Lets coding agents read files with secrets while redacting values from the LLM
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
If coding agents run in your repo, monkeys lets them use API keys through a redacted runner without ever reading the values themselves.
monkeys is an MIT command-line tool, written in Swift, that splits a project's secrets in two. A small .monkeys file listing key names goes into git; the values sit in the macOS Keychain or Linux Secret Service. A person types each value once, and `monkeys run` injects it into a single command, redacting it from output and refusing to start if a key is missing. `monkeys pack` seals a passphrase-locked bundle for a teammate, and a plugin teaches Claude Code and Codex to use it.
