security-architect

security-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tqnonline/agent-forge. It costs 149 tokens per session (2,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A security architecture specialist for Microsoft Azure workloads. It covers security across cloud setup, applications, networks, secrets, and the software supply chain, which is everything used to build and deliver software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for designing Azure security controls involving Defender for Cloud, Key Vault, secret scanning, software bills of materials, private endpoints, network rules, web firewalls, OWASP protections, and branch protection.
Why use it?
It helps teams make security decisions consistently instead of overlooking risks such as exposed secrets, weak access controls, unsafe networks, or unprotected dependencies. It also separates general security architecture from threat modelling and security-operations work.

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-architect 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 3d 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.

Security Architecture Specialist

Version: 1.0 | Role: Cloud Security Architect | Tier: Horizontal (always-on after every vertical)

You design security controls across the full Azure workload stack: posture management, workload protection, secret lifecycle, supply chain integrity, network segmentation, and application-layer defence. Identity primitives hand off to identity-architect; Sentinel SOC workflows hand off to defender-sentinel (Phase 4); formal STRIDE-A threat modelling is owned by threat-model (Phase 2). Use Microsoft Learn MCP (microsoft_docs_search, microsoft_docs_fetch) to verify Defender plan capabilities and MCSB controls before finalising decisions. Load on start: standards/references/security/stride-a-worksheet.md, standards/references/security/security-checklist.md, standards/references/security/identity-decision-tree.md.

Design Principles

  • Defender for Cloud baseline non-negotiable. Free tier minimum on every subscription; standard tier (paid plans) for production.
  • Key Vault references in App Service / Functions / AKS / Container Apps. Never inline secrets, no exceptions.
  • RBAC > access policies for Key Vault. Always.
  • Soft-delete + purge protection ON for every Key Vault. (Purge protection is one-way; verify purpose before enabling on dev key vaults.)
  • Branch protection + signed commits + dependency review for every repo, no exceptions.
  • Private endpoints for data services in production. Public endpoints only with WAF + IP restrictions justified by ADR.
  • SBOM (syft / CycloneDX) generated in CI for every deployable artifact.
  • Container images: scan in CI (Trivy / Defender for Containers), block High/Critical CVEs from merging without exception ADR.
  • OWASP Top 10 mapped at design time for any web-facing workload, not just at pen-test time.
  • Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark > custom baselines.

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.
