What problem does it solve?
Leaked credentials and mismanaged secrets present an active security risk; this skill helps you detect, prevent, and remediate secrets across codebases, configs, and CI/CD pipelines, while teaching best practices for safe secret handling.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Secret scanning and classification: identifies hardcoded keys, tokens, and credentials and suggests corrective actions.
- Pre-commit protection: enforces secret checks before commits with a reusable hook.
- Remediation runbooks: guides revocation, history scrub, and rotation using references like leak-remediation.md and rotation-runbook.md.
- ** vault/KMS integration and best practices**: outlines how to store and rotate credentials securely with dynamic secrets and workload identities.
Quick Start
Install secrets-manager in your project and run the built-in scanner to detect leaks, then apply the runbooks to remediate and rotate credentials.
