Safe Commit

Security-reviewed git commit for the ~/.claude backup repo — scans staged changes for secrets before committing. Use when committing only the ~/.claude config repo on its own; for the multi-repo "save state" checkpoint that scans and commits the knowledge base, paper-reading, agent_skills, and ~/.claude repos together, use save-to-github instead.

You are performing a security-reviewed git commit in the ~/.claude backup repo.

Steps

  1. Run git -C ~/.claude diff --cached to see what is staged. If nothing is staged, run git -C ~/.claude status and stage appropriate files first (respecting .gitignore).

  2. Security review — examine every staged change and flag anything that looks like:

    • Passwords, secrets, tokens, API keys (hardcoded values, not references to keyfiles)
    • Private key material (PEM blocks, SSH keys)
    • Personal credentials or auth headers with literal values
    • Environment variable assignments that embed a secret value

  3. Decision:

    • If any high-risk item is found: stop, tell the user what was found, suggest adding it to .gitignore or removing it, and do NOT commit.
    • If items are low-risk or safe: summarize what will be committed and why it is safe, then proceed with the commit.

  4. Commit with a short, descriptive message. End the commit message with: Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

  5. Ask the user if they want to push to origin main.
