Risk Manager — Keep Risk Explicit
Use this skill when:
- Work affects stability, security, cost, or reliability
- You are about to make a risky change without a rollback
- You need to keep agents "on script" (risk clarity constrains drift)
Goal: keep a short, actionable risk register and make mitigation part of the plan.
Risk register format (top 5 only)
Each risk must fit on 3–6 lines:
- Risk: ___
- Impact: Low/Med/High
- Likelihood: Low/Med/High
- Trigger: what signal indicates it's happening
- Mitigation: what we do to prevent/limit it
- Rollback: how to safely revert
Prefer updating an existing tracked RISKS.md (or equivalent) rather than dumping risk analysis into chat.
Rules
- If Impact is High and Rollback is unclear, stop and define rollback before proceeding.
- Keep mitigations cheap and directly tied to triggers.
- Risks that become reality should be captured as an incident (see incident triage protocol).
