config-secrets-audit

config-secrets-audit is a skill for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 80 tokens per session (566 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository scan for likely secrets in configuration and infrastructure files. It checks places such as environment files, YAML, GitHub Actions, Bicep, Terraform, and Azure Key Vault references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect hardcoded secrets and risky configuration patterns, review findings by severity, add exclusions or custom patterns, and generate SARIF reports.
Why use it?
It helps find credentials, connection strings, and other sensitive values that may have been exposed in source-controlled configuration. Findings can be classified by severity and exported for code-scanning systems.

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

config-secrets-audit 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/audit-config-secrets.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Config Secrets Audit Skill

Use this skill to identify likely secrets exposure in configuration surfaces and produce CI-ingestable findings.

Core Coverage

  1. Azure Key Vault reference usage checks
  2. Hardcoded connection string detection
  3. GitHub Actions workflow env: secret exposure checks
  4. Base64-like secret token detection
  5. YAML and .env configuration scanning
  6. Bicep/Terraform parameter secret checks
  7. Severity classification (critical, high, medium, low)
  8. SARIF output for code-scanning ingestion
  9. Exclusion and custom-regex extensibility
  10. Summary report grouped by category and severity

Scripts

Script Purpose
scripts/audit-config-secrets.ps1 Runs pattern-based config secret scanning and optionally emits SARIF
  1. Run scanner in repo root and review summary findings.
  2. Triage by severity:
    • critical: direct credential material or production secret literals
    • high: probable secret exposure in workflows or config
    • medium: risky patterns needing review
    • low: informational or potentially safe references
  3. Re-run with exclusions for known-safe patterns.
  4. Export SARIF and upload to code scanning in CI.

Example Commands

pwsh skills/config-secrets-audit/scripts/audit-config-secrets.ps1 -RootPath . -SarifPath .\artifacts\config-secrets.sarif
pwsh skills/config-secrets-audit/scripts/audit-config-secrets.ps1 -RootPath . -ExclusionFile .\config\secret-audit-exclusions.txt
pwsh skills/config-secrets-audit/scripts/audit-config-secrets.ps1 -RootPath . -CustomPatternFile .\config\secret-patterns.json

Integration Notes

  • For Azure policy and compliance rollups, forward SARIF + summary output into your policy reporting pipeline.
  • Use with github-security-posture, security-analyst, or devops-audit for remediation planning.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

config-secrets-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository ivegamsft/basecoat (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 566 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
