Not a routine gate; it can hard-STOP only on a genuinely critical unmitigated threat it surfaces.</h2>\n<h1>security-architecture</h1>\n<p>Optional, lightweight threat-modeling pass over a design before it is built. Routed to only when the user deliberately invokes <code>/threat-model &lt;scope&gt;</code> for a sensitive feature — never forced on an ordinary change. Reviews architectural intent before code exists; for code already written, dispatch <code>security-reviewer</code> instead.</p>\n<h2>Pre-flight</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Read <code>{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/security-controls.md</code> — approved primitives, declared security boundaries and their permitted crossings, what is and is not allowed. If it cannot be read, STOP and surface the gap; do not guess the boundary model.</li>\n<li>Establish the scope from the user's <code>/threat-model</code> argument: the feature, component, or design under review.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Phase 1 — Attack surface · gate: BLOCK</h2>\n<p>Map what the change exposes. Name, for the scope:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>New or changed entry points — routes, endpoints, message consumers, CLI surfaces.</li>\n<li>New egress — outbound calls, external dependencies, new data sinks.</li>\n<li>Security boundaries crossed, as declared in <code>security-controls.md</code> (trust transitions, privilege changes, data leaving a controlled zone).</li>\n<li>The data handled and its sensitivity.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A boundary crossing not described in <code>security-controls.md</code> is a finding, not a silent pass. A finding outside this scope gets one line with an inline <code>[NEEDS-TRIAGE]</code> marker.</p>\n<p>Gate: the attack surface and every boundary crossing in scope are enumerated.</p>\n<h2>Phase 2 — STRIDE pass · gate: STOP</h2>\n<p>Walk the surface from Phase 1 through STRIDE. For each relevant category, name the concrete threat and the control expected to mitigate it:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spoofing</strong> — identity/authentication of the actor at the boundary.</li>\n<li><strong>Tampering</strong> — integrity of data in transit and at rest.</li>\n<li><strong>Repudiation</strong> — whether actions are attributable.</li>\n<li><strong>Information disclosure</strong> — exposure of sensitive data, including in logs and errors.</li>\n<li><strong>Denial of service</strong> — exhaustion or availability impact.</li>\n<li><strong>Elevation of privilege</strong> — privilege gained across the boundary.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mark each threat's mitigation <code>PRESENT</code>, <code>PLANNED</code>, or <code>GAP</code>. Skip a category only with a one-line reason it does not apply.</p>\n<p>If the threat depends on auth, crypto, key handling, or secrets, MAY dispatch <code>{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/agents/auth-crypto-reviewer.md</code>. For broader boundary or surface concerns, MAY dispatch <code>{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/agents/security-reviewer.md</code>. Both govern by <code>security-controls.md</code>.</p>\n<p>Gate: STOP only on a genuinely critical unmitigated threat — a <code>GAP</code> that is exploitable now with high impact. Lesser gaps are surfaced as constraints, not stops.</p>\n<h2>Phase 3 — Report · gate: BLOCK</h2>\n<p>Produce a terse report:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Surface</strong> — entry points, egress, boundaries crossed.</li>\n<li><strong>Threats</strong> — the STRIDE findings; lead with <code>GAP</code>s, then <code>PLANNED</code>, summarize <code>PRESENT</code> in one line.</li>\n<li><strong>Verdict</strong> — <code>PROCEED</code> (no open gap), <code>PROCEED-WITH-CONSTRAINTS</code> (gaps listed with owner), or <code>STOP</code> (a critical unmitigated threat is present; name it).</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A decision-worthy gap is escalated to the user or to <code>{{PROJECT_DIR}}/.codearbiter/decisions/</code> via <code>/adr</code> — never authored as an ADR by this skill.</p>\n<p>Gate: report delivered with a stated verdict; every STOP-level threat from Phase 2 is reflected in it.</p>\n<h2>Hard rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>MUST NOT force this pass on an ordinary change. It is invoked deliberately for sensitive features only.</li>\n<li>MUST NOT guess the boundary model — read <code>security-controls.md</code> or STOP.</li>\n<li>MUST NOT silently pass an undeclared boundary crossing — surface it.</li>\n<li>MUST NOT STOP on anything short of a critical, exploitable, unmitigated threat; lesser gaps are constraints.</li>\n<li>MUST NOT author an ADR — escalate decision-worthy gaps to the user or <code>/adr</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":4576,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
