BlankLogic Refinery

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

BlankLogic Refinery removes tracker noise, boilerplate, and obvious secrets from the code you send to LLMs. Everything runs locally through the Refinery CLI. No upload of your source to BlankLogic servers.

What's new in 0.2.0

• Version alignment with BlankLogic 0.2.0 release train (proxy whitelist/graph, MCP telemetry hardening).
• README hero image uses stable blanklogic.io URL for npm and marketplace listings.

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.
