Show HN: Autonoma – Python secret fixer that refuses unsafe fixes
Built this after getting frustrated with scanners that find secrets but leave fixing to you.
Autonoma fixes hardcoded secrets automatically —
but only when it's confident the fix is safe.
If it can't guarantee safety, it refuses and
tells you why.
Before:
SENDGRID_API_KEY = "SG.live-abc123xyz987"
After:
SENDGRID_API_KEY = os.getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY")
When it can't fix safely:
API_KEY = "sk-live-abc123"
→ REFUSED — could not guarantee safe replacement
Tested on a real public repo with live exposed
Azure Vision and OpenAI API keys. Fixed both.
Refused one edge case. Nothing else touched.
MIT licensed. Runs locally. No telemetry.
