AI Code Security and Privacy Check Tool Releases v0.2.0
Understand this story
ankush1982 releases ai-secure-by-design v0.2.0, changing security and privacy checks for AI-generated code from prompts to a deterministic engine, so that Claude, GPT, Gemini, and manual CLI runs get the same results, and it can run in editors, git hooks, and CI. The tool has not yet been published to the npm registry; without Node.js, the fallback hook script only covers secret checks. Setting --fail-on to critical or none, or running git commit --no-verify, disables local blocking, so the author recommends keeping the GitHub Action as a required check. The author says the tool still awaits real-world validation, and the DPDP-related scaffolding has not undergone legal review.

- Hacker News AIDeterministic security and privacy checks for code from AI assistants
Secure & Private by Design is an open-source tool that runs deterministic, rule-based security and privacy checks on code written by AI assistants, enforcing the same findings across Claude, GPT, Gemini and human CLI users via editor hooks, git hooks, CI and an MCP server. It detects secrets, Indian PII (Aadhaar, PAN, mobile, email), PHI schema fields, unclassified personal data and missing audit or AI decision logging, and deploys editable scaffolds for consent, data rights, retention, breach notification, RBAC and audit logging. Everything runs locally with no telemetry, and the project states it is not a compliance certification or legal advice.
