Project overview
secret-hygiene teaches Claude Code to read credentials from the environment instead of hardcoding them, then uses a zero-dependency Python scanner on directories or staged changes. It detects JWTs, PEM keys, common cloud credentials, connection strings, and high-entropy secret-like variables, with narrowly scoped ignore rules. For public or production repositories, it recommends adding gitleaks and trufflehog.
