Hamza masks secrets and PII before Claude Code or Codex sends data out
Suitable-Cow2000 · reddit · 2026-07-29
A solo builder created Hamza, a local inspector that masks secrets and PII before a coding agent sends requests to Anthropic or OpenAI.
- The tool watches the final outbound request from Claude Code or Codex.
- It can detect and mask data pulled from .env files, logs, database exports, and customer files.
- The motivation is that solo builders often move fast without a security team, so sensitive data can leak into normal model requests.
The post is looking for feedback on the approach and on how well the masking works in practice.
