threat-modelling

Instructions for creating or reviewing a STRIDE-based threat model of a software system and its infrastructure. Threat modeling is the practice of mapping how a system works and identifying ways it could be attacked.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps analyze repositories and infrastructure, draw architecture and data-flow diagrams, identify threats, review existing models, and recommend mitigations.
Why use it?
It makes security risks easier to prioritize by connecting threats to the system's architecture, data flows, and cloud resources.

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-modelling 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.

Threat Modelling

Overview

This skill produces threat model documents by analysing codebases, infrastructure-as-code, and live cloud resources. It follows the STRIDE framework and the Microsoft Threat Modeling Fundamentals four-phase approach: Design, Break, Fix (recommendations only), and Verify.

This skill produces threat models. It does NOT implement fixes or perform penetration testing.

Capabilities

Capability Action Description
Analyse Repository actions/analyse-repository.md Scan codebase and IaC to map architecture and confirm a data flow diagram
Assess Infrastructure actions/assess-infrastructure.md Query live cloud resources via MCP servers to map architecture and confirm a data flow diagram
Generate Threat Model actions/generate-threat-model.md Apply STRIDE to a confirmed diagram, produce threat model diagram and document
Review Threat Model actions/review-threat-model.md Evaluate an existing threat model for completeness and accuracy
Update Threat Model actions/update-threat-model.md Revise an existing threat model based on system changes

Principles

1. Analyse, Never Fix

This skill identifies and documents threats. It recommends mitigations but never implements fixes itself. The output is a document, not a code change.

2. Confirm Before Proceeding

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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-modelling is a skill published in the GitHub repository willvelida/code-minions (23 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 967 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
