## When to Use This Skill

Use **Secret Scanner** when you need to:

- Work with secret scanner tasks in your project or workflow
- Automate secret scanner operations at scale
- Generate production-quality secret scanner output quickly

## Instructions

When this skill is active, Claude will:

1. Understand the full context of your secret scanner request
2. Apply best practices and conventions for Security
3. Produce clean, well-structured, production-ready output
4. Explain key decisions and offer alternatives where relevant

## Examples

### Example 1 — Basic Usage

**User:** Help me get started with secret scanner.

**Claude:** I'll walk you through the essential steps for secret scanner in your context...

### Example 2 — Advanced Usage

**User:** I need a production-ready secret scanner setup with full error handling.

**Claude:** Here's a complete, production-hardened secret scanner implementation...

## Guidelines

- Always validate inputs before processing
- Follow the conventions of the target platform or language
- Prefer explicit over implicit — clarity beats cleverness
