threat-model
Skill4 starsChanged 46 days agoMITView on GitHub
Builds or updates the STRIDE threat model — assets, trust boundaries, attack surfaces (auth, GraphQL/REST, WebSocket, uploads, webhooks, admin, CI/CD, dependencies, infra), threats with likelihood/impact/mitigation, verification. Produces docs/architecture/threat-model.md. Required before build and when a new surface appears.

AnthropicSkillvuln-scan
Static source-code vulnerability scan. Reads a target directory (and THREAT_MODEL.md if present), spawns parallel review subagents per focus area, and writes VULN-FINDINGS.json + .md for /triage to consume. Read-only — no building, running, or network. For execution-verified crashes, use vuln-pipeline instead. Use when asked to "scan for vulns", "review this code for security issues", "find bugs in <dir>", or as the step between /threat-model and /triage.

mbwsimsSkillorbit
Run for repo-wide or diff-wide readiness sweeps: "/orbit", "/orbit pr", "/orbit deep", "/orbit quick", "audit this project", "project-wide review", "is this PR ready overall", or "combined security, tests, codebase, evolution, and instruction review". Use this for broad multi-system assessment, not for a single-file review or a one-domain question.

mbwsimsSkilltest-plan
This skill should be used when the user asks to "plan tests", "what should I test", "what tests do I need", "test plan for", "testing strategy for", "test matrix for", "what cases should I cover", "help me plan tests", mentions "/test-plan", or wants to understand what tests are needed before writing any test code.

patrickserranoSkillperformance-audit
Audit and improve SwiftUI runtime performance. Use for requests to diagnose slow rendering, janky scrolling, high CPU/memory usage, excessive view updates, or layout thrash in SwiftUI apps.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 51 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 51 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Threat Model
Reply in the project conversation language (CLAUDE.md → Language); code, identifiers, paths and commit messages stay in English.
Template .claude/docs/templates/threat-model.md; security-baseline.md, security-standards.md, graphql.md (security), llm-integration.md (Security) for LLM/MCP surfaces. In the commands below, <hooks> is .claude/hooks/ in copy mode and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/ in plugin mode.
Phase 1: System
- Scope from the argument:
full(default) walks every surface;<surface>analyses only that surface and updates its rows in the existing model. - Read the product spec (data, jurisdiction), technical-preferences (including Deploy target, Infra repo and Proxy config — proxy requirements need an owner and a file), the API contract, compose/infra, the existing threat model. No product spec → continue from technical-preferences and the code, and say so in the model.
- Draw the DFD (mermaid) with trust boundaries; ask about the non-obvious (external integrations, admin access, payments).
Phase 2: Surfaces and threats
- Per surface: STRIDE threats with likelihood/impact; mitigations referencing the baseline; status (exists/planned/none).
- Surfaces that need their own rows:
- Data export / deletion, when the data model classifies personal data: who may request, how identity is verified, what is exported (and what must not be), how deletion propagates to replicas, backups and logs, and the evidence kept.
- GraphQL: introspection, complexity, batching, field authorisation, persisted ops.
- Games: anti-cheat, modified clients, chat spam, room DoS.
- LLM features — when technical-preferences § LLM features is not
none, or the code imports an LLM/MCP SDK (@anthropic-ai/sdk,anthropic,anthropic-sdk-go,anthropic-ai/sdk,@modelcontextprotocol/*,github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk,mcp,mcp/sdk— the bare Python namesmcpandanthropicare grep-able only inrequirements.txt/pyproject.toml, not in code): readreferences/llm-surface.mdand add its rows — trust boundaries for model inputs (direct and indirect prompt injection), tool-call side effects and exfiltration, RAG / document ingestion, and every MCP server the product runs or connects to — with the same STRIDE, likelihood/impact and status columns; absent when neither signal exists.
appsec-engineerandnetwork-security-engineervia Task in parallel complete their areas.
Phase 3: Priorities
Top 5 unmitigated threats → proposed stories (/create-stories) or ADRs (/architecture-decision); residual risks explicitly accepted by the user.
Phase 4: Write
The gate follows coordination-rules rule 7's exact order: the draft (or a tight summary of it) in the chat message first, then "May I write docs/architecture/threat-model.md?" — one AskUserQuestion: write (Recommended) · show the draft/diff first · not now — and Write only after that answer, never write-then-ask. Add a "Security" section to affected feature specs with consent. After the "write" answer: touch .claude/.write-consent (rule 7 — the consent-guard hook checks the marker).
Phase 5: Commit (documents lane)
Right after the write, one commit gate (rule 7 (4), .claude/docs/git-workflow.md § Documents): docs: threat model (or docs: threat model — <surface> for a single-surface update), staging exactly the written files — docs/architecture/threat-model.md and the feature specs whose "Security" section was added with consent. Record the gate before asking — <hooks>session-state.sh set Gate "/threat-model Phase 5: commit?" — and clear it after the answer (<hooks>session-state.sh set Gate "—").
- On the default branch when no story work is in progress: one
AskUserQuestion— commit (Recommended) · leave uncommitted. - When HEAD is a story branch, name it and ask one
AskUserQuestion: switch to the default branch and commit there (Recommended — a pipeline-wide document) · commit here (the document belongs to this story) · leave uncommitted. - This skill writes no code; should a mitigation snippet have been written on request, it is not a document and never rides the
docs:commit — name it and offer the chore lane (git-workflow.md § Chore / infra) or the story it belongs to.
Nothing is committed without the answer.
Verdict: COMPLETE | HIGH RISK (N unmitigated). Next step — one AskUserQuestion: /create-stories for the mitigations (Recommended) · /security-audit after implementation · revise the model.
