secrets-scanDetect API keys, passwords, tokens, and other secrets in code.
Secrets Scan is an agent skill from jwynia/agent-skills. Detect API keys, passwords, tokens, and other secrets in code. Use when you need to find hardcoded credentials and sensitive data in source code.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Amazon Web Services and Stripe. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e02ec7e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitnpxFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Secrets Scan loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Detect API keys, passwords, tokens, and other secrets in code. Secrets Scan is an agent skill from jwynia/agent-skills. Detect API keys, passwords, tokens, and other secrets in code.
Secrets Scan fits situations like: you need to find hardcoded credentials and sensitive data in source code; tasks that involve Git workflow.
Run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill secrets-scan -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tech/security/secrets-scan in jwynia/agent-skills) into .claude/skills/secrets-scan in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill secrets-scan -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tech/security/secrets-scan in jwynia/agent-skills) into .agents/skills/secrets-scan in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill secrets-scan -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/secrets-scan, .gemini/skills/secrets-scan, .github/skills/secrets-scan and .opencode/skills/secrets-scan in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Secrets Scan needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git and npx). Our summary lists: Node.js; Docker; A credential in EXAMPLE_KEY.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Secrets Scan is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Secrets Scan: Effect Client Wrapper (UsefulSoftwareCo/executor, 4.1k stars), LLM To Bedrock (aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, 2.8k stars), Audit Env Variables (qdhenry/Claude-Command-Suite, 1.3k stars) and Swe CLI Skills (SylphAI-Inc/skills, 111 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
