Verify threat mitigations for a completed phase. Three states:
- (A) SECURITY.md exists — audit and verify mitigations
- (B) No SECURITY.md, PLAN.md with threat model exists — run from artifacts
- (C) Phase not executed — exit with guidance
Output: updated SECURITY.md.
Verify threat mitigations for a completed phase. Confirm PLAN.md threat register dispositions are resolved. Update SECURITY.md.

if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi

If SECURITY_CFG is false: exit with "Security enforcement disabled. Enable via /gsd-settings."

1. Detect Input State
SECURITY_FILE=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SECURITY.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
PLAN_FILES=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null)
SUMMARY_FILES=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SUMMARY.md 2>/dev/null)
- State A (
SECURITY_FILE non-empty): Audit existing
- State B (
SECURITY_FILE empty, PLAN_FILES and SUMMARY_FILES non-empty): Run from artifacts
- State C (
SUMMARY_FILES empty): Exit — "Phase {N} not executed. Run /gsd-execute-phase {N} first."
2. Discovery
2a. Read Phase Artifacts
Read PLAN.md — extract <threat_model> block: trust boundaries, STRIDE register (threat_id, category, component, disposition, mitigation_plan).
2b. Read Summary Threat Flags
Read SUMMARY.md — extract ## Threat Flags entries.
2c. Build Threat Register
Per threat: { threat_id, category, component, disposition, mitigation_pattern, files_to_check }
3. Threat Classification
Classify each threat:
| Status | Criteria |
|---|
| CLOSED | mitigation found OR accepted risk documented in SECURITY.md OR transfer documented |
| OPEN | none of the above |
Build: { threat_id, category, component, disposition, status, evidence }
If threats_open: 0 → skip to Step 6 directly.
4. Present Threat Plan
Call AskUserQuestion with threat table and options:
- "Verify all open threats" → Step 5
- "Accept all open — document in accepted risks log" → add to SECURITY.md accepted risks, set all CLOSED, Step 6
- "Cancel" → exit
5. Spawn gsd-security-auditor
Task(
prompt="Read $HOME/.claude/agents/gsd-security-auditor.md for instructions.\n\n" +
"<files_to_read>{PLAN, SUMMARY, impl files, SECURITY.md}</files_to_read>" +
"<threat_register>{threat register}</threat_register>" +
"<config>asvs_level: {SECURITY_ASVS}, block_on: {SECURITY_BLOCK_ON}</config>" +
"<constraints>Never modify implementation files. Verify mitigations exist — do not scan for new threats. Escalate implementation gaps.</constraints>" +
"${AGENT_SKILLS_AUDITOR}",
subagent_type="gsd-security-auditor",
model="{AUDITOR_MODEL}",
description="Verify threat mitigations for Phase {N}"
)
Handle return:
## SECURED → record closures → Step 6
## OPEN_THREATS → record closed + open, present user with accept/block choice → Step 6
## ESCALATE → present to user → Step 6
6. Write/Update SECURITY.md
State B (create):
- Read template from
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/SECURITY.md
- Fill: frontmatter, threat register, accepted risks, audit trail
- Write to
${PHASE_DIR}/${PADDED_PHASE}-SECURITY.md
State A (update):
- Update threat register statuses, append to audit trail:
## Security Audit {date}
| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Threats found | {N} |
| Closed | {M} |
| Open | {K} |
ENFORCING GATE: If threats_open > 0 after all options exhausted (user did not accept, not all verified closed):
GSD > PHASE {N} SECURITY BLOCKED
{K} threats open — phase advancement blocked until threats_open: 0
▶ Fix mitigations then re-run: /gsd-secure-phase {N}
▶ Or document accepted risks in SECURITY.md and re-run.
Do NOT emit next-phase routing. Stop here.
7. Commit
node "$GSD_TOOLS" commit "docs(phase-${PHASE}): add/update security threat verification"
8. Results + Routing
Secured (threats_open: 0):
GSD > PHASE {N} THREAT-SECURE
threats_open: 0 — all threats have dispositions.
▶ /gsd-validate-phase {N} validate test coverage
▶ /gsd-verify-work {N} run UAT
