dependency-and-risk-management skillA
dependency-and-risk-management is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Manages delivery risk and cross-team dependencies — identifying, sizing, mitigating and escalating what could stop the work. Use this to build a risk register that gets used, manage dependencies between teams, decide what to escalate and when, or work out why the same risks keep materializing unmanaged..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

Most plans contain several. For each: what exactly is needed, from whom by name, by when, and what happens if it is late. Then confirm it with the owning team in a way they would recognize as a commitment — an item on their plan, not a mention in a meeting. Track dependencies both ways. Teams reliably track what they are owed and forget what they owe, which is why everyone believes they are being let down. The dangerous ones are **transitive**: your dependency has a dependency you cannot see. Trace at least one hop further than feels necessary, particularly where a shared specialist or a single team appears repeatedly. ## A risk register people actually use Most registers are written once for a gate and never opened. What makes one useful: …
