Use this skill when a team needs its first information security risk register, or has one that is a copied catalogue nobody owns, and asks "build our risk register", "draft a risk assessment", "what are our top risks", "risk register from scratch", "our auditor wants a risk assessment" or "turn our incidents and findings into risks". Drafts 20 to 40 company-specific risk scenarios from the material the agent can reach, scores them against an agreed method, proposes owners and treatments, and…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Use this when there is no register, or when the register is a generic list that would fit any company. You get two files in a new folder, `./risk-register-first-pass/`: a spreadsheet you can open in Excel listing 20 to 40 risks specific to the company, each with an owner, scores and a proposed treatment (`risk-register.csv`), and a short notes document with the scoring rules, the reasoning behind the top scores and the questions for each owner (`risk-notes.md`). This skill drafts for a human to review and sign; this skill never marks a control effective. Risk acceptance is a decision for named owners, never for the agent. End `risk-notes.md` with `## Not checked`: what this run did not read or could not open, what it assumed and what it did not verify, specific to this run. Then add a blank `## Review record` for the approver: reviewer role and competence basis, items sampled and the source each was traced to, what was changed or rejected, one item the draft did not flag and what checking it showed, decision, date and draft version reviewed. `risk-notes.md` is the review companion of `risk-register.csv` and travels with it; the Review record names `risk-register.csv` and the… …

How to install
mdr add better-isms/grcskills/risk-register-first-pass@sha256:68b0e39dc63d8385The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.690016c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
