risk-matrix

risk-matrix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fzfclee/consulting-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (733 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for listing and ranking risks by their possible event, cause, consequence, likelihood, and impact. It also records who owns each risk and what warning sign should trigger action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning a project, deal, or stakeholder move that could have serious downsides, especially when risks need owners and response triggers.
Why use it?
It turns vague concerns into specific risks with agreed controls and responsibility.

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-matrix 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.

Risk Matrix

Use this skill to run Risk Matrix as a practical consulting method, not as a generic framework explanation.

Method Notes

  • Define risk as event + cause + consequence.
  • Score likelihood, impact, and optional detectability, then assign owner and trigger.

Required Inputs

Collect or infer these inputs before execution:

  • planned action or project
  • risk list
  • impact definitions
  • owners

If an input is missing, do not block automatically. Mark it as missing, state the assumption used, and add a validation action.

When Not To Use

Do not use when numeric ratings would create false precision or when thresholds and owners are undefined. Treat legal, safety, and regulatory stop conditions separately from relative risk ranking.

Adjacent Methods

  • pre-mortem: surface failure modes before a defined plan starts.
  • scenario-planning: test strategy across uncertain external futures.

Step-by-Step Execution

Step Required input How to execute Output
Define objective Plan/project/decision and success criteria. State what outcome risks threaten. Risk scope.
