Zift
Zift is an open-source code scanner that finds embedded authorization logic so teams can externalize it into policy-as-code systems such as OPA, with Cedar support planned. The official README and Show HN launch describe a Rust tool that scans JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Python, and C# codebases, then outputs Rego and can connect to a local agent for deeper scanning. It is useful for security engineers, backend developers, and platform teams modernizing authorization across large repositories. Zift is notable now because AI coding agents can spread business rules quickly, but authorization logic still needs review, centralization, and auditability. As an agent-aware security utility, it fits Smartoolbox’s developer and AI-agent infrastructure audience.
