  • Bast – Open-source CLI that redacts PII before sending prompts to Claude
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Feb 2026
    I built an open-source terminal assistant that routes through a security gateway to redact sensitive data (API keys, emails, credentials) before it reaches the LLM.

    The problem: developers are piping codebases, env files, and command history into AI tools without thinking about what they're sending. Bast sits in front of Claude and filters that out automatically.

    It's a full TUI (Bubble Tea) written in Go. Features include natural language → shell commands, dangerous command warnings (rm -rf, git push --force, etc.), shell integration (Ctrl+E to explain any command), and an agentic mode for multi-step tasks.

    MIT licensed. The security gateway is free for 100K requests/month, or you can bypass it entirely and connect directly to Anthropic.
