Security Best Practices
API Key Management
# Use environment variables
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
# Use key manager
claude config set api-key --from-keychain
# Use .env file (don't commit to version control)
echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key" > .env
Access Control
{
"security": {
"allowed_commands": ["generate", "review", "docs"],
"blocked_paths": ["secrets/", "config/"],
"max_file_size": "10MB",
"scan_for_secrets": true
}
}
