The minimal secretlint configuration is adequate. As an enhancement, you might consider extending the rules for more robust detection if needed. - Reason this comment was not posted:

🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
test.txt (1)
1-1: Suggest clarifying test secret file
test.txtincludes a fake AWS key to verify secretlint detection, but naming it as.env.exampleorsample.secret.txtcould clarify its purpose and follow common conventions for placeholder credentials.package.json (1)
3-4: Review version pinning and add npm script
The devDependencies are pinned with^9.3.3. Consider either locking to an exact patch release for reproducibility or scheduling regular dependency updates.
Also, adding a"scripts": { "lint:secrets": "secretlint --maskSecrets" }section would let contributors runnpm run lint:secretsalongside the Justfile recipe..secretlintignore (1)
2-5: Extend ignore patterns
You’ve excluded key dirs (.venv/,__pycache__/,node_modules/,.git/), but consider mirroring other entries from.gitignore—such asbuild/,dist/, anddocs/build/—to avoid scanning generated artifacts.Justfile (1)
150-157: Secretlint recipe implementation looks good with minor suggestions.The implementation correctly uses
npx --yesfor auto-installation and has proper error handling. However, consider these optimizations:
- The
"**/*"pattern scans all files, which might be less efficient than letting secretlint use its.secretlintignoreconfiguration.- The alias
lscould be confusing since it conflicts with the common Unixlscommand.Consider this alternative implementation:
- npx --yes secretlint "**/*" && echo "✅ Secretlint completed successfully." || (echo "❌ Secretlint found issues!" && exit 1) + npx --yes secretlint . && echo "✅ Secretlint completed successfully." || (echo "❌ Secretlint found issues!" && exit 1)And consider a more descriptive alias:
-alias ls := lint-secrets +alias lsec := lint-secrets

25-27: Approve ignoring node_modules
Adding the#other modulessection and ignoringnode_modules/is correct given the new Node.js dependencies introduced for secretlint..secretlintrc.json (1)
2-5: Approve secretlint rule configuration
Using the@secretlint/secretlint-rule-preset-recommendpreset is a solid baseline. Ensure that any project-specific rules or severity overrides are added as needed in future updates..pre-commit-config.yaml (1)
51-60: Excellent pre-commit hook configuration for secretlint.The implementation is well-designed with:
--maskSecretsflag for secure output handling- Appropriate file type targeting with regex pattern
- Proper exclusion of common non-source directories
- Correct use of
pass_filenames: truefor efficient file processingtypes: [text]ensures only text files are processedThis provides a good balance between security coverage and performance for pre-commit hooks.

Secretlint dependency check added to the check-deps recipe looks good. Consider whether missing secretlint should cause a non-zero exit (consistent with other tool checks) rather than only a warning. - Reason this comment was not posted:

1. .pre-commit-config.yaml:50
- Draft comment:
The secretlint hook configuration has been removed from the pre-commit config. The PR description specifies that secretlint should be added to the pre-commit hook. Please clarify if this removal is intentional or if the hook should be added back. - Reason this comment was not posted:
Decided after close inspection that this draft comment was likely wrong and/or not actionable: usefulness confidence = 10% vs. threshold = 50% The comment violates several rules: 1) It asks for clarification about intention ("Please clarify if...") 2) It references the PR description which we're told to ignore 3) It's asking the author to confirm something rather than pointing out a clear issue 4) We're told to assume file changes are intentional by default. Maybe the secretlint hook is a critical security feature that shouldn't be removed without replacement? While security is important, we don't have enough context to know if this is critical or if there's a replacement elsewhere. Our rules state we should assume changes are intentional and not make speculative comments. The comment should be deleted as it violates multiple rules about asking for clarification and assuming changes aren't intentional.

Feature Pull Request
Branch Naming Convention
Current branch:
feature/integrate-secretlintRelated Issue
Closes #201
Feature Description
Previously, our project lacked automated detection for secrets and credentials in the codebase. This poses a significant security risk as developers might accidentally commit sensitive information like API keys, passwords, or tokens. We need a reliable mechanism to scan for credentials in the project, report them, and prevent committing such sensitive data.
Implementation Details
Integrate secretlint into the py-launch-blueprint project with the following capabilities:
TODO:
1: Add GitHub Actions workflow for secretlint. (In a separate PR)
2: Add documentation guide. (In a separate PR)
Changes Made
Testing Performed
Pre-commit and Testing Instructions
1: Setup Instructions for Secretlint
just install-nvmsetup-nvm-pathjust install-secretlint2: Verify commands work
just lint-secretsjust pre-commit-run3: Local testing
1: Create a new test file anywhere inside the project, for example
test_secrets.py, and add the following secrets snippet.4: Run again to verify secretlint detects these secrets
5: if it detects the secret keys in the file, it's working, and that's the goal.
