What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams discover, remediate, and harden exposed secrets across codebases, git history, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment environments to prevent credential compromise and unauthorized access.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Leak Detection: Scan the working tree and full git history for hardcoded credentials and sensitive environment files.
- Remediation & Rotation: Revoke and rotate compromised credentials, migrate secrets into a secrets manager or Vault, and verify rollovers.
- Prevention & Auditing: Install pre-commit secret scanning, enforce .env handling best practices, scrub git history when necessary, and generate access and exposure audit reports.
- Use Case: During a security audit, automatically find a leaked API key, revoke it, rotate to a new secret stored in AWS Secrets Manager or Vault, update the application to use the new secret, and record the incident in a secrets audit log.
Quick Start
Scan the repository and git history for exposed credentials, revoke and rotate any verified leaks into a secret manager, install a gitleaks pre-commit hook if missing, and produce a secrets audit report.
