SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams identify, read, and audit configuration files across a codebase, revealing environment variables, dependencies, and potential secrets without exposing sensitive data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory and inspect common config sources (env files, JSON/YAML, Dockerfiles, and service manifests) to understand what the project depends on.
  • Detect risky patterns like hardcoded secrets, missing defaults, and inconsistent configuration across environments.
  • Map external services, required environment variables, and port mappings to support secure deployments and audits.

Quick Start

Run the guided investigation on your project to identify and audit configuration files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit project configuration files for hardcoded secrets and environment variables?

You can audit project configuration files by scanning env files, JSON, YAML, and Dockerfiles to detect hardcoded secrets and map environment variables. This guided investigation produces a structured report detailing variables, services, ports, and identified configuration issues.

What is the best way to inventory environment variables and dependencies across a multi-language codebase?

Inventorying environment variables and dependencies involves scanning common config sources across multi-language codebases, including Dockerfiles and CI/CD pipelines. This maps external services, required environment variables, and port mappings to support secure deployments and audits.

Can I use this configuration audit approach for projects with Docker and CI/CD pipelines?

Yes, this configuration audit approach works for projects with Docker, cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines. It guides engineers through discovery, risk assessment, and remediation across multi-language codebases by inspecting service manifests and identifying risky patterns like missing defaults.

How do I check for risky patterns like missing defaults and hardcoded values in YAML and JSON configs?

To check for risky patterns in YAML and JSON configs, scan the files to detect hardcoded values, missing defaults, and inconsistent configurations across environments. The audit reveals these issues without exposing sensitive data, mapping them in a structured report for remediation.

What does a configuration file audit report include?

A configuration file audit report includes a mapping of environment variables, external services, port mappings, and identified issues. It details risky patterns like hardcoded secrets and missing defaults, providing a structured overview to support secure deployments and remediation.
