Most secret-scanning tools for Git repos have a big problem: their JSON output is often broken or hard to parse, making automation a pain. They find secrets just fine, but trying to use their output in a CI pipeline or backend service usually means wrestling with malformed data or writing custom parsers.

That’s why I built a lightweight tool in Julia that does two things right: it outputs clean, valid JSON, and it lets you define custom detection patterns via a YAML config file. No more hacking around messy outputs or hardcoded rules—just structured results that actually work in automated workflows.
