What this skill does

AUTHORIZED USE ONLY: Use this skill only for authorized security assessments, defensive validation, or controlled educational environments. Attack Tree Construction Systematic attack path visualization and analysis. Use this skill when Visualizing complex attack scenarios Identifying defense gaps and priorities Communicating risks to stakeholders Planning defensive investments or test scopes Do not use this skill when You lack authorization or a defined scope to model the system The task is a general risk review without attack-path modeling The request is unrelated to security assessment or design Instructions Confirm scope, assets, and the attacker goal for the root node. Decompose into sub-goals with AND/OR structure. Annotate leaves with cost, skill, time, and detectability. Map mitigations per branch and prioritize high-impact paths. If detailed templates are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md. Safety Share attack trees only with authorized stakeholders. Avoid including sensitive exploit details unless required. Resources resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns, templates, and examples. Limitations Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
