secret-scan-lite

To scan for accidentally committed API keys and credentials, run a lightweight regex-based scan on your repository to identify common secret patterns and unsafe environment file hygiene signals before sharing code.

Yes, the secret scanner performs hygiene checks to verify whether sensitive environment files are properly ignored in .gitignore, preventing accidental exposure of credentials during repository commits.

The best way to detect hardcoded tokens before submitting a pull request is to run a lightweight regex-based scan that checks for common secret patterns and repository hygiene issues.

Yes, limitations of regex-based secret scanning include only detecting known credential patterns and unsafe environment file signals, while maintaining strict output redaction and limiting document reads for efficiency.

Output redaction when scanning for accidentally committed secrets works by strictly masking identified tokens and credentials in the scan results, ensuring sensitive values are never exposed in the skill's output.

Yes, you can use secret-scan-lite to check for credentials without installing dependencies, as it operates as a standalone lightweight scanner requiring no external components to perform regex-based detection.
