Usage Pattern

1. Identify Analysis Type

Starting Project: → 01_stride_analysis.md

New Feature: → 02_feature_threats.md → Implement → 08_update_model.md

Architecture Change: → 03_architecture_impact.md → Change → 08_update_model.md

Before Deployment: → 04_code_review.md → 06_owasp_check.md

Adding Payments: → 07_payment_security.md

Continuous Testing: → 05_security_tests.md (run in CI/CD)

2. Load Template

Read: .claude/skills/security/security-prompts/threat-modeling/[number]_[name].md

3. Customize Context

Replace in template:

• [Your app description] with actual description
• [Key Features] with feature list
• [Assets to Protect] with actual assets
• [Architecture details] with specific stack

4. Present Analysis

I'll conduct a [ANALYSIS_TYPE] using the threat modeling template.

**Analysis will cover**:
- [List from template]

**Estimated time**: [From template]

**Expected output**: [From template]

Let me load the template and customize it for your application...

5. Document Findings

Save results to:

• docs/security/THREAT_MODEL.md (main threat model)
• docs/security/reviews/YYYY-MM-DD-[type]-review.md (specific reviews)

Agent Usage

Threat Modeler Agent

When threat-modeler agent runs:

"Create comprehensive threat model using STRIDE template from
.claude/skills/security/security-prompts/threat-modeling/01_stride_analysis.md"

Security Scanner Agent

Before scanning:

"Review code using template from
.claude/skills/security/security-prompts/threat-modeling/04_code_review.md
to guide vulnerability assessment"

Security Reporter Agent

For compliance:

"Generate OWASP compliance report using template from
.claude/skills/security/security-prompts/threat-modeling/06_owasp_check.md"

Integration with Secure Vibe Coding OS

All templates reference:

• Baseline: 90/100 OWASP score
• Architecture: @docs/security/SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md
• Stack: Next.js, Clerk, Convex, Stripe
• Controls: CSRF, rate limiting, validation, error handling, headers

Templates assess threats in context of existing baseline security.

Best Practices

Threat Model Maintenance

After every feature:

• Use 08_update_model.md
• Increment version
• Document changes
• Commit to Git

Monthly reviews:

• Re-run 01_stride_analysis.md
• Update risk priorities
• Add newly discovered threats
• Review existing mitigations

Code Review Frequency

Pre-deployment: Always run 04_code_review.md

Pull requests: For security-sensitive changes

Weekly: During active development

Quarterly: Full security audit

OWASP Compliance

Initial: Run 06_owasp_check.md at project start

Quarterly: Re-assess compliance

After major changes: Re-check affected categories

Before audits: Full compliance verification

Related Skills

• security-prompts - Main directory with all template categories (engineering, auth, controls, threat-modeling)

Agents (use these templates):

• threat-modeler (agent) - Automated threat modeling
• security-scanner (agent) - Vulnerability scanning
• security-reporter (agent) - Report generation

Note: For other template categories (implementation, authentication, simple controls), see the parent security-prompts skill

Template Customization

Every template requires context:

• Application description
• Key features
• Data handled
• User types
• Architecture stack
• Existing controls

Never use generic templates - always customize for specific application context.

Version History
