You're using it to anonymize your code, not de-anonymize someone's code. I was confused by your comment until I read the replies and realized that's what you meant to say.

I read it the other way, their code contains eg fetch(url, pw:hunter123), and they're asking Claude anonymized questions like "implement handler for fetch(url, {pw:mycleartrxtpw})"

And then claude replies

fetch(url, {pw:mycleartrxtpw}).then(writething)

And then the local llm converts the placeholder mycleartrxtpw into hunter123 using its access to the real code
