scanning-for-secrets
Detect exposed secrets, API keys, and credentials in code. Use when auditing for secret leaks. Trigger with 'scan for secrets', 'find exposed keys', or 'check credentials'.
What this skill does
# Secret Scanner
Detect exposed API keys, passwords, tokens, and private keys in source code using pattern matching and entropy analysis, with remediation guidance for each finding.
## Overview
scan your codebase for exposed secrets, API keys, passwords, and other sensitive credentials. It helps you identify and remediate potential security vulnerabilities before they are committed or deployed.
## How It Works
1. **Initiate Scan**: Claude activates the `secret-scanner` plugin.
2. **Codebase Analysis**: The plugin scans the codebase using pattern matching and entropy analysis.
3. **Report Generation**: A detailed report is generated, highlighting identified secrets, their locations, and suggested remediation steps.
## When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Scan your codebase for exposed API keys (e.g., AWS, Google, Azure).
- Check for hardcoded passwords in configuration files.
- Identify potential private keys (SSH, PGP) accidentally committed to the repository.
- Proactively find secrets before committing changes.
## Examples
### Example 1: Identifying Exposed AWS Keys
User request: "Scan for AWS keys in the codebase"
The skill will:
1. Activate the `secret-scanner` plugin.
2. Scan the codebase for patterns matching AWS Access Keys (AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}).
3. Generate a report listing any found keys, their file locations, and remediation steps (e.g., revoking the key).
### Example 2: Checking for Hardcoded Passwords
User request: "Check for exposed credentials in config files"
The skill will:
1. Activate the `secret-scanner` plugin.
2. Scan configuration files (e.g., `database.yml`, `.env`) for password patterns.
3. Generate a report detailing any found passwords and suggesting the use of environment variables.
## Best Practices
- **Regular Scanning**: Schedule regular scans to catch newly introduced secrets.
- **Pre-Commit Hooks**: Integrate the `secret-scanner` into your pre-commit hooks to prevent committing secrets.
- **Review Entropy Analysis**: Carefully review results from entropy analysis, as they may indicate potential secrets not caught by pattern matching.
## Integration
This skill can be integrated with other security tools, such as vulnerability scanners, to provide a comprehensive security assessment of your codebase. It can also be combined with notification plugins to alert you when new secrets are detected.
## Prerequisites
- Access to codebase and configuration files in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/
- Security scanning tools installed as needed
- Understanding of security standards and best practices
- Permissions for security analysis operations
## Instructions
1. Identify security scan scope and targets
2. Configure scanning parameters and thresholds
3. Execute security analysis systematically
4. Analyze findings for vulnerabilities and compliance gaps
5. Prioritize issues by severity and impact
6. Generate detailed security report with remediation steps
## Output
- Security scan results with vulnerability details
- Compliance status reports by standard
- Prioritized list of security issues by severity
- Remediation recommendations with code examples
- Executive summary for stakeholders
## Error Handling
If security scanning fails:
- Verify tool installation and configuration
- Check file and directory permissions
- Validate scan target paths
- Review tool-specific error messages
- Ensure network access for dependency checks
## Resources
- Security standard documentation (OWASP, CWE, CVE)
- Compliance framework guidelines (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
- Security scanning tool documentation
- Vulnerability remediation best practices

jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
alibabacloud-data-agent-skill
IncludedInvoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
