The 5-Second Security Check Every AI Coder Forgets

🚨 Last week, a Replit user lost $10K after AI-generated code exposed their AWS keys. Here's the 5-second check that would've prevented it:

git diff | grep -i "key\|secret\|password\|token"

Run this before committing ANY AI-generated code. It catches exposed API keys, passwords, and tokens that AI helpers love to accidentally include.

@RileyBrown calls this the "vibe check for vibe coding" - a must-have guardrail when moving fast with AI pair programming.

Why This Matters

AI code generators (even Claude and GPT-4) regularly leak sensitive data in comments, test files, and environment setups. One exposed key = compromised infrastructure in minutes.

How to Run This with CodeBrain

In your CodeBrain Obsidian vault, create a pre-commit hook using Claude Code CLI:

1. Say "Claude, add security check to git hooks"
2. Let Rube MCP auto-configure the check across your repos
3. Use SuperWhisper to voice-activate scans: "scan for secrets"

CodeBrain's privacy-first setup means your keys never touch the cloud - all security checks run locally through your terminal.
