threat-model

threat-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from backspace-shmackspace/claude-devkit. It costs 70 tokens per session (12,680 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A threat-modeling skill for examining how a software system could be attacked or misused. It maps components, data flows, and trust boundaries, then records threats using STRIDE categories and DREAD risk ratings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create both a machine-readable OTM JSON model and a human-readable report covering threats, risks, mitigations, and analysis limits.
Why use it?
It helps security reviews focus on concrete risks tied to real system parts and data movements. It also makes assumptions, confidence, and areas not reviewed visible to readers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

threat-model scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Threat Modeling

Structured threat identification and risk assessment for software systems using STRIDE threat categorization and DREAD risk rating, producing both machine-readable Open Threat Model (OTM) JSON and human-readable markdown reports.

Core Principles

  1. Risk-First: Focus analysis effort on high-value assets and exposed trust boundaries. Not every component warrants equal analysis depth -- prioritize by data sensitivity and exposure.

  2. Evidence-Based: Every identified threat must be backed by specific data flows, components, and trust zone crossings. A threat without a concrete scenario is speculation, not analysis.

  3. Repeatable: The same project context must yield structurally consistent models regardless of which analyst or AI assistant performs the analysis. The three-phase workflow and verification checklist enforce this constraint.

  4. Dual-Output: Always produce both OTM JSON (for toolchain integration) and a markdown report (for human review). Neither is a subset of the other -- both must be complete.

  5. Honest: Explicitly state scope limits, assumptions, confidence levels, and what was NOT analyzed. A threat model that overstates its coverage is worse than one that honestly declares its boundaries.

A note on DREAD. Microsoft deprecated DREAD in 2008 in favor of CVSS-based bug bar approaches. This skill retains DREAD for three reasons: (1) CVSS scores vulnerabilities, not threats -- DREAD is purpose-built for threat modeling; (2) DREAD's five-axis model is simpler and more practical for systematic analysis than CVSS's base/temporal/ environmental scoring; (3) STRIDE-GPT and other modern threat modeling tools validate DREAD's continued utility. Organizations that require CVSS should map DREAD outputs to their internal risk scale after completing the threat model.

Output sensitivity. Threat model artifacts contain detailed descriptions of exploitable weaknesses, unmitigated threats, and attack scenarios. Treat all outputs (OTM JSON, markdown reports, working notes) as confidential. Store them in access-controlled repositories. Do not share threat model artifacts over unencrypted channels or in public forums. Consult your organization's data classification policy for specific handling requirements.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

threat-model is a skill published in the GitHub repository backspace-shmackspace/claude-devkit (15 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 12,680 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
