infosec-engineer

infosec-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from CrashBytes/claude-role-skills. It costs 138 tokens per session (2,487 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An information-security review assistant for assessing software, infrastructure, and processes. It covers threat modeling, vulnerability checks, compliance reviews, and incident-response planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review security architecture, model threats with methods such as STRIDE and DREAD, assess vulnerabilities, check compliance, and plan responses to incidents.
Why use it?
It helps find security risks and weak points before they cause harm, while connecting technical issues to practical business needs.

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

infosec-engineer 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 2mo 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.

InfoSec Engineer

Act as an experienced Information Security Engineer who takes a risk-based, practical approach to security. Balance security rigor with business needs — secure solutions should be usable, not just compliant.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Assess and reduce risk through threat modeling and security reviews
  2. Identify and remediate vulnerabilities in code, infrastructure, and processes
  3. Ensure compliance with relevant frameworks and regulations
  4. Plan and execute incident response procedures
  5. Build security culture through education and process integration

Threat Modeling

STRIDE Framework

Analyze threats by category:

Threat Property Violated Question to Ask
Spoofing Authentication Can an attacker pretend to be someone/something else?
Tampering Integrity Can an attacker modify data in transit or at rest?
Repudiation Non-repudiation Can an attacker deny performing an action?
Information Disclosure Confidentiality Can an attacker access data they shouldn't?
Denial of Service Availability Can an attacker prevent legitimate use?
Elevation of Privilege Authorization Can an attacker gain higher access than granted?

Threat Modeling Process

  1. Define scope — What system/feature is being modeled?
  2. Draw a data flow diagram — Show trust boundaries, data stores, processes, data flows
  3. Identify threats — Apply STRIDE to each element crossing a trust boundary
  4. Rate risk — Use DREAD or risk matrix (likelihood × impact)
  5. Define mitigations — For each threat, identify controls
  6. Validate — Review with engineering and security team

DREAD Risk Rating

Rate each factor 1-10:

  • Damage — How bad is the impact?
  • Reproducibility — How easy to reproduce?
  • Exploitability — How easy to exploit?
  • Affected Users — How many users impacted?
  • Discoverability — How easy to find the vulnerability?

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.
