no-secrets

A set of source-code rules for keeping secrets such as passwords, API keys, tokens, and account IDs out of a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing code, configuration, or fixtures that need runtime credentials. It covers secret stores, environment bindings, fake example values, and handling accidentally committed secrets.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of exposing credentials through code, configuration files, or test data. If a secret is committed, it requires rotation and removal from the project history.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

no-secrets scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

No secrets in source

  • Never commit API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, connection strings, or cloud account IDs (Cloudflare account/zone IDs, AWS account numbers, etc.).
  • Secrets live in a KMS / secret store and are injected at runtime — never in source, config, or fixtures. Use wrangler secret / environment bindings, not literals.
  • Keep example values fake and clearly placeholder (sk_test_xxx, <ACCOUNT_ID>).
  • If a secret is ever committed, treat it as compromised: rotate it, then scrub history.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
