BlankLogic Refinery

Clean code and redact secrets before AI sees them — right inside VS Code or Cursor.

For Cursor agents, prefer the MCP server: npx @blanklogic/refinery-mcp (see npm README). This extension is for editor selection cleanup via the CLI.

What's new in 0.2.5

• Coordinated 0.2.5 release — points to MCP as primary agent install path.
• Open VSX and Marketplace VSIX use stable blanklogic.io image URLs.

Saved tokens or caught a secret?

If BlankLogic trimmed noise, redacted secrets, or cut token waste for you, a quick review helps others find it:

• Cursor / Open VSX: Rate BlankLogic Refinery on Open VSX
• VS Code: Leave a review on the Marketplace
• Feedback: blanklogic.io/#support

Install

What it does

1. Select code in the editor.
2. Run BlankLogic: Clean Selection for AI — de-bloats HTML/code/logs and redacts obvious secrets.
3. Or run BlankLogic: Scan Secrets — reports secret count and offers to replace the selection.

The extension shells out to @blanklogic/refinery via npx by default. Your files stay on your machine.

Commands

Settings

Default runtime (works out of the box):

{
  "blanklogic.cliPath": "npx",
  "blanklogic.cliArgs": ["@blanklogic/refinery"]
}

For a pinned global install:

{
  "blanklogic.cliPath": "/usr/local/bin/refinery",
  "blanklogic.cliArgs": []
}

blanklogic.cloudRefine.enabled stays false by default. Local cleanup is the supported path.
