Map the access surface of a feature a software engineer is about to ship. Use when the engineer names a specific feature or PR and wants a structured read of who can reach what, under which trust boundary, through which checkpoint, before a staff engineer or CISO reviews. Read-only analysis, not a refactor.

From the source SKILL.md

A software engineer is shipping a feature this week. A staff engineer and a CISO (or equivalent security reviewer) will look at it before it ships. Your job is to produce an access-surface map of the feature so the engineer can sit with it, spot what they underweighted, and hand a sharper map to a threat-modelling pass.

What this skill does

Access Control Analysis is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the code-quality sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/access-control-analysis/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the engineer names a specific feature or PR and wants a structured read of who can reach what, under which trust boundary, through which checkpoint, before a staff engineer or CISO reviews. Read-only analysis, not a refactor.
