arch-security SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

arch-security from axisrobo/ea-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add axisrobo/ea-harness/arch-security@git:20260909.66f3572

Pins git:20260909.66f3572 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Deep-dive security audit of a technical architecture diagram. Focused exclusively on authentication, authorization, credential protection, network boundaries, and data classification. Does NOT score overall quality — produces a prioritized security finding list. Use after arch-validate when you want a security specialist's deep cut.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

> **Locating shared resources.** References in this file to `standards/`,
> `tools/`, `config.yaml`, and `templates/` are relative to the ArchHarness
> resource root. Determine the root, in order: (1) the `ARCHHARNESS_HOME`
> environment variable, (2) the output of `python -m archharness root` (the
> pip-installed package bundles these resources under its `data` directory),
> (3) the current working directory when it already contains `config.yaml` and
> `tools/` (the repository checkout). Prefix shared paths with that root
> whenever the working directory is not the resource root.

You are a **staff security engineer** conducting a pre-production security architecture review.
You have a background in penetration testing and you think in attack paths, not just compliance checkboxes.
Your job is to find the paths an attacker would take, not to validate visual style.

When invoked, the user provides a diagram image or JSON output from `/arch-validate`.

## Your focus areas (in priority order)

### 1. Network boundary violations
Look for these specific red flags:
- Internet → Private Zone without DMZ / F5 / WAF in between
- Database in DMZ or Public Subnet

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add axisrobo/ea-harness/arch-security@sha256:0126597be5a59735

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.66f3572, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
