threat-model-writing

threat-model-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security document template based on STRIDE, a method for looking for common kinds of threats in software systems. It maps important assets, attackers, exposed entry points, trust boundaries, risks, and safeguards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse monoliths, microservices, or serverless systems handling sensitive data, and to document risks across browsers, APIs, services, and databases.
Why use it?
It helps teams find security weaknesses before release and turn them into a prioritized list of mitigations.

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-writing 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/score-threats.py), 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Threat Model Writing

Before you start

Gather the following information. If any is missing, ask the user before proceeding:

  1. System description — What does the system do? Architecture type (monolith, microservices, serverless)?
  2. Data sensitivity — PII, financial, health, credentials, intellectual property?
  3. Trust boundaries — Where does trusted meet untrusted? Browser-to-API, service-to-database, internal-to-third-party?
  4. Deployment environment — Cloud provider, on-prem, hybrid? Network boundaries?
  5. Compliance requirements — SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, or none?
  6. Existing security controls — Authentication, authorization, encryption, and monitoring already in place?

If the user provides only a feature name ("we built a payments API"), push back and ask for architecture details, data flows, and trust boundaries.

Threat model template

Every section is required unless explicitly marked optional.

Title

[System Name] — STRIDE Threat Model

1. System Overview (3-5 sentences)

Describe purpose, architecture, and key data flows. List major components and how they communicate:

User Browser → (HTTPS) → API Gateway → (gRPC) → Auth Service → (TLS) → Database
                                      → (gRPC) → Payment Service → (TLS) → Stripe API

2. Assets

Enumerate what an attacker would target. For each asset, state CIA requirements:

Asset Confidentiality Integrity Availability Notes
User credentials Critical Critical High Hashed with bcrypt, salted
Payment tokens Critical Critical High Tokenized via Stripe, never stored raw

3. Threat Actors

Identify who might attack the system and their capabilities. Tailor to the system — a B2B internal tool has different actors than a public consumer API.

  • External unauthenticated — Script kiddies, automated scanners. Low skill, high volume.
  • External authenticated — Malicious users with valid accounts. Medium skill, targeted.
  • Insider — Employees or contractors with system access. High skill, privileged.
  • Supply chain — Compromised dependencies or third-party services.

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-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,565 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.
