Never Paste Passwords, Keys, or PII (Zero-Secrets Hygiene) (AI Skill)

Overview

Pasting real database passwords, production API keys (sk-proj-..., AKIA...), SSH private keys, credit cards, or customer Personally Identifiable Information (PII) into an AI chat creates immediate, catastrophic security exposure.

Chat logs can be accessed by human data annotators during model training, stored in unencrypted browser caches, exposed via shared workspace links, or compromised in third-party API breaches.

The Zero-Secrets Hygiene Protocol establishes strict rules and automated dummy placeholder habits to keep your credentials 100% secure.
