Scans a codebase for environment variable usage to generate or sync .env.example, validate .env completeness against what the code actually reads, and detect leaked secrets in .env or git history. Use for "/env-setup", "update .env.example", "sync .env.example with the codebase", "check if .env has everything it needs", "is .env in .gitignore", or "scan for leaked secrets in .env". Not a full security audit (use review-security for OWASP-level scanning) and not a generic secret-rotation or…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Env Setup

Scan the codebase for environment variable usage, generate or update `.env.example`, validate `.env` completeness, and detect leaked secrets.

## Anti-hallucination guidelines

Only report variables that are actually found in the code:
1. Grep before reporting: never invent variable names, only list what grep actually returns.
2. Read `.env.example` before writing: preserve existing entries, only add/update what changed.
3. No actual secrets: `.env.example` must only contain placeholder values (e.g., `your_api_key_here`).
4. Verify `.gitignore`: actually read the file before claiming `.env` is ignored.
5. Never echo a found secret value: when Phase 6 flags a leaked secret, report the variable name and `file:line` only. Never print, quote, or write the actual value into chat output, a report file, or anywhere else: the scan's job is to locate leaks, not to create a second one.

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Scan Codebase

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mgiovani/cc-arsenal/env-setup@sha256:2c055e3fde415629

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
