# Security Requirement Extraction

Transform threat analysis into actionable security requirements.

## When to Use This Skill

- Converting threat models to requirements
- Writing security user stories
- Creating security test cases
- Building security acceptance criteria
- Compliance requirement mapping
- Security architecture documentation

## Core Concepts

### 1. Requirement Categories

```
Business Requirements → Security Requirements → Technical Controls
         ↓                       ↓                      ↓
  "Protect customer    "Encrypt PII at rest"   "AES-256 encryption
   data"                                        with KMS key rotation"
```

### 2. Security Requirement Types

| Type | Focus | Example |
|------|-------|---------|
| **Functional** | What system must do | "System must authenticate users" |
| **Non-functional** | How system must perform | "Authentication must complete in <2s" |
| **Constraint** | Limitations imposed | "Must use approved crypto libraries" |

### 3. Requirement Attributes

| Attribute | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Traceability** | Links to threats/compliance |
| **Testability** | Can be verified |
| **Priority** | Business importance |
| **Risk Level** | Impact if not met |

## Overview
This epic covers all security requirements related to {domain.value.replace('_', ' ')}.

## Business Value
- Protect against {domain.value.replace('_', ' ')} related threats
- Meet compliance requirements
- Reduce security risk

## Stories in this Epic
{chr(10).join(f'- [{r.id}] {r.title}' for r in reqs)}

## Acceptance Criteria
- All stories complete
- Security tests passing
- Security review approved
- Compliance requirements met

## Risk if Not Implemented
- Vulnerability to {domain.value.replace('_', ' ')} attacks
- Compliance violations
- Potential data breach

## Dependencies

## Best Practices

### Do's
- **Trace to threats** - Every requirement should map to threats
- **Be specific** - Vague requirements can't be tested
- **Include acceptance criteria** - Define "done"
- **Consider compliance** - Map to frameworks early
- **Review regularly** - Requirements evolve with threats

### Don'ts
- **Don't be generic** - "Be secure" is not a requirement
- **Don't skip rationale** - Explain why it matters
- **Don't ignore priorities** - Not all requirements are equal
- **Don't forget testability** - If you can't test it, you can't verify it
- **Don't work in isolation** - Involve stakeholders
