secrets-handling-review

secrets-handling-review is a skill for Codex from jeremylongworth-source/AgentSkills. It costs 52 tokens per session (333 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for finding unsafe handling of passwords, tokens, keys, cookies, environment variables, and other credentials in agent skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify secret access and exposure paths, check redaction and storage practices, and define safer handling instructions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent secrets from being read broadly, printed in logs, stored in files, sent elsewhere, or committed to a code repository.

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

secrets-handling-review 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 8d ago.

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

Secrets Handling Review

Core Workflow

  1. Identify any credentials, tokens, keys, cookies, env vars, config files, or secret-like placeholders mentioned by the skill.
  2. Check whether the skill asks to read, print, store, transmit, log, or commit secrets.
  3. Review scripts and examples for accidental secret exposure in output, screenshots, generated files, traces, or error reports.
  4. Verify redaction, least privilege, and explicit approval expectations.
  5. Recommend removal, placeholder replacement, redaction rules, .gitignore updates, or blocked publication.
  6. Report residual risk and safe-use instructions.

Safety Rules

  • Do not reveal secret values in review output.
  • Do not commit secrets or secret-like sample values.
  • Do not approve a skill that asks for broad credential access unrelated to the task.
  • Prefer placeholders and user-managed environment setup over embedded secrets.

Deliverable Shape

For secrets reviews, provide:

  • Secret-like inputs found
  • Exposure paths
  • Redaction and storage gaps
  • Required changes
  • Safe handling instructions
  • Pass/warn/fail/block recommendation

References

  • Read references/secrets-handling-review-checklist.md when reviewing skills, scripts, examples, logs, templates, or generated files for secrets risk.
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.

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.
