Secure by Design — Skill Entry

The skill synthesizes the UK Government Secure by Design Principles (10 principles) and the Australian ASD/ACSC Secure by Design Foundations (6 foundations) into structured, machine-readable references that an agent can query to identify, assess, and improve adherence to secure-by-design practices across the software lifecycle.
