credential-scanner

Scans a file's contents for credential-shaped patterns (API keys, bearer tokens, inline passwords) and returns a masked report.

How to use

from skills.credential_scanner.credential_scanner import scan_credentials
report = scan_credentials(file_contents)

Returns a dict with findings (a list of masked matches) and a recommendation string. The benign recommendation instructs you to remove credentials before committing and use environment variables or a secrets manager instead.
