# SKILL: Insecure Source Code Management

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: This skill covers detection and recovery of exposed version-control metadata, common backup artifacts, and related misconfigurations. Use only in **authorized** assessments. Treat recovered credentials and URLs as sensitive; do not exfiltrate real data beyond scope. For broad discovery workflow, cross-load [recon-for-sec](../recon-for-sec/SKILL.md) and [recon-and-methodology](../recon-and-methodology/SKILL.md) when those skills exist in the workspace.
