security-threat-model

security-threat-model is a skill for Codex from PracticalSwan/agent-skills. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,638 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-based threat-modeling workflow that maps trust boundaries, protected assets, attacker abilities, abuse paths, and mitigations. Threat modeling is the practice of predicting how a system could be attacked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating an application-security threat model for a codebase or project path, including its components, data stores, integrations, deployment, and authentication assumptions.
Why use it?
It helps security work focus on realistic risks in the actual architecture instead of relying on a generic checklist.

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

security-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 4d 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 Model Source Code Repo

Deliver an actionable AppSec-grade threat model that is specific to the repository or a project path, not a generic checklist. Anchor every architectural claim to evidence in the repo and keep assumptions explicit. Prioritizing realistic attacker goals and concrete impacts over generic checklists.

Quick start

  1. Collect (or infer) inputs:
  • Repo root path and any in-scope paths.
  • Intended usage, deployment model, internet exposure, and auth expectations (if known).
  • Any existing repository summary or architecture spec.
  • Use prompts in references/prompt-template.md to generate a repository summary.
  • Follow the required output contract in references/prompt-template.md. Use it verbatim when possible.

Workflow

1) Scope and extract the system model

  • Identify primary components, data stores, and external integrations from the repo summary.
  • Identify how the system runs (server, CLI, library, worker) and its entrypoints.
  • Separate runtime behavior from CI/build/dev tooling and from tests/examples.
  • Map the in-scope locations to those components and exclude out-of-scope items explicitly.
  • Do not claim components, flows, or controls without evidence.

2) Derive boundaries, assets, and entry points

  • Enumerate trust boundaries as concrete edges between components, noting protocol, auth, encryption, validation, and rate limiting.
  • List assets that drive risk (data, credentials, models, config, compute resources, audit logs).
  • Identify entry points (endpoints, upload surfaces, parsers/decoders, job triggers, admin tooling, logging/error sinks).

3) Calibrate assets and attacker capabilities

  • List the assets that drive risk (credentials, PII, integrity-critical state, availability-critical components, build artifacts).
  • Describe realistic attacker capabilities based on exposure and intended usage.
  • Explicitly note non-capabilities to avoid inflated severity.

4) Enumerate threats as abuse paths

  • Prefer attacker goals that map to assets and boundaries (exfiltration, privilege escalation, integrity compromise, denial of service).
  • Classify each threat and tie it to impacted assets.
  • Keep the number of threats small but high quality.

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.

security-threat-model is a skill published in the GitHub repository PracticalSwan/agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,638 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
