You can generate passphrase-less ssh keys. It would probably be wise to set up some some sort of authentication for the device that holds your private key(s), but you do log on to your machine in order to start working, don't you? I find the rest of the message a bit hard to follow, but I suspect you may be unaware that features functionally very close to what you describe actually exist, and are documented in the man pages for the software you mention in this last message. (And not top-posting would help follow the discussion a lot - a rant about that and a couple of other things can be had at[1] for those in need).
