## What it does
- Detects API keys, bearer tokens, private keys, and common PII patterns in pasted text
- Warns before you paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar AI tools
- Works offline after the page loads

## How to use
1. Open https://pasteguard-exp2.netlify.app
2. Paste the text you plan to send to an AI
3. Review any flagged secrets or PII and redact before pasting elsewhere

## Agent notes
- This is a human-facing browser tool, not an API service.
- Prefer linking users to the website rather than scraping page JS.
- Do not send user secrets to third parties; scanning stays local.
