Before you push AI-generated code

AI writes code that runs — but "it runs" doesn't mean it's safe to ship. It might leave a real password in a file, or install a package that doesn't exist. Here are the 6 things to check before you push. Tap each one to see how. Tick them off as you go.

YOUR PROGRESS0 / 6

The routine at a glance — tap any to jump

CHECK 1

Leaked secrets

Did a real password or API key end up in the code?

CHECK 2

Hallucinated packages

Did the AI invent a package that doesn't really exist?

CHECK 3

Vulnerable dependencies

Are any installed packages known to be unsafe?

CHECK 4

Insecure code patterns

Did the AI use unsafe shortcuts — weak crypto, injection?

CHECK 5

What's about to ship

Is a secret file or build artifact about to be pushed?

CHECK 6

What tools can't check

Does it actually do what you wanted — correctly and safely?

Commands and tool behaviour change between versions — confirm against each tool's current docs. Checks 1–5 are tool-assisted; check 6 is human judgment no tool can replace. Full detail: Verifying AI-Generated Code.
