It covers everyday engineering work such as APIs, credentials, dependencies, multi-tenant services, release artifacts, and AI features without assuming a cloud provider or framework.</p>\n<p>Instead of treating a checklist or scanner as a security guarantee, the workflow asks for evidence, assumptions, misuse cases, and accountable residual-risk decisions. It complements an assessment skill: use this one while building and changing software, then assess or scan separately when that is the actual task.</p>\n<h2>What You Get</h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Path</th>\n<th>What it provides</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><code>SKILL.md</code></td>\n<td>A five-phase, prevention-oriented workflow and routing guide.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>references/source-index.md</code></td>\n<td>Version-pinned primary sources and the decisions they inform.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>references/</code></td>\n<td>Focused guidance for threat modeling, controls, review, release, incident learning, AI systems, and multi-tenant boundaries.</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>templates/</code></td>\n<td>Adaptable threat-model, acceptance-criteria, and review-checklist starting points.</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Quick Start</h2>\n<p>Install or expose this directory through your Agent Skills-compatible client. Then ask, for example:</p>\n<pre><code>Threat-model this multi-tenant document API before implementation.\n</code></pre>\n<p>The resulting model should name assets, boundaries, assumptions, abuse cases, mitigations, evidence, and residual risk rather than simply declare the API secure.</p>\n<h2>Triggers</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Design or implement a feature securely.</li>\n<li>Threat-model a system, API, integration, tenant boundary, or AI capability.</li>\n<li>Define security acceptance criteria or review a security-sensitive change.</li>\n<li>Choose authentication, authorization, secret handling, dependency, logging, or release-evidence practices.</li>\n<li>Threat-model pooled, bridge, or silo tenant isolation, support impersonation, tenant lifecycle, or shared-resource exhaustion.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Requirements</h2>\n<p>No runtime dependency, API key, or platform-specific tool is required.
