Blockchain Protocol Security Audit Preparation
Document threat models and attack surfaces for blockchain audit prep
What You Can Do
You can systematically document threat models, map attack surfaces, and articulate security assumptions for your blockchain protocol—all critical deliverables auditors expect. This skill guides you through building comprehensive security documentation that demonstrates you've thought deeply about potential vulnerabilities and risks before audit teams arrive. You'll create audit-ready artifacts that accelerate the audit process and help identify gaps in your security posture early.
Features
Identify and document potential attack vectors and threat actors relevant to your protocol
Create comprehensive diagrams showing external interfaces, dependencies, and potential entry points
Document explicit assumptions about the security environment, trust models, and dependencies
Categorize findings using standard frameworks (CVSS, severity matrices)
Quantify likelihood and impact to prioritize remediation efforts
Verify all audit deliverables are documented and complete before submission
Generate clear diagrams and descriptions of your protocol's security design
Example Output
Threat Model Example
Threat Actor: External attacker with access to node infrastructure Attack Vector: Network-level eclipse attack isolating validator Impact: Temporary consensus disruption Mitigation: Peer diversity requirements + connection limits
Attack Surface Mapping
External Entry Points:
├─ RPC endpoints (read-only, authenticated)
├─ P2P network (permissionless gossip protocol)
└─ Consensus layer (stake-weighted voting)
Internal Components at Risk:
├─ Transaction validation (custom WASM VM)
├─ State storage (encrypted key-value store)
└─ Network messaging (Ed25519 signatures)
Security Assumptions Document

You can systematically diagnose database performance bottlenecks by sharing your schema, slow query logs, and execution plans with Claude. It identifies root causes—missing indexes, inefficient joins, lock contention—and provides prioritized recommendations with ready-to-implement SQL. Skip the manual log analysis and get tuning strategies tailored to your workload.
Use Claude to systematically analyze your database queries, execution plans, and schema to identify performance bottlenecks. The skill generates actionable optimization recommendations with SQL rewrites, index strategies, and configuration tuning. You'll receive detailed before-and-after performance analysis to validate improvements and prioritize work by impact.
Rapidly analyze firmware logs and diagnose hardware issues that cause device failures, connectivity problems, and performance degradation. You'll identify root causes from stack traces, crash dumps, and sensor data, then generate specific optimization recommendations. This skill transforms raw device logs into actionable debugging plans that reduce time-to-resolution from hours to minutes.
You'll develop systematic approaches to injectable formulation design, from API selection through sterilization strategy. Claude helps you troubleshoot failed batches by analyzing root causes, recommends regulatory pathways (505(b)(2), ANDA, NDA), and provides science-backed solutions for stability, compatibility, and manufacturability challenges.
This skill helps you systematically assess integration needs across your systems, design architecture patterns that scale with your organization, and identify technical and operational risks before implementation. You'll receive architecture recommendations aligned to your business constraints, clear integration roadmaps, and risk mitigation strategies that reduce deployment surprises. Get structured decision records suitable for architecture review boards and engineering teams.
Claude analyzes your code diffs and generates standardized commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification. The skill automatically determines the correct commit type, scope, and description based on the changes you've made, ensuring your messages are parseable by automation tools while remaining human-readable for code reviewers.
You can transform raw text into structured, labeled datasets for machine learning, analysis, and research. This skill performs named entity recognition, sentiment classification, part-of-speech tagging, and dependency parsing—generating consistent, validated annotations at scale. Use it to prepare corpora, extract entities, classify documents, or perform linguistic analysis without manual annotation.
You can architect multi-node ROS control systems from scratch, including node design patterns, communication flows, and real-time constraints. You'll debug complex node interactions using publisher/subscriber analysis, service call tracing, and action server diagnostics. You can optimize motion controllers through PID tuning, trajectory planning validation, and performance profiling to achieve precise, responsive robotic behavior.
