security-first-methodology

Threat modeling integrates into autonomous agent workflows by applying adaptive security-first methodology, adding threat models to plans, enforcing pre-execution gate checks, and conducting post-execution validation for security-critical decisions.

Security gates in code generation are pre-execution checks that enforce security patterns, such as avoiding hardcoded secrets and validating inputs at trust boundaries, ensuring autonomous agents adhere to security-first constraints before task execution.

Security-first methodology applies recipe-aware constraints based on task type, triggering threat modeling for new projects, pre-execution gate checks for features, and adversarial review for bug fixes or security audits.

Yes, high-risk autonomous agent tasks support an optional second-opinion review process, including cross-review with Claude Code or Codex, manual fresh-chat review, and local adversarial review to validate security-critical decisions.

No dependencies are required to apply this security-first methodology to autonomous agents, as it operates as an adaptive framework providing scripts and references for threat modeling, security gates, and post-execution validation.

A security-first approach for autonomous agents adds overhead through mandatory threat modeling and gate checks, making it less suitable for low-risk, rapid prototyping tasks where post-execution validation and adversarial review are unnecessary.
