Scans source code and Git history to identify and mitigate hardcoded secrets, API keys, and credentials.
The Secrets Detector skill empowers Claude to perform comprehensive security audits by scanning repositories for leaked credentials and sensitive data. It leverages industry-standard tools like Gitleaks and detect-secrets to identify AWS keys, GitHub tokens, and private keys within both current files and historical Git commits. By providing categorized risk reports and remediation guidance, this skill helps developers prevent credential exposure before deployment and establishes secure coding practices through pre-commit hooks and environment variable management.
