risk-assessment

risk-assessment is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins. It costs 54 tokens per session (361 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A risk assessment identifies things that could go wrong and records their likelihood, impact, mitigation, owner, and status. A risk register is the organized list used to track these items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create risk registers, assess projects or vendors, plan mitigations, and monitor open or accepted risks.
Why use it?
It makes operational, financial, compliance, strategic, reputational, and security risks visible and comparable. Teams can then prioritize mitigation instead of reacting only after problems occur.

About the project

Knowledge Work Plugins is an open-source collection of Claude extensions organized around roles such as productivity, sales, and customer support. Each plugin combines role-specific guidance, connectors, commands, and sub-agents so knowledge workers can use Claude with their team’s tools and processes. The catalogue entries are examples of, or workflows from, this plugin collection.

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

risk-assessment 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Risk Assessment

Systematically identify, assess, and plan mitigations for operational risks.

Risk Assessment Matrix

Low Impact Medium Impact High Impact
High Likelihood Medium High Critical
Medium Likelihood Low Medium High
Low Likelihood Low Low Medium

Risk Categories

  • Operational: Process failures, staffing gaps, system outages
  • Financial: Budget overruns, vendor cost increases, revenue impact
  • Compliance: Regulatory violations, audit findings, policy breaches
  • Strategic: Market changes, competitive threats, technology shifts
  • Reputational: Customer impact, public perception, partner relationships
  • Security: Data breaches, access control failures, third-party vulnerabilities

Risk Register Format

For each risk, document:

  • Description: What could happen
  • Likelihood: High / Medium / Low
  • Impact: High / Medium / Low
  • Risk Level: Critical / High / Medium / Low
  • Mitigation: What we're doing to reduce likelihood or impact
  • Owner: Who is responsible for managing this risk
  • Status: Open / Mitigated / Accepted / Closed

Output

Produce a prioritized risk register with specific, actionable mitigations. Focus on risks that are controllable and material.

Changes

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.
