Checked
daffy0208·vlatest·security·MIT

Designs secure system architectures, identifying vulnerabilities and recommending mitigation strategies based on industry best practices.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it Security Architect, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add daffy0208/ai-dev-standards --skill "Security Architect" -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned daffy0208/ai-dev-standards at 32c3241e48.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The security-architect skill empowers AI agents to design robust, secure system architectures and generate comprehensive security documentation. It assists in identifying potential vulnerabilities within proposed infrastructure before deployment.

When to use it

  • Planning new cloud-native applications requiring strict compliance with industry standards.
  • Reviewing high-level system designs for gaps in authentication or data encryption strategies.
  • Generating initial blueprints for Zero Trust network implementations.
  • Creating security policy documents and architectural decision records (ADRs).

Key capabilities

  • Generates secure architecture diagrams and structural layouts.
  • Produces detailed security documentation including threat models.
  • Identifies common design flaws related to access control and data flow.
  • Aligns system designs with specific regulatory frameworks.

Example prompts

  • "Design a secure microservices architecture for a fintech payment gateway, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance."
  • "Create a threat model diagram for a new IoT device management platform using STRIDE methodology."
  • "Draft an architectural decision record (ADR) justifying the choice of mutual TLS over HTTP headers for internal service communication."

Tips & gotchas

This skill focuses on high-level design and documentation rather than writing specific exploit code or performing runtime penetration testing. Ensure you provide context about your target compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) to get relevant architectural recommendations.
