Mandu: Keeping your secrets from your AI coding agent
Coding agents like Claude Code and Codex read your .env, your SSH keys, your cloud logins, and your documents while they work. Once a secret is read, it rides along in every request to the AI provider, and an agent that holds a key can send it to any server a command names. Today I want to introduce Mandu (GitHub), an open-source tool that lets your agent work next to your real secrets while the AI only ever sees masked placeholders.
