| description | Runtime redaction tools — safe-read strips secrets and |
Runtime redaction tools for reading protected files and managing their metadata.
Read a file with inline #tlp/red sections stripped and secrets redacted:
Modules/forge-tlp/bin/safe-read "/path/to/file.md"
RED files are refused entirely — safe-read only handles AMBER and below.
safe-read automatically scans for known API key and credential patterns (sourced from gitleaks) and replaces them with [SECRET REDACTED]. A warning is emitted to stderr when secrets are found.
Coverage includes 45+ services:
| Category | Services |
|---|---|
| AI/ML | Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter |
| Cloud | AWS, GCP, Azure |
| Code hosting | GitHub, GitLab |
| Communication | Slack, Twilio, SendGrid, Mailchimp |
| Payments | Stripe |
| Package registries | npm |
| Databases | MongoDB connection strings |
| Crypto | PEM private keys, JWTs |
Patterns are compiled into a single regex from src/redact/mod.rs. They match token formats (prefix + length + character set), not secret values — so they work without a secrets database.
safe-read processes two kinds of redaction:
#tlp/red block and inline sections (see /TLP skill for marker syntax)[SECRET REDACTED]Both run in a single pass. TLP redaction runs first, then secret scanning on the remaining content.
Bulk YAML frontmatter operations without reading file content. Useful for managing tlp: fields across files:
# Set a key on all .md files in a directory
Modules/forge-tlp/bin/blind-metadata set <directory> <key> <value>
# Get a key from all .md files
Modules/forge-tlp/bin/blind-metadata get <directory> <key>
# List files missing a key
Modules/forge-tlp/bin/blind-metadata has <directory> <key>
Supports absolute paths and vault-relative paths (walks up to find .tlp root).
# Classify a directory as RED
blind-metadata set Resources/Contacts tlp RED
# Audit which files have TLP frontmatter
blind-metadata has Resources/Journals tlp
# Read TLP values without opening the files
blind-metadata get Resources/Journals tlp
