threat-model

threat-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fmind/dot. It costs 17 tokens per session (708 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured security-planning method that maps assets, attackers, entry points, data flows, trust boundaries, abuse cases, and protections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or changing authentication, APIs, integrations, AI agents, sensitive-data systems, or publicly exposed services.
Why use it?
It exposes realistic ways a system could be misused that automated scanners may not detect, especially around users, permissions, sensitive data, and external services.

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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 31 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Threat Model

Identify the few plausible abuse paths that should change the design, plan, or verification strategy; code-security runs the scanners, whose output supports but never replaces attack-path reasoning, and incident-response handles a live breach.

Rules

  1. Model only what changes decisions: scope the system and the decision the model informs; map assets, actors, flows, and trust boundaries from evidence, then keep only abuse cases with a concrete path (attacker capability → entry point → missing control → asset impact). Drop category-only concerns.
  2. Default to read-only analysis: never probe live systems, run exploit code, access customer data, rotate credentials, or change security controls without explicit authorization.
  3. Ground the model in facts: never invent endpoints, attackers, compliance obligations, or exploitability; promote high-impact unknowns to verification tasks, not confirmed vulnerabilities.
  4. Respect intended autonomy: distinguish an actor's authorized capabilities from an attacker gaining them. Do not prescribe permission prompts or rewrite harness settings merely because execution is powerful (this workstation runs agents in bypass mode by choice). Hand agent, retrieval, and model abuse cases to ai-red-team with both the legitimate operation and the boundary the attacker must not cross.
  5. Prefer design over warnings: misuse-resistant types, secure defaults, least privilege, isolation, and fail-closed behavior beat rules every caller must remember.
  6. Feed delivery: report ranked abuse paths, existing and required controls with how each is verified, residual risks, and owner decisions; add required controls and tests to the plan or spec.

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 fmind/dot (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 708 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
