This could easily be prevented with credential management tools built specifically for ai agents.
Tools like AgentSecrets, infiscal, Doppler. People just don't want to invest in securing their credentials, maybe because the majority don't realize that credentials are the crux of inter software communication. It's literally access to your services.
We most times forget that not everyone can read our minds or see exactly what we see in our systems. When it comes to communicating ideas, there's always the requirement to actually communicate what it is the readers needs to know.
I oftentimes find myself spending more time rewriting readmes than writing code.
Treat the readme like a journey/walkthrough of your product, follow an order, and keep it simple to understand.
