The bang (!) indicates that the password is a “secret” value
How about using a question mark instead?
Anyway, the flow of the typical use case is not leaping out at me. I read the text, but didn't watch the video. I don't use a standalone password manager, so maybe my lack of knowing the pain points of those is skewing my ability to bite on the sales pitch here.
It sounds like an attempt to unify command line based private key storage (like ssh-agent and ssh-add) and browser-based password storage. I don't see anything wrong with it in principle, but the...
It sounds like an attempt to unify command line based private key storage (like ssh-agent and ssh-add) and browser-based password storage.
I don't see anything wrong with it in principle, but the question is whether it can become a trusted solution. It hasn't been audited yet and it's written in an experimental programming language. This is security-sensitive software if anything is, so I'd want to see a trusted organization maintain it before looking into it further.
(In general, though, it's good to see DeVault spending his time writing interesting code.)

I think it's a marked improvement to the current status quo for desktop secrets, of which I see two main implementation types:
Exchanging via the clipboard or browser extension
Access to every secret on the system via a wallet-like system
Having it granular like that means NetworkManager could have access to wifi passwords while not having access to website passwords.
This is apparently used for an optional key, like a comment. Personally I think the exclamation point conveys importance and caution well enough while being simple. Maybe you could put it before...

I really love iCloud's password storage feature, but the major problem is that it's closed and doesn't work outside of Apple products.
