Context

Spawned agents have read access to the entire repository, including .env files containing live credentials. If an agent reads secrets and writes them to .squad/ files (decisions, logs, history), Scribe auto-commits them to git, exposing them in remote history. This skill codifies absolute prohibitions and safe alternatives.

Patterns

Prohibited File Reads

NEVER read these files:

.env (production secrets)
.env.local (local dev secrets)
.env.production (production environment)
.env.development (development environment)
.env.staging (staging environment)
.env.test (test environment with real credentials)
Any file matching .env.* UNLESS explicitly allowed (see below)

Allowed alternatives:

.env.example (safe — contains placeholder values, no real secrets)
.env.sample (safe — documentation template)
.env.template (safe — schema/structure reference)

If you need config info:

Ask the user directly — "What's the database connection string?"
Read .env.example — shows structure without exposing secrets
Read documentation — check README.md, docs/, config guides

NEVER assume you can "just peek at .env to understand the schema." Use .env.example or ask.

Prohibited Output Patterns

NEVER write these to .squad/ files:

Pattern Type	Examples	Regex Pattern (for scanning)
API Keys	`OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-...`, `GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...`	`[A-Z_]+(?:KEY
Passwords	`DB_PASSWORD=super_secret_123`, `password: "..."`	`(?:PASSWORD
Connection Strings	`postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db`, `Server=...;Password=...`	`(?:postgres
JWT Tokens	`eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...`	`eyJ[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.eyJ[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+`
Private Keys	`-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----`, `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----`	`-----BEGIN [A-Z ]+PRIVATE KEY-----`
