SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand, audit, and improve how secrets are stored, injected, scoped, rotated, and exposed across an unfamiliar environment without ever printing secret values.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secret estate mapping: Inventory secret backends, consumers, ownership, and injection paths across cloud secret managers, Vault, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and local files.
  • Blast-radius and access review: Identify high-value credentials, over-broad read access, missing rotation, and environment-sharing risks before making changes.
  • Leakage and safety analysis: Detect plaintext secrets in code, logs, state, history, or configs and separate safe remediation from actions that require owner coordination or incident handling.
  • Safe operational guidance: Document rotation, audit, break-glass, and leak-prevention practices so future changes can be validated without exposing values.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to summarize how this system stores, injects, rotates, and protects secrets, then list the riskiest credentials and any safe next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about secrets-management-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit Kubernetes secrets and Vault credentials without exposing plaintext values?

You can audit Kubernetes secrets and Vault credentials by mapping backends, injection paths, and access scopes to review blast radius and rotation status without ever printing secret values.

What is the best way to find plaintext credential leaks in git history and IaC state files?

Finding plaintext credential leaks in git history and IaC state involves scanning code, logs, and configs to detect exposed secrets and separating safe remediation from actions requiring owner coordination.

How do I inventory secret backends and consumers across an unfamiliar cloud environment?

Inventorying secret backends and consumers requires mapping cloud secret managers, CI/CD secrets, and Kubernetes configurations to document ownership, injection paths, and environment-sharing risks.

Can I use this to review access scope and blast radius for high-value credentials before making changes?

Yes, you can review access scope and blast radius for high-value credentials to identify over-broad read access and missing rotation policies before applying any environment modifications.

How do I document safe credential rotation guidance for CI/CD and cloud secret managers?

Documenting safe credential rotation involves generating operational guidance for CI/CD and cloud secret managers that outlines audit practices, break-glass procedures, and leak-prevention steps.

Why does my secret scanning process need to distinguish between safe remediation and incident handling?

Secret scanning must distinguish safe remediation from incident handling because high-risk leakage points in logs or git history often require owner coordination and specialized incident response procedures.
