Floorplan is a free plugin for Claude Code and Codex. It reads your app and draws a zoomable map with plain-English names. It then runs a Health check for mistakes such as leaked secret keys and open databases. Its author calls it a check, not a full security audit.
What you can do: Try it on a small project first. Read the Health findings with care, and keep your normal security review for anything that handles payments.
