Automated summary
Build comprehensive attack trees to visualize threat paths and analyze security risks.
Strengths
- Systematic visualization of complex attack scenarios.
- Clear identification of defense gaps and priorities.
- Effective communication of risks to stakeholders.
- AND/OR structuring to model attack dependencies.
Limitations
- Requires authorization and defined scope to use legally.
- Can become very complex for large systems without supporting tools.
- Does not replace a thorough risk analysis or penetration test.
Use this skill when you need to visualize complex attack scenarios, identify defense gaps, or communicate security risks to stakeholders.
Do not use this skill if you lack authorization or a defined scope to model the system, or if the task is a general risk review without attack-path modeling.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill is purely analytical; it describes constructing attack trees without any executable commands, system modifications, or data exfiltration. No security risk.
No concerns found
How this analysis is madeExamples
Construct an attack tree for a web application to visualize potential threats, identify defense gaps, and prioritize mitigations.Create an attack tree for a cloud infrastructure, identifying critical attack paths, annotating leaves with cost and skill, and recommending mitigations.Develop an attack tree for the authentication system of our mobile app, using AND/OR decomposition, and map existing mitigations per branch.name: attack-tree-construction description: Build comprehensive attack trees to visualize threat paths. Use when mapping attack scenarios, identifying defense gaps, or communicating security risks to stakeholders.
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

From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz/download' --output '.skill-downloads/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz'openskills read 'attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/attack-tree-construction-mm78nocz/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
