Three hard truths before you scan anything

2.76M pages contain exposed credentials, 63% of keys are reused, and 1,500+ Mailchimp keys are hardcoded in JS — the model you use may be trained on leaked secrets.
GitHub · Secrets exposure thread
I pushed my API key to a public repo by accident. GitHub is not a safe — search engines index it faster than your boss reads it. Reset first, regret later.
Reddit · API key confession
444 iOS apps with LLM integrations were analyzed: 63.5% exposed exploitable API credentials in network traffic, and only 28% fixed it three months after responsible disclosure.

Real voices scattered across Reddit / Hacker News / X / dev forums — stitched together, this is what people go through when doing "GitHub repository security self-check".

FAQ

Q: I already pushed my key to GitHub. What now?
A: Reset the key at the provider immediately — leaked keys get scraped within seconds, so resetting beats deleting. Clean remote history afterwards if needed, then run credential-scanner across the repo to catch any second hardcoded copy.
Q: Do these skills modify my code?
A: No. They run in report-only mode: severity-graded findings and fix suggestions. You decide what to change.
Q: Can they scan git history for deleted keys?
A: secrets-audit checks git history and deleted files. If a key ever reached remote history, reset it first, then clean history with git filter-repo if necessary.
Q: Are they free?
A: Yes. All skills on the MEYO community are free; uninstall anytime. If you need install help, the Deep Skill Finder Discord community has you covered.
Q: I can't write regex. Can I add custom rules?
A: credential-scanner ships 40+ built-in key patterns covering AWS, GitHub, OpenAI and other major providers; ask your agent to append rules on top of the report for custom needs.
Q: Is this redundant with GitHub Secret Scanning?
A: They complement each other: platform-side scanning alerts after the fact, while local skills block leaks before commit and cover custom token formats GitHub doesn't know.
