threat-patch（威胁补丁）

Threat Patch

Reads security findings and produces minimal, surgical code patches with structured documentation. Fixes are code-grounded — each patch targets specific files and functions identified in the finding. Output includes a summary, validation steps, and the code changes.

When to Apply

• User provides a findings.json (from threat-model) and wants fixes
• User provides a Codex security findings CSV and wants fixes
• User has a THREAT-MODEL.md and wants to remediate identified risks
• User describes a specific vulnerability and wants a patch
• Reviewing security scanner output and needs actionable fixes
• After a security audit, turning findings into code changes

Input Sources (priority order)

When findings.json is available, it's the preferred input — it includes data flow traces (entry → chain → sink) that directly inform where to apply fixes, and systemic groupings that suggest centralized fixes over individual patches.

Workflow Overview

1. Ingest Findings   → Read findings.json / CSV / descriptions
2. Triage & Group    → Sort by severity, use systemic groupings if available
3. For each finding:
   a. Read Code      → Open relevant_paths, understand the pattern
   b. Confirm        → Verify issue is still present in HEAD
   c. Design Fix     → Determine minimal fix approach
   d. Implement      → Write the code changes
   e. Document       → Summary + Validation + Attack-path (if needed)
   f. Test           → Run relevant tests
4. Output            → Per-patch deliverable with summary and diff
5. Update State      → Mark patched findings in findings.json (if present)

How to Use

1. Read workflow for the detailed patching methodology at each step
2. Read fix patterns when designing fixes — common patterns by vulnerability class
3. Read output format for the documentation template per patch
4. If input is findings.json: read it directly — it's already structured
5. If input is Codex CSV: run scripts/parse-findings.sh <csv-path> to extract structured output

Key Principles

• Minimal diff: Fix the vulnerability, don't refactor surrounding code. The smallest correct patch is the best patch
• Centralize over duplicate: When multiple code paths share the same vulnerability pattern, extract a shared helper rather than patching each site independently
• Explicit error paths: Add specific error types for rejected inputs with clear operator feedback, not silent failures or generic errors
• Confirm before fixing: Always verify the finding is still present in HEAD — code may have moved or been refactored since the finding was detected
• User approval before edits: Present the fix design (files to change, approach) and wait for approval before modifying source code. Hooks gate Edit/Write tool calls for additional safety
• Document even failures: When a fix can't be tested due to environment limitations, document the test command and the limitation

Guardrails

This skill modifies source code. Safety measures:

• PreToolUse hooks on Edit and Write tools prompt for confirmation before each file change
• Confirmation gate in the workflow between fix design and implementation
• Revert path: Without commits (default), use git checkout -- <files> to undo. With commits, use git revert

Output Modes

Code patch — when a fix is implemented:

• Summary of what was confirmed and what the fix does
• Testing section with build/test commands
• The actual code changes

Analysis only — when the fix needs user decision or architectural changes:

• Summary of what was confirmed
• Validation checklist
• Attack-path analysis (path, likelihood, impact, assumptions, controls, blindspots)
