Scope

contextzip is a local CLI tool that reads your filesystem and creates ZIP archives. It does not make network requests, collect data, or transmit anything anywhere. The primary security considerations are:

  • Path traversal — ensuring files outside the project directory are not included
  • Symlink handling — dangling or malicious symlinks are skipped, not followed blindly
  • Secrets in archives.env and key files are excluded by default, but users should always run --dry-run before sharing archives containing sensitive projects
