Use this skill when a risk owner wants to accept a residual risk instead of treating it further, or when someone asks "write a risk acceptance", "we want to accept this risk", "risk exception form", "document the risk acceptance for the auditor", "security exception for this system", "can we sign off this risk" or "management accepted the risk, how do we record it". Drafts a one-page decision record per risk: the risk and its score, the options considered with cost, why acceptance is…
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 for one risk at a time; batch only exceptions that share the same system, cause and owner. You get, in a new folder `./risk-acceptance-memo/`, a one-page memo per risk that the person with authority reads and signs or declines (`<risk-id>.md`), and one new line in a spreadsheet you can open in Excel that lists every live acceptance and when it expires (`acceptance-log.csv`). This skill drafts for a human to review and sign; this skill never marks a control effective. The skill never accepts the risk: the named person with the authority signs, or nothing is accepted. End `<risk-id>.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. ## Inputs to gather …

How to install
mdr add better-isms/grcskills/risk-acceptance-memo@sha256:7d86d4a2dd78c7fbThe 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.
