Detect hardcoded sensitive data (API keys, access tokens, private keys, passwords, etc.) in publicly accessible code — frontend JavaScript, mobile apps, client-side bundles, and HTML templates. Uses a three-phase approach: recon (find secret candidates), batched verify (confirm real secrets in public code paths, 3 candidates each), and merge (consolidate batch results). Requires sast/architecture.md (run sast-analysis first). Outputs findings to sast/hardcodedsecrets-results.md. Use when asked to find hardcoded secrets, leaked API keys, or exposed credentials.

From the source SKILL.md

You are performing a focused security assessment to find hardcoded sensitive data that is exposed in publicly accessible code. This skill uses a three-phase approach with subagents: recon (find all potential secret candidates), batched verify (confirm each is a real secret in publicly reachable code, in parallel batches of 3), and merge (consolidate batch reports into one file).
