tokenize

Shows what your code looks like after secrets are replaced with tokens. Useful for previewing before you copy-paste to AI manually.

​
Usage

takumo-aegis tokenize <file> [options]

​
Example

Input file (config.ts): 
// Example values - never use real credentials
export const config = {
  database: {
    url: "postgres://admin:examplepass@db.internal:5432/myapp",
    poolSize: 10
  },
  stripe: {
    secretKey: "sk_test_EXAMPLEKEY123456",
    webhookSecret: "whsec_EXAMPLEHOOK123"
  }
};
Command: 
takumo-aegis tokenize ./config.ts
Output: 
Tokenized 3 secrets:

  DATABASE_URL    →  __TAKUMO_v1_CONN_a1b2c3d4__
  STRIPE_KEY      →  __TAKUMO_v1_KEY_e5f6g7h8__
  WEBHOOK_SECRET  →  __TAKUMO_v1_SECRET_i9j0k1l2__

---

export const config = {
  database: {
    url: "__TAKUMO_v1_CONN_a1b2c3d4__",
    poolSize: 10
  },
  stripe: {
    secretKey: "__TAKUMO_v1_KEY_e5f6g7h8__",
    webhookSecret: "__TAKUMO_v1_SECRET_i9j0k1l2__"
  }
};

When to use this

  • Manual AI workflow: Copy tokenized code, paste into ChatGPT/Claude web UI, copy response back
  • Debugging: See exactly what tokens are generated
  • Sharing: Send code to someone without exposing secrets
For automated workflows, use shield instead.
