Local AI Security Assistant
Inspect first. Authorize with context.
Find possible credentials scattered across project files, with priorities, locations, and reasons that give a human review a clear starting point.
About the project
As AI coding projects multiply, credentials can end up in configuration, examples, and documentation. This local extension brings directory scanning into a credential-management workspace: identify places worth reviewing, then let a person decide what they mean and what to do.
What you can do
- Scan a chosen local project and review high-priority candidates, items to check, and reference items.
- Read file locations, classification reasons, and static references within the project without displaying credential values.
- Follow scan progress and retain partial findings when stopping.
Where it stands
A local prototype. The scanning engine and its integration have been exercised with synthetic files. The updated window’s complete interaction flow still needs observation; there is no public download. A candidate does not establish that a credential is valid, in use, or exposed.
Extends sudoHG’s open-source AskKey (MIT) with local directory scanning and candidate review. The upstream credential manager is not my original work.
