# Security Essentials Pack A curated bundle of essential security skills for building and maintaining secure applications. This pack integrates threat analysis, hardening practices, compliance frameworks, and audit procedures into a comprehensive security toolkit. ## What's Included - **security-threat-modeler** - Systematic security analysis using STRIDE methodology - **security-implementation-guide** - Security hardening patterns and implementation guidance - **gdpr-compliance-check** - GDPR compliance assessment and data protection validation - **incident-response-commander** - Security incident response coordination and playbooks - **contract-risk-analyzer** - Vendor contract and third-party risk analysis ## Getting Started Install this bundle to establish security practices across your projects. Begin with threat modeling to understand your attack surface, then apply hardening techniques to your architecture and code. Use audit checklists to validate security measures, compliance mappers to meet regulatory requirements, and contract analyzers to manage third-party risks. This pack works for teams of any size establishing security programs or improving existing security postures.

taxonomy-modeling-design
Phase 2 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Classifies entities, standardizes attributes, establishes relationships, and designs the access framework. Use when the user invokes phase 2 of an overhaul, asks to "design the taxonomy" or "model the structure", or has completed a landscape audit and is ready to redesign. Consumes phase-1-landscape-report.md; produces phase-2-taxonomy-model.md.
systemic-ingestion-normalization
Phase 4 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Purges redundancies, enriches and aligns legacy entities to the new schema, executes phased ingestion into the new environment, and audits integrity. Use when the user invokes phase 4 of an overhaul, asks to "migrate the data" or "ingest into the new system", or has a configured environment ready to accept legacy entities. Consumes phase-3-environment-spec.md; produces phase-4-ingestion-report.md.
system-environment-configuration
Phase 3 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Translates the taxonomy model into objective technical criteria, evaluates candidate mechanisms or frameworks, instantiates the chosen architecture, and programs validation rules. Use when the user invokes phase 3 of an overhaul, asks to "select a system" or "configure the environment", or has a taxonomy model and is ready to choose technology. Consumes phase-2-taxonomy-model.md; produces phase-3-environment-spec.md.
pentaphase-orchestrator
Threads the full five-phase structural-overhaul protocol — landscape discovery, taxonomy design, environment configuration, systemic ingestion, governance evolution — for any substrate the user names. Use when the user requests a structural overhaul, system redesign, or end-to-end restructuring of a documentation system, asset registry, code monorepo, knowledge base, or operational workflow; or when they explicitly invoke the pentaphase methodology. Coordinates handoffs between phase-skills and seats validation gates between phases.
