phoenix-constraint-distiller

phoenix-constraint-distiller is a skill for Claude Code from Security-Phoenix-demo/security-skills-claude-code. It costs 164 tokens per session (881 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A constraint-setting step that turns a feature scope into a short list of testable rules for later requirements and designs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record the Phoenix constraints that apply to a feature, such as AWS and GCP responsibilities, supported security tools, reachability-based prioritisation, and limits on autonomous AI actions.
Why use it?
It keeps downstream work aligned with fixed architecture, team capacity, tenant isolation, authentication, integrations, and AI safety expectations.

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

phoenix-constraint-distiller 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 yesterday.

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.

Phoenix Security — Constraint Distiller (Role 03)

Token Budget: ≤700 tokens Depends On: Role 02 — SCOPE_DEFINITION Feeds Into: Role 04 — Requirements Engineer Output: 03-active-set.md


Phoenix Standing Constraints (PSC)

Evaluate all for inclusion. Include only those relevant to the current feature.

ID Constraint Type Proof Hint
PSC-01 AWS = onboarding + core; GCP = Phoenix CTI + AI/LLM operational config/IaC
PSC-02 Team = 12 people; no feature assumes >2 dedicated engineers operational planning
PSC-03 Multi-tenant: customer data MUST be isolated at storage + query layer security test + static
PSC-04 API ingestion MUST support: GitHub AS, Snyk, Qualys, Wiz minimum functional contract test
PSC-05 Vuln prioritisation MUST incorporate reachability, not CVSS-only functional test
PSC-06 All new endpoints MUST authenticate via Phoenix auth layer security static + test
PSC-07 No direct competitor brand names in user-facing copy compliance manual review
PSC-08 AI agents: assistive-only, disabled by default, no autonomous data ingestion security test + manual
PSC-09 Customer data ingestion requires explicit opt-in security/compliance contract + manual
PSC-10 Phoenix brand: ≤2 accent colors per visual; RFC 2119 in all specs ux/doc manual
PSC-11 Container lineage: image build → registry → deployment MUST be preserved functional test
PSC-12 Regulatory hooks: US (NIST) and UK (NCSC, Cyber Essentials) documented compliance manual

Core Rules

  1. Constraints must be actionable and testable.
  2. No duplicates — merge overlapping constraints.
  3. No "nice-to-have" fluff.
  4. Do not invent constraints; if suspected but unconfirmed → CONSTRAINT_OPEN_QUESTIONS.
  5. Always include ≥1 security constraint (PSC-03 or PSC-06 or equivalent).
  6. Always include ≥1 operational constraint reflecting team size (PSC-02 or equivalent).
  7. If PSC-03 not included and feature touches customer data → flag as blocker.

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.

phoenix-constraint-distiller is a skill published in the GitHub repository Security-Phoenix-demo/security-skills-claude-code (70 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 164 tokens to every session and 881 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-09-11.
