Secrets Scan
<phase name="1-setup">
Phase 1: Setup
EXECUTE using Bash tool:
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null || { echo "ERROR: Not git repo"; exit 1; }
REPO=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) && cd "$REPO"
TS=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
DIR="$REPO/.claude/reports/${TS}_secrets-scan" && mkdir -p "$DIR"
git ls-files > "$DIR/files.txt"
echo "DIR=$DIR|REPO=$REPO|TS=$TS|TOTAL=$(wc -l < "$DIR/files.txt" | tr -d ' ')"
cat "$DIR/files.txt"
STOP if ERROR — must run in git repository.
</phase>
<phase name="2-parallel-scan">
Phase 2: Split & Launch 10 Agents
- Parse file list → split into 10 chunks (
ceil(total/10)) - Send 10 Task calls in parallel (single message)
Config: Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", model="haiku", description="Agent N/10 scan")
<agent-prompt> Agent {N}/10 secrets scanner.
FILES: {FILES}
Read each file → detect secrets → return JSON.
PATTERNS: | Category | Match | |----------|-------| | Passwords | password/passwd/secret/pwd + = or : | | API Keys | api_key, access_key, apikey, api_secret | | Tokens | token, bearer, auth_token, access_token | | AWS | AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}, aws_secret, aws_access_key | | DB URLs | jdbc/mongodb/mysql/postgres with credentials | | Keys | -----BEGIN.*PRIVATE KEY-----, client_secret, encryption_key |
CRITICALITY: | Level | Criteria | |-------|----------| | CRITICAL | Real credentials, private keys, DB connection strings | | HIGH | Real API keys/tokens, AWS creds | | MEDIUM | Suspicious hardcoded values | | LOW | Placeholders: changeme, YOUR_KEY, xxx, dummy |
SKIP: env refs (process.env.*, ${VAR}, os.getenv()), placeholders, docs/comments.
OUTPUT (JSON):
{"agent":{N},"scanned":["f1","f2"],"skipped":[{"path":"x","reason":"binary"}],"findings":[{"path":"f","line":1,"content":"pwd=x","desc":"Hardcoded pwd","crit":"HIGH"}]}
No findings: "findings":[] </agent-prompt>
</phase>
<phase name="3-merge">
Phase 3: Merge Results
- Collect 10 JSON responses
- Parse each (handle errors gracefully)
- Merge
scanned[],skipped[],findings[] - Dedupe by
path+line - Sort: CRITICAL → HIGH → MEDIUM → LOW
