+  <Tip>
+    When setting secret values:
+      - Use `secretName=@path/to/file` to load the secret value from a file
+      - Use `secretName=\@value` if you need the literal '@' character at the beginning of your value
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Set a secret with the value loaded from a certificate file
+    $ secrets set CERTIFICATE=@/path/to/certificate.pem
+
+    # Set a secret with the literal value "@example.com"
+    $ secrets set email="\@example.com"
