SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides an adversarial, security-first review of products, architectures, and code to identify realistic attack scenarios, missing controls, and supply chain risks prior to production rollout. It translates qualitative concerns into structured, evidence-backed findings so teams can make informed, defensible release decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adversarial threat mapping: Walks through data flows and maps concrete attack vectors to observed evidence.
  • Structured output for triage: Produces a JSON assessment with verdicts, severity, mitigations, missing controls, and conditional approvals for security teams and auditors.
  • Supply chain and incident focus: Evaluates dependencies, CI/CD artifacts, and incident response maturity alongside runtime exposure.
  • Use Case: Use during pre-launch reviews, pull request audits, or third-party tool evaluations to get an actionable checklist of security gaps and required mitigations.

Quick Start

Review the provided architecture notes or code and return a structured JSON threat assessment that lists realistic attack scenarios, evidence, severity, mitigations, missing controls, and any conditions required for approval.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform an adversarial security review before a product launch?

Adversarial security review evaluates software by mapping concrete attack vectors to observed evidence in data flows. It produces a structured JSON assessment mapping threats to severity, mitigations, missing controls, and approval conditions for defensible release decisions.

What is threat model validation and how does it map to evidence?

Threat model validation walks through data flows to map realistic attack scenarios against observed evidence in the codebase. It translates qualitative security concerns into structured, evidence-backed findings for triage.

How do I assess supply chain risks in my CI/CD pipeline and dependencies?

Supply chain risk assessment evaluates dependencies, CI/CD artifacts, and incident response maturity alongside runtime exposure. It identifies missing controls and generates an actionable checklist of security gaps and required mitigations.

Can I use this security review for pull request audits and third-party tool evaluations?

Yes, you can apply the security review to pull request audits and third-party tool evaluations. It examines the codebase and architecture notes to return a structured threat assessment listing realistic attack scenarios and conditional approvals.

What is the best way to document missing security controls for auditors?

The best way to document missing controls is generating a structured JSON assessment with classified verdicts, severity ratings, and mitigations. This provides security teams and auditors with an actionable, defensible checklist of security gaps.

What are the limitations of automated threat modeling for pre-launch reviews?

Automated threat modeling requires provided architecture notes or code to evaluate; it cannot assess undocumented runtime environments. It outputs conditional approvals based strictly on the evidence supplied within the codebase and infrastructure notes.
