Risk Assessment

anthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsOfficial

Turns projects and decisions into structured risk registers with likelihood, impact, and mitigation plans. Covers six categories from operational failures to security vulnerabilities, using a standard matrix to score everything from low to critical. The format is straightforward: description, scores, who owns it, what you're doing about it. Useful when you need to formalize "what could go wrong" thinking into something you can actually track and share with stakeholders. The output focuses on controllable, material risks rather than cataloging every theoretical problem, which keeps things practical.
