# Security Bluebook Builder

## When to Use
- You need a concise but enforceable security policy for an app handling sensitive data.
- You want a single Blue Book document with explicit assumptions, controls, and go/no-go gates.
- The user needs policy guidance grounded in scope, threat model, and operational security defaults rather than generic advice.

## Overview
Build a minimal but real security policy for sensitive apps. The output is a single, coherent Blue Book document using MUST/SHOULD/CAN language, with explicit assumptions, scope, and security gates.

## Workflow

### 1) Gather inputs (ask only if missing)
Collect just enough context to fill the template. If the user has not provided details, ask up to 6 short questions:
- What data classes are handled (PII, PHI, financial, tokens, content)?
- What are the trust boundaries (client/server/third parties)?
- How do users authenticate (OAuth, email/password, SSO, device sessions)?
- What storage is used (DB, object storage, logs, analytics)?
- What connectors or third parties are used?
- Retention and deletion expectations (default + user-initiated)?

If the user cannot answer, proceed with safe defaults and mark TODOs.

### 2) Draft the Blue Book
Load `references/bluebook_template.md` and fill it with the provided details. Keep it concise, deterministic, and enforceable.

### 3) Enforce guardrails
- Do not include secrets, tokens, or internal credentials.
- If something is unknown, write "TODO" plus a clear assumption.
- Fail closed: if a capability is required but unavailable, call it out explicitly.
- Keep scope minimal; do not add features or tools beyond what the user asked for.

### 4) Quality checks
Confirm the Blue Book includes:
- Threat model (assumptions + out-of-scope)
- Data classification + handling rules
- Trust boundaries + controls
- Auth/session policy
- Token handling policy
- Logging/audit policy
- Retention/deletion
- Incident response mini-runbook
- Security gates + go/no-go checklist

## Resources
- `references/bluebook_template.md`

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

REQUIRED CONTEXT

  • data classes handled
  • trust boundaries
  • authentication method
  • storage used
  • third-party connectors
  • retention/deletion rules

ROLES & RULES

  1. Do not include secrets, tokens, or internal credentials.
  2. If something is unknown, write "TODO" plus a clear assumption.
  3. Fail closed: if a capability is required but unavailable, call it out explicitly.
  4. Keep scope minimal; do not add features or tools beyond what the user asked for.
  5. Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  6. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  7. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Format
markdown
Constraints
  • single coherent Blue Book document
  • use MUST/SHOULD/CAN language
  • include threat model, data classification, trust boundaries, auth policy, logging, retention, incident response, and security gates
  • mark unknowns as TODO with assumptions
  • no secrets or credentials

SUCCESS CRITERIA

  • Confirm the Blue Book includes threat model (assumptions + out-of-scope)
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes data classification + handling rules
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes trust boundaries + controls
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes auth/session policy
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes token handling policy
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes logging/audit policy
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes retention/deletion
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes incident response mini-runbook
  • Confirm the Blue Book includes security gates + go/no-go checklist

CAVEATS

Dependencies
  • Requires references/bluebook_template.md
Missing context
  • The content or schema of the referenced bluebook_template.md
  • Preferred output format or length constraints for the final Blue Book
Ambiguities
  • References external file `references/bluebook_template.md` without providing its contents or structure.
  • States 'ask up to 6 short questions' but does not specify exact fallback behavior when answers are partial.

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

  • Inline or summarize the bluebook_template.md structure so the prompt is self-contained.
  • Add an explicit instruction for output length or section ordering to increase determinism.

USAGE

Copy the prompt above and paste it into your AI of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anywhere else you're working. Replace any placeholder sections with your own context, then ask for the output.
