zero-trust
zero-trust is an code AI skill with a core value of Implement zero-trust network architecture. It
helps developers solve real-world problems in the code domain, boosting
efficiency, automating repetitive tasks, and optimizing workflows.
Implement zero-trust network architecture. Configure identity-based access, micro-segmentation, and continuous verification. Use when implementing modern security architectures.

Skill Content
# Zero Trust Architecture
Implement "never trust, always verify" security model.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Replacing traditional perimeter-based VPN access models
- Implementing BeyondCorp-style access to internal applications
- Securing multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments
- Enforcing identity-based access for every service interaction
- Meeting compliance requirements for continuous verification and least privilege
- Adopting micro-segmentation for Kubernetes or cloud workloads
Prerequisites
- Identity provider (IdP) supporting OIDC/SAML (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace)
- Service mesh or proxy infrastructure (Istio, Envoy, Cloudflare Access)
- Device management/MDM solution for device posture checks
- Kubernetes cluster for workload-level examples
- Understanding of mTLS, RBAC, and network policies
Core Principles
zero_trust_principles:
verify_explicitly:
description: "Authenticate and authorize every access request"
controls:
- Strong multi-factor authentication
- Identity-aware proxy for all applications
- Service-to-service mTLS
- API token validation on every request
least_privilege:
description: "Grant minimum access needed for the task"
controls:
- Just-in-time (JIT) access provisioning
- Time-bounded access grants
- Role-based access with fine-grained permissions
- Regular access reviews and certification
assume_breach:
description: "Design systems expecting compromise has occurred"
controls:
- Micro-segmentation between all services
- End-to-end encryption (data in transit and at rest)
- Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection
- Blast radius containmentBeyondCorp Implementation

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can this replace a dedicated SAST tool?
AI-based security review is complementary to SAST tools. Use it as a first-pass filter, not a replacement.
Is zero-trust compatible with Cursor and VS Code?
Yes — this skill works with any AI coding assistant including Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, and JetBrains IDEs.
Do I need specific dependencies for zero-trust?
Check the install command and Works With section. Most code skills only require the AI assistant and your codebase.
How do I install zero-trust?

Can I customize this skill for my team?
Absolutely. Edit the SKILL.md file to add team-specific instructions, examples, or workflows.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Only scanning surface-level issues
Deep security review requires understanding your app architecture, not just regex patterns.
Skipping validation
Always test AI-generated code changes, even for simple refactors.
Missing dependency updates
Check if the skill requires updated dependencies or new packages.
