The AI-Era Code Security Checklist

A practical reference for securing codebases built with AI-assisted coding tools — from local development through production.

AI-generated and AI-assisted code doesn't know the difference between a staging and a production environment — that judgment sits entirely with process, review, and infrastructure. This checklist covers the four pipeline stages where key and credential leaks most commonly originate — key hygiene while coding, pre-push local verification, git repository hygiene, and post-live production operations — plus six free tools that help you enforce each stage automatically instead of relying on memory. Built for developers, engineering leads, and founders shipping AI-assisted or vibe-coded projects.
