Scan every git commit for secrets and injection flaws

Tools

Claude Code, Claude

Overview

A free tool runs 11 Claude Code CLI agents on each commit to catch secrets, injection flaws, and bad migrations before code lands.

Workflow

Suggested implementation: Integrate Manta, a local git workflow tool, to hook into each commit and automatically run 11 Claude Code CLI agents before code reaches the repository. These agents scan for hardcoded secrets, OWASP-style vulnerabilities (injection, XSS), code quality issues, async/query problems, and unsafe database migrations. Human developers must review blocked commits, fix identified issues, or adjust scanning rules based on the agent outputs.

Reported result

Actual outcomes are unknown as the source returned an HTTP 403 error and no execution evidence is available. Proposed measurable acceptance check: Verify that dangerous commits are blocked before landing and measure the average time added per commit to ensure it remains within acceptable limits (e.g., under 5 seconds).

Human role

Source evidence is unavailable regarding specific human roles or manual review steps.

Limitations

Prerequisites include installing Claude Code CLI and configuring pre-commit hooks. The main constraint is that pre-commit hooks add a few seconds of latency per commit. Source reliability is low due to the 403 error; verify tool availability and compatibility with your specific Claude tier (e.g., free tier with Claude Sonnet) before adoption.

Try it

I want to pilot Manta on a non-critical branch of my [replaceable: project name] repository. First, install Claude Code CLI and configure the Manta pre-commit hooks. Then, create a test commit containing a hardcoded secret and a potential SQL injection vulnerability. Run the commit and capture the output from the 11 agents. Verify that the commit is blocked and that the agents correctly identify the secret and injection flaw. Measure the time taken for the scan. If the scan time exceeds [replaceable: max acceptable seconds, e.g., 5] or if false positives are unmanageable, adjust the configuration. Do not push to the main branch until I confirm the results. Provide a report listing detected issues, scan duration, and any errors encountered.
