Security and privacy in AI-assisted coding

Keep code and data safe.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Don't paste secrets, customer data or proprietary code into unapproved tools.
  2. Review AI code for injection, auth and permission flaws.
  3. Use environment variables and secret managers.
  4. Check licences of generated or suggested code.
  5. Agents running commands should have limited permissions and approvals.
💡 Real-life example: Letting an AI agent work in your project is giving a guest a key: choose which rooms it can enter.
