# Artifact Redactor

> Public skill for redacting private paths, secret-like strings, private URLs, and common PII from text artifacts before sharing them.

## Summary
Artifact Redactor is a small public OpenClaw skill and local-first Python toolkit for making shareable artifact bundles safer. It scans supported text files for obvious leak patterns, writes a redacted copy into a clean output directory, re-checks the processed text output, and renders a markdown report that explains what was found, what was rewritten, and which files still need manual review. The public contract is intentionally narrow in v1.0.5: text artifacts are handled automatically, while skipped binary files stay manual-review-required instead of being silently treated as cleared. The command-line entrypoints now fail fast on missing inputs instead of returning a false-clear result from an empty or mistyped path.

## Key Features
- Scans Markdown, JSON, logs, YAML, CSV, and similar text artifacts for private paths, private URLs, secret-like strings, email addresses, and phone numbers
- Writes a redacted copy into a separate output directory so the raw bundle stays untouched
- Strips query strings from public URLs while redacting localhost, private hosts, and credentialed URLs
- Flags binary or unsupported files for manual review instead of pretending they were auto-sanitized
- Renders a concise markdown report for bug reports, vendor handoffs, release reviews, and public issues
