Description
Risk-assessment is an agent skill that finds operational risks, scores them, and plans how to reduce them. It works from a risk matrix that rates each risk by likelihood and impact: low, medium and high impact on one axis, and low, medium and high likelihood on the other. Combined, these give ratings from low through medium and high up to critical, which tells you what to address first. The skill groups risks into categories and builds a register that records each one with its mitigation. It is useful when a team asks what could go wrong, wants a formal risk register, or is planning a project and needs its exposure written down. You can ask for it with phrases such as what are the risks or risk assessment,. It is part of Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins.…
