High-risk paste list
- API keys and tokens
- Production connection strings
- Customer PII in logs
- Unreleased product strategy docs
- Internal vulnerability details without redaction
Safe developer prompting
Paste interfaces and error shapes, not secrets. Replace hostnames with examples. Ask for algorithms and tests, then apply them in your repo.
Local IDE AI vs private browser chat
Local IDE agents (like guIDE) keep more context on-device. Private browser chat like Secrypt is useful for architecture questions, writing, and discreet debugging with sanitized snippets.
Frequently asked questions

Only under company policy. Prefer private or local tools for sensitive repos.
