View prompt
Audit this repo for secrets before I make it public. Scan the full git history (not just current files), including hidden folders like .claude/, .cursor/ and .vscode/, plus .env files and CI configs. List every credential with file, commit and type, then tell me which to rotate and what to add to .gitignore.
