rafter-secure-design

rafter-secure-design is a skill for Claude Code from Raftersecurity/rafter-cli. It costs 133 tokens per session (1,680 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security design checklist for features that handle accounts, secrets, payments, user data, files, network requests, or other untrusted input. It helps assess risks before code is written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning authentication, access control, uploads, data deletion, database queries, command execution, or network-facing features.
Why use it?
It prevents security flaws from being built into the initial design instead of finding them weeks later during review.

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

rafter-secure-design 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rafter Secure Design — Designing It Right The First Time

A designer's skill, not a scanner. The goal is to catch the flaw in the whiteboard sketch, not three weeks later in a PR. Each sub-doc asks the questions a security engineer would ask at kickoff — "which primitive, which boundary, which default?"

Pair with rafter-code-review (structured review during PR) and the rafter skill (automated detection of what slipped through). This skill is the earliest stage — prevention before the code exists.

When this applies (and when it doesn't)

Engage this design walk when the feature you're about to build touches a real security surface: auth or access control, credentials / secrets / tokens / sessions, user or untrusted input, SQL or query construction, shell / exec, file paths or uploads, (de)serialization, crypto, network-facing endpoints or outbound fetchers, data deletion, or new dependencies.

If the thing you're designing has none of that — a research / experimental / local-only / throwaway piece such as a training script, analysis pipeline, plot, model-eval harness, notebook, or pure computation over trusted local data — a quick surface check is enough and you can proceed to implementation without the full walk. Judge by the surface, not by whether the work is called "research": a research feature that stores user data, handles a token, or opens a network endpoint is back on the engage list.

How to use this skill

  1. Identify what's being designed (below). If multiple apply, walk them in the order listed — threat-modeling last, as a capstone.
  2. Read only the matching sub-doc. Do not preload them all; pick-and-load keeps the conversation tight.
  3. Work through its questions against the proposed design. Capture the answer inline (architecture doc, design RFC, PR description). If you can't answer a question, that's a design gap — resolve it before writing code.
  4. When the design is stable, run the threat-modeling walk to stress-test it.
  5. Hand off to rafter-code-review during implementation.

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.

rafter-secure-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository Raftersecurity/rafter-cli (27 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 133 tokens to every session and 1,680 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-09-04.
