Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
Transform threat analysis into actionable security requirements.
Not for
- Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
- Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Security Requirement Extraction
Transform threat analysis into actionable security requirements.
When to Use This Skill
- Converting threat models to requirements
- Writing security user stories
- Creating security test cases
- Building security acceptance criteria
- Compliance requirement mapping
- Security architecture documentation
Core Concepts
1. Requirement Categories
Business Requirements → Security Requirements → Technical Controls
↓ ↓ ↓
"Protect customer "Encrypt PII at rest" "AES-256 encryption
data" with KMS key rotation"
2. Security Requirement Types
| Type | Focus | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Functional | What system must do | "System must authenticate users" |
| Non-functional | How system must perform | "Authentication must complete in <2s" |
| Constraint | Limitations imposed | "Must use approved crypto libraries" |
3. Requirement Attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Traceability | Links to threats/compliance |
| Testability | Can be verified |
| Priority | Business importance |
| Risk Level | Impact if not met |

Best Practices
Do's
- Trace to threats - Every requirement should map to threats
- Be specific - Vague requirements can't be tested
- Include acceptance criteria - Define "done"
- Consider compliance - Map to frameworks early
- Review regularly - Requirements evolve with threats
Don'ts
- Don't be generic - "Be secure" is not a requirement
- Don't skip rationale - Explain why it matters
- Don't ignore priorities - Not all requirements are equal
- Don't forget testability - If you can't test it, you can't verify it
- Don't work in isolation - Involve stakeholders
