The Security Threat Model skill enables Claude to conduct structured security analyses for systems handling sensitive data such as PII, PHI, and financial records. By mapping system architecture, identifying trust boundaries, and applying the STRIDE framework (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege), this skill helps developers identify risks early in the design phase. It is particularly useful for preparing for compliance audits like PCI DSS or SOC 2, reviewing complex microservices architectures, and establishing defense-in-depth principles across your entire application stack.
