What is risk-register?

A shared register for recording deferred work, temporary shortcuts, and unresolved architecture decisions in a project. It stores these items in a committed Markdown file so the team can find them later.

Use it to add, track, and resolve entries about shortcuts, deferred items, and architecture decisions.

It prevents important compromises and open decisions from being forgotten between sessions or team members. Validation checks help preserve the register's structure and history.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Prompt Injection · line 40
Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

Fix: Remove the large whitespace padding (blank-line blocks or long space runs) and review any content hidden below or to the right of it. Keep skill files compact and reviewable so no instructions can be

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00167	$0.03224
Opus 5	$0.00084	$0.01612
Sonnet 5	$0.00033	$0.00645
Haiku 4.5	$0.00017	$0.00322

Security

Grade A, and why

risk-register 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/validate-risk-register-append-only.sh, scripts/validate-risk-register-schema.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Risk Register

A single committed table (docs/RISK_REGISTER.md) of every deferred item, interim shortcut, and open architecture decision that could otherwise get forgotten between sessions or team members. Unlike gitignored, session-local scratch notes, this is a durable, shared, GitHub-visible record -- the register is the index; a scratch note or a PR is where the extra detail lives, if there is more to say than fits in a row.

Prerequisites

docs/RISK_REGISTER.md exists. If this is the first entry in a project and the file doesn't exist yet, create it with a # Risk Register title, an intro paragraph (paraphrase the one above), and an empty table using the columns in assets/templates/risk-register-row-template.yaml.
assets/templates/risk-register-row-template.yaml -- the shape of a single row, illustrated
assets/schemas/risk-register-row.schema.json -- the same shape, as enforceable constraints
scripts/validate-risk-register-append-only.sh and scripts/validate-risk-register-schema.sh, both wired into a local pre-commit hook so a row can never silently vanish, and a malformed row can never be committed

When to Use

The moment a shortcut is taken, a decision is postponed, or a known gap is discovered -- not retroactively.
A scratch note is created for something that should also be durably tracked (most of them should; see Relationship to Sibling Conventions).
Someone asks what's deferred, what's an accepted risk, or what's still open.
An entry is actually resolved and needs to be marked as such.

When NOT to Use

A finalized, accepted architectural decision with no open question -- that's an ADR (adr-capture), not a risk.
Ephemeral, single-session scratch notes that don't need to outlive the current conversation -- no register entry needed.
Anything confidential -- this file is committed and visible to everyone with repo access.

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.
