About this skill
About Risk register
Project risks are usually discussed once at kickoff and then forgotten until they happen. This skill identifies risks across scope, schedule, people, vendors, technology and compliance, rates each one's likelihood and impact from one to five, and gives it a score, an owner, a mitigation and a trigger — the observable sign that the risk is materialising. The top three to watch are called out. Review the register weekly and risks become managed work instead of surprises. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the project description, timeline, dependencies and anything that worries you; the reply opens with “Register table: risk, L, I, score, owner, mitigation, trigger”.
Risk register — example input and the first lines it returns. Works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
