Hamza is an open-source tool that intercepts and masks secrets and personally identifiable information (PII) before they are sent to AI coding assistants such as Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. It acts as a privacy layer to prevent sensitive data from being exposed to external AI services during development workflows. The project is hosted on GitHub under the softcane organization.
