What it does
“Use when Codex is already in the threat-modeling phase of a security scan, the user explicitly invokes $threat-model, or the user explicitly asks to create, update, or persist a repository threat model. Do not use as the primary trigger for full PR, commit, branch, patch, or repository scans.”
Generated summary from the skill's own text
This skill creates or updates threat models for repositories during security scanning workflows. It manages caching of repository-scoped models, honors user-provided inputs, and generates architectural threat descriptions including attacker capabilities and trust boundaries. The skill integrates with the scanning system by producing standalone Markdown models or semantic checkpoints for ongoing scans.
When to use it
- User explicitly requests threat model creation or updates
- Codex is in the threat-modeling phase of security scanning
- User asks to persist a repository threat model
- Analyzing security-relevant architecture and failure modes
When not to
- Using threat modeling as primary trigger for repository scans
- Standard or Deep Scan workflows already handle threat models internally
- User requests general repository scanning without explicit threat model focus

Copy by hand
Download the folder at 0722921 and put it in .claude/skills/threat-model for Claude Code and in .agents/skills/threat-model for Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode.
Copy for your agent
A prompt for any coding agent. It installs this skill from GitHub at the pinned commit, copies the files as they are, and runs nothing unless you ask.
Prompt
Install the agent skill "threat-model" by OpenAI. Source, pinned to commit 0722921d5542fc593105c27bd52630babd8b8c2a: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/0722921d5542fc593105c27bd52630babd8b8c2a/plugins/codex-security/skills/threat-model 1. Download that folder at exactly this commit. Do not use the default branch. 2. Copy every file unchanged, keeping the folder structure, into .claude/skills/threat-model/ for Claude Code and .agents/skills/threat-model/ for Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. Create the folders if they do not exist. 3. Do not edit the files, and do not run any script in the folder unless I ask you to. 4. When you are done, list the files you copied and where you put them. Its license is restricted or not stated. Show me the license terms from the repository before you copy anything. Listing and checks: https://www.agentnative.dev/skills/openai/threat-model
