Conciseness

Substantive and accurate, but the public-vs-backend distinction is restated across the conceptual sections, the Phase 2 subagent prompt, and Important Reminders; tightening this repetition would reclaim tokens without losing clarity.

Actionability

Fully executable: exact regex patterns, variable-name patterns, batch procedure, classification labels, and complete markdown output templates with remediation and verification guidance.

Workflow Clarity

Three phases are clearly sequenced with an explicit validation checkpoint (skip Phase 2/3 on zero candidates), parallel batching rules with batch-size guidance, and a merge step gated on all batches completing.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-sectioned but entirely monolithic — no bundle files exist and the regex pattern tables and framework frontend/backend rules are inlined rather than split into one-level references.

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — detect hardcoded sensitive data across named surfaces, a three-phase recon/verify/merge pipeline, and output to a specific results file — with comprehensive coverage of capability.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (detect/verify/merge hardcoded secrets in public code, outputs to a named file, requires architecture.md) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause).

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when asked to find hardcoded secrets, leaked API keys, or exposed credentials' clause supplies exactly the natural phrases a user would say, with useful synonyms.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Narrows to hardcoded secrets in publicly accessible code with distinct trigger phrases, clearly distinguishing it from general SAST or backend secret-scanning skills.
