threat-model

threat-model is a skill for Claude Code from me2resh/apexyard. It costs 36 tokens per session (5,648 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review based on STRIDE, a framework for checking threats such as impersonation, data tampering, information leaks, denial of service, and unauthorised access. It uses a data-flow diagram to examine where data crosses trust boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a detailed threat assessment, especially when a launch security check finds a warning or failure.
Why use it?
It helps reveal security risks and organise mitigations before a system is launched.

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 →

    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.

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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (serialize_dragon.py, tests/test_serialize_dragon.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 416 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/threat-model — STRIDE Threat Modelling

Deep-dive security analysis using the STRIDE framework. Produces a prioritized threat catalogue with mitigations. This is the expert companion to /launch-check's security row — invoke it when security shows WARN or FAIL, or proactively before any launch.

Consumes the DFD produced by /dfd. The Data Flow Diagram at projects/<project>/architecture/dfd.md is the source of truth; this skill iterates its trust-boundary crossings rather than rebuilding its own data-flow view. If the DFD doesn't exist, this skill OFFERS to run /dfd first (see Step 1). See AgDR-0026 for the single-source-of-truth rationale.

This skill performs semantic code navigation — finding definitions, walking references, tracing handlers across modules. With LSP enabled (ENABLE_LSP_TOOL=1 + per-language plugin per docs/getting-started.md), queries are ~3-15× cheaper in token cost than grep + Read on shallow lookups, and ~1.4-5× cheaper on multi-hop traces. Without LSP, the skill falls back to grep + Read transparently — no new failure mode, just optional speed.

Per-language LSP plugins live in Claude Code's marketplace. Install once; the skill detects the active language and dispatches automatically.

Usage

/threat-model                                # default: markdown only (unchanged)
/threat-model --format=markdown              # explicit markdown only
/threat-model --format=dragon                # OWASP Threat Dragon v2 JSON only
/threat-model --format=both                  # both markdown AND Threat Dragon JSON
/threat-model workspace/example-app --format=both
Flag Effect
(none) Persist the markdown catalogue via _lib-audit-history.sh (default). Backwards-compatible.
--format=markdown Same as default — explicit form.
--format=dragon Skip the markdown body; emit only <output-dir>/threat-model.json in OWASP Threat Dragon v2 schema. JSON still flows through _lib-audit-history.sh for findings persistence (the lib's per-run JSON is unrelated to the Dragon export).
--format=both Emit markdown AND <output-dir>/threat-model.json. Recommended when you want PR-reviewable markdown AND a Dragon-openable file.

Changes

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 me2resh/apexyard (498 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 5,648 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.
