Find secrets that should never be in source control, then advise on remediation. Default scope: the staged diff if there is one, otherwise the working tree. Scan history or a specific path only when asked. ## What to look for - **Known credential patterns**: cloud keys (AWS `AKIA…`, GCP, Azure), provider API tokens (Stripe, GitHub `ghp_…`, Slack, OpenAI, etc.), OAuth client secrets, JWTs. - **Private keys & certs**: `-----BEGIN … PRIVATE KEY-----` blocks, `.pem` / `.p12` / keystore contents. - **Credentials in URLs/config**: connection strings and URLs with embedded passwords (`scheme://user:pass@host`), basic-auth headers. - **Generic secrets**: assignments to names like `password`, `secret`, `token`, `api_key`, `access_key`, `client_secret`, plus high-entropy strings that look like keys. - **Risky files committed by mistake**: `.env`, credential JSON, `*.key`, and their presence in history. ## Reduce false positives Distinguish real secrets from example/placeholder values (`xxxxx`, `your-key-here`, `changeme`), test fixtures, public keys, and sample docs. When genuinely unsure, label a finding "review" rather than asserting a leak, but err toward reporting over silence. ## Report and remediate For each finding give: the file and `line`, the kind of secret, and a confidence (high / review). Then recommend remediation: - **Rotate the credential immediately.** Assume anything committed (even briefly, even if later removed) is compromised. Deleting it from the latest com
