms means one wrong git push or wrangler deploy can publish work to the wrong account. This skill establishes a mandatory identity check before any operation that touches external services.
CAUTION
Real incidents this skill prevents:
- Pushed client code to personal GitHub repo
- Deployed to wrong Cloudflare account (different org's Pages project, billing confusion)
- Used personal Supabase
ANON_KEYin a client project (wrong DB entirely) git config user.emailwas personal email → commits show wrong author in client repo
The Iron Law
NEVER push, deploy, or use secrets WITHOUT verifying identity first.
ASK: Which account? Which project? Which database?
ONE command verifies all three. Run it. Always.When to Use
ALWAYS before:
git pushorgit commitin a project with multiple account contextswrangler pages deployor any Cloudflare operation- Creating or accessing a Supabase/Neon client
- Setting up a new project from scratch
- Resuming work after switching between personal and work projects
Account Registry (Your Known Accounts)
Maintain this table in your head (or in .project-identity.json):
GitHub Accounts
| Account | Purpose | When to Use | |
|---|---|---|---|
my-personal | Personal projects, experiments | personal email | Personal repos, side projects |
my-work-org | Client work | dev@workdomain.com | All client projects |
Cloudflare Accounts
| Account ID | Purpose | Projects |
|---|---|---|
abc123def456ghi789jkl012mno345pqr | Client A / Org | project-1, project-2, app |
| (personal) | Personal experiments | personal side projects |
Database Accounts
| Service | Account | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase (Org) | org account | All Client A apps |
| Supabase (personal) | personal account | Experiments |
| Neon | per project | If used |
Phase 0: Project Identity File
Every project MUST have a .project-identity.json in the project root:
{
"name": "my-awesome-project",
"description": "An awesome internal tool",
"github": {
"account": "my-work-org",
"org": "my-work-org",
"repo": "my_project_repo",
"remoteUrl": "https://github.com/my-work-org/my_project_repo.git",
"userEmail": "dev@workdomain.com"
},
"cloudflare": {
"accountId": "abc123def456ghi789jkl012mno345pqr",
"projectName": "my-frontend-app",
"stagingUrl": "https://my-app-staging.pages.dev",
"productionUrl": "https://myapp.workdomain.com",
"productionBranch": "production"
},
"database": {
"provider": "supabase",
"projectName": "my-database-project",
"urlVar": "SUPABASE_URL",
"anonKeyVar": "SUPABASE_ANON_KEY",
"serviceKeyVar": "SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY",
"secretsStore": "cloudflare-secrets"
},
"i18n": {
"primary": "vi",
"languages": ["vi", "en", "th", "ph"],
"dir": "public/static/i18n"
}
}IMPORTANT
Add .project-identity.json to git but NEVER put actual secrets in it — only variable NAMES and account IDs. Secrets live in .dev.vars (local) or Cloudflare Secrets (production).
Phase 1: Identity Verification
The One-Liner Check
Run this before any push or deploy:
# Full identity check — GitHub + Git user + CF account + DB config
echo "=== GitHub CLI ===" && gh auth status 2>&1 | grep -E "Logged in|github.com" && \
echo "=== Git Remote ===" && git remote get-url origin && \
echo "=== Git User ===" && git config user.name && git config user.email && \
echo "=== Cloudflare ===" && cat wrangler.jsonc | grep -E "account_id|project|name" | head -5 && \
echo "=== DB Config ===" && cat .dev.vars 2>/dev/null | grep -E "URL|SUPABASE" | sed 's/=.*/=***/' && \
echo "=== Expected ===" && cat .project-identity.json 2>/dev/null | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print('GitHub:', d['github']['account'], '| CF:', d['cloudflare']['accountId'][:8]+'...', '| DB:', d['database']['provider'])"What to Verify (Checklist)
☐ GitHub CLI: logged in as <EXPECTED ACCOUNT>
☐ git remote origin: points to <EXPECTED REPO URL>
☐ git config user.email: matches <EXPECTED EMAIL>
☐ wrangler.jsonc: account_id matches <EXPECTED CF ACCOUNT ID>
☐ .dev.vars: SUPABASE_URL points to <EXPECTED SUPABASE PROJECT>Phase 2: Fix Wrong Identity
Wrong GitHub Account
# Check current
gh auth status
# Switch to work account
gh auth logout
gh auth login
# → Login with web browser → select my-work-org
# Fix git user for THIS repo (not global)
git config user.name "my-work-org"
git config user.email "dev@workdomain.com"
# Fix remote URL
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/my-work-org/REPO_NAME.gitWrong Cloudflare Account
