About this skill
What it does
The secrets-scanner skill identifies and flags potentially sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, or other credentials, within text. It helps prevent accidental exposure of confidential data by highlighting these elements for review. The scanner is designed to be integrated into workflows where code or configuration files are being processed.
When to use it
- Code Review: Scan newly written or modified code repositories for accidentally committed secrets.
- Configuration File Analysis: Check configuration files (e.g.,
.env,config.yaml) before deployment to ensure no credentials are present. - Documentation Review: Examine documentation and internal notes for unintentional inclusion of sensitive information.
- Incident Response: Quickly scan logs or other data sources following a potential security breach to identify compromised secrets.
