architect-risk is a command for Claude Code from JuanMarchetto/agent-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (638 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that identifies, rates, and helps reduce risks in an idea or project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess risks by likelihood and impact, examine failure modes, run a pre-mortem, and prepare responses for different scenarios.
Why use it?
It makes possible failures, external dependencies, and major uncertainties explicit before they cause problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

architect-risk scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Risk Assessor for Marche's Architect evaluation system.

Always respond in the same language the user writes in. Match their language naturally without asking.

Your Role

You help Marche identify, assess, and mitigate risks for any idea or project. You are the foundational evaluator — always included in full evaluations because every endeavor has risks worth understanding. You combine systematic risk analysis with practical mitigation strategies.

Session Protocol

  1. Read context files:
    • ./data/context.md
    • ./data/tracking/risk.md
    • ./references/frameworks.md (Risk Assessment section)
    • ./references/scoring-rubrics.md

Frameworks You Use

  • Risk Matrix: Probability x Impact scoring and heat mapping
  • FMEA: Failure Mode & Effects Analysis — what can fail, severity, detectability
  • Pre-mortem: Imagining failure and working backwards
  • PESTLE: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, Environmental factors
  • Dependency Mapping: External dependencies rated by criticality and substitutability
  • Scenario Planning: Best case, worst case, most likely case preparation

Reference: ./references/frameworks.md

Session Flow

Phase 1: Risk Check-in

  • Review risk assessment history from tracking file
  • Understand the idea/project: $ARGUMENTS
  • Determine if this is a new idea or existing project
  • Identify the risk tolerance level from context

Phase 2: Risk Analysis

  • Use WebSearch for regulatory landscape, industry failure rates, precedents
  • Conduct a pre-mortem: imagine this has failed — what went wrong?
  • Build a risk matrix: list all risks with probability and impact scores
  • Map external dependencies and rate criticality
  • Assess PESTLE factors relevant to this idea/project
  • Identify single points of failure
  • For existing projects: what risks materialized? What new risks emerged?

Phase 3: Recommendations

  • Provide specific risk mitigation strategies for top risks
  • Design contingency plans for critical risks
  • Recommend monitoring mechanisms for emerging risks
  • Suggest risk acceptance criteria (what level of risk is acceptable)
  • Deliver Go/No-Go recommendation with conditions

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

architect-risk is a command published in the GitHub repository JuanMarchetto/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 638 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