# Check current CF account
wrangler whoami
# Look for account_id in wrangler.jsonc
grep account_id wrangler.jsonc
# Expected for Your Project: abc123def456ghi789jkl012mno345pqr
# Fix: update account_id in wrangler.jsoncWrong Supabase Project
# Check which Supabase URL is in .dev.vars
grep SUPABASE_URL .dev.vars
# The URL pattern reveals the project: https://<PROJECT_ID>.supabase.co
# Compare with the project in .project-identity.json
# Fix: update .dev.vars with correct values
# Then restart wrangler devWrong git author on recent commits
# See who authored the last few commits
git log --format="%h %an <%ae>" -5
# If wrong — amend last commit's author (before push only!)
git commit --amend --author="my-work-org <dev@workdomain.com>" --no-edit
# For multiple commits: rebase and re-author
git rebase -i HEAD~N # Then for each commit: edit → amend author → continuePhase 3: Project Setup (New Projects)
When starting a new project, answer these questions FIRST:
Before writing any code or creating any repo, I need to lock identity:
1. **GitHub account**: Personal (my-personal) or Work (my-work-org)?
2. **Cloudflare account**: Which account ID?
3. **Database**: Which Supabase org? New project or existing?
4. **Languages**: Single locale or multi-language from day 1?
→ If multi-language: list all target languages nowThen create .project-identity.json BEFORE the first commit:
# Lock git identity to this project immediately
git config user.name "my-work-org"
git config user.email "dev@workdomain.com"
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/my-work-org/NEW_REPO.git
# Verify before first push
git config user.email # Must match expected
git remote get-url origin # Must match expected
gh auth status # Must show correct accountPhase 4: Multi-Account Git Setup (OS Level)
Using SSH Keys per Account
# Generate separate keys for each account
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "dev@workdomain.com" -f ~/.ssh/id_my_work_org
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "personal@..." -f ~/.ssh/id_personal
# ~/.ssh/config — route by host alias
Host github-work
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_my_work_org
Host github-personal
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_personalUsing SSH, reference by alias in project:
# For work projects:
git remote set-url origin git@github-work:my-work-org/REPO.git
# For personal projects:
git remote set-url origin git@github-personal:my-personal/REPO.gitGlobal vs Local git config
# Global: personal (default for new repos)
git config --global user.name "my-personal"
git config --global user.email "personal@email.com"
# Per-repo override for work projects (run inside each work repo):
git config user.name "my-work-org"
git config user.email "dev@workdomain.com"TIP
Use includeIf in ~/.gitconfig to auto-apply work identity for repos in specific directories:
[includeIf "gitdir:~/Builder/ClientA/"]
path = ~/.gitconfig-work~/.gitconfig-work:
[user]
name = my-work-org
email = dev@workdomain.comRed Flags — Identity Confusion
❌ git push and see "Repository not found" or "Permission denied"
→ Wrong account. Run identity check.
❌ wrangler deploy succeeded but can't find it in your CF dashboard
→ Deployed to wrong CF account. Check wrangler.jsonc account_id.
❌ Authentication fails with correct password
→ `gh auth status` shows wrong account. Logout and login to correct one.
❌ Production app shows the wrong data / can't connect to DB
→ Wrong SUPABASE_URL or key. Check Cloudflare Secrets for the project.
❌ git log shows wrong author email on commits
→ git config user.email is wrong. Fix and amend before pushing.
❌ New repo was created under wrong GitHub org
→ Delete and recreate under correct org, then update remote URL.Recovery Playbook
"I pushed to the wrong GitHub repo"
# 1. Delete the push (if repo is private, remove sensitive data)
git push origin --delete <branch> # Remove the branch
# 2. If sensitive data was exposed: contact GitHub support immediately
# Also rotate any secrets that appeared in the code
# 3. Push to the correct repo:
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/CORRECT_ORG/CORRECT_REPO.git
git push origin <branch>"I deployed to the wrong Cloudflare account"
# 1. Log into correct CF account
# 2. Deploy immediately to overwrite:
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=<CORRECT_ID> wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name <CORRECT_PROJECT>
# 3. Go to WRONG account's CF dashboard and delete the project or rollback deployment"I used wrong Supabase keys in production"
# 1. Update Cloudflare Secrets with correct values:
wrangler secret put SUPABASE_URL # Enter correct URL
wrangler secret put SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY # Enter correct key
wrangler secret put SUPABASE_ANON_KEY # Enter correct key
# 2. Redeploy to pick up new secrets
npm run deploy
# 3. Rotate the accidentally exposed keys in Supabase dashboardIntegration with Other Skills

The Bottom Line
One .project-identity.json. One verification command. Every push, every deploy.
Wrong account = wasted time, broken deployments, exposed client code. The check takes 3 seconds.
This is non-negotiable.
