threat-modeling

threat-modeling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (3,633 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Threat modeling is a design review that identifies how a system could be attacked, assesses the risks, and plans safeguards.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review new systems, features, integrations, and infrastructure changes using STRIDE, trust boundaries, data classification, and documented mitigations.
Why use it?
It helps teams address security risks before implementation or architectural changes make them expensive to fix.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 260
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

    Docker image references without a specific tag (:latest is implicit) or digest (@sha256:...) can be silently replaced by a malicious image.

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-modeling 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 9d 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

Identify and mitigate security threats during system design.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Designing a new system, service, or feature
  • Making significant architectural changes to existing systems
  • Onboarding a new third-party integration or dependency
  • Preparing for security audits or compliance reviews
  • Responding to a security incident to improve defenses
  • Reviewing infrastructure changes that affect trust boundaries

Prerequisites

  • System architecture documentation or design diagrams
  • Access to development and operations teams for context
  • Understanding of the system's data classification (PII, PHI, financial, etc.)
  • OWASP Threat Dragon or Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool (optional but helpful)
  • Whiteboard or diagramming tool for collaborative sessions

STRIDE Methodology

Threat Description Property Violated Mitigation Examples
Spoofing Pretending to be another user or system Authentication MFA, mTLS, API key validation, certificate pinning
Tampering Modifying data in transit or at rest Integrity HMAC, digital signatures, checksums, immutable logs
Repudiation Denying having performed an action Non-repudiation Audit logging, digital signatures, tamper-evident logs
Information Disclosure Exposing data to unauthorized parties Confidentiality Encryption (TLS, AES), access controls, data masking
Denial of Service Making service unavailable Availability Rate limiting, autoscaling, CDN, circuit breakers
Elevation of Privilege Gaining unauthorized higher access Authorization RBAC, principle of least privilege, input validation

threat-modeling is a skill published in the GitHub repository BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills (1,084 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 3,633 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
