Security

telagod/security

Defensive security engineering judgment, distilled from a stronger model - invoke when THREAT MODELING a system or feature; making security-relevant design decisions (auth, crypto, trust boundaries, attack surface); reviewing code for vulnerabilities (injection, IDOR, secrets, the OWASP classes); hardening operations (secrets management, detection, patching, incident response); or judging whether a security control/program is real or theater. Also invoke BEFORE any offensive-flavored request (pentest, exploit, credential testing) to apply the authorization gate. Also invoke when designing, reviewing, or hardening an LLM/agent system that reads untrusted content or holds tool/MCP access (prompt injection, excessive agency, MCP supply chain).

The instruction itself

4 sections, as written by the author

Security — scope gate, threat model, design, review, operations, traps, agentic AI

Rule content lives in the seven files below; this SKILL.md only routes

(doctrine/04-maintenance.md governs edits to this bundle too).

First, always: scope.md §1 — the authorization gate. It fires on ANY request

mentioning exploits, payloads, bypassing auth/WAF/filters, cracking, brute force,

credential/password testing, scanning a target, or accessing a system the requester

didn't build in this session — recognize the moment even when the ask is phrased as

"just write a script." Defensive work proceeds; offensive-flavored work needs

corroborated authorization context; some requests are refused regardless of framing.

Pass the gate before applying anything else in this bundle.

Route by moment

| You are about to… | Read (in this folder) |

|---|---|

| Judge scope — fires on ANY mention of exploits, payloads, bypassing auth/WAF, cracking, brute force, credential testing, scanning a target, or reaching a system the requester didn't build here | scope.md §1 |

| Decide what to protect, from whom, and where to spend | threat-model.md |

| Design auth, trust boundaries, crypto use, or a system's security posture | design.md |

| Review code for vulnerabilities, or report security findings | review.md |

| Handle secrets, hardening, logging/detection, dependencies, incidents | operate.md |

| Assess whether a control or security program is real; name why it smells | traps.md |

| Design, review, or harden a system where an LLM/agent reads untrusted content or holds tool/MCP access (prompt injection, excessive agency, MCP supply chain) | agentic.md |

A new system usually runs threat-model.md (four questions) → design.md

review.md before ship → operate.md in production.

Scope and neighbors

Security judgment for building and defending systems. The application-level security

floor (input validation, per-object authz in backend/operate.md §5; rate limits in

backend/operate.md §7) also lives in the backend bundle — this bundle is the deeper

treatment. Agentic AI security (prompt injection, the lethal trifecta, tool-privilege

boundaries, MCP supply chain) is agentic.md — it extends this bundle's design/review/

operate rules to agents, not a replacement for them. General verification

discipline is methods/verify.md; whether to delegate → doctrine.

The stance

Attackers take the cheapest path; defenders must be honest about which door is open.

Threat model before controls (threat-model.md), assume breach (scope.md §3), make

the safe way the easy way (design.md §3) — and never confuse a control that exists

with a control that works (traps.md meta-signal). A clean review means "nothing found

where I looked," never "secure" (scope.md §5).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take telagod/security from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
