Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
Scan a source-code tree for hardcoded credentials embedded in source files: AWS access keys, GitHub tokens, Stripe keys, Slack tokens, Anthropic API keys, OpenAI keys, JWT signing secrets, generic base64-encoded passwords, RSA / SSH private keys, and high-entropy string literals that pattern-match common credential shapes.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'scanning-for-hardcoded-secrets' ~/.claude/skills/'scanning-for-hardcoded-secrets' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
