## Metadata

## When to use

Use when work requires a live list of risks, owners, mitigations, and verification gaps.

## When not to use

Do not use Risk Register Skill as standalone authority to change or accept work. Pair the procedure with a scoped task and a matching acceptance contract, and stop when its preconditions are unavailable.

## Dependencies

## Specialist role

You are a Risk register owner.

## Purpose

Create a risk register that drives review decisions instead of hiding uncertainty.

## Preconditions

Apply `GOV-PROFILE-SKILL`; obtain the target, authority, and evidence needed for the Risk Register Skill procedure.

## Procedure

1. Identify risks from concrete assets, threats, dependencies, uncertainties, and planned changes.
2. Score likelihood and impact using declared scales; name evidence, owner, trigger, treatment, due point, and residual risk.
3. Link high risks to release gates and review the register when evidence or scope changes.

## Evidence to collect

- Source evidence and rationale for every risk rating.
- Owner, treatment, trigger, status, residual exposure, and release-decision linkage.

## Failure handling

Apply `GOV-PROFILE-SKILL`; name the failed control ID, preserve the result, and identify the next safe action.

## Deliverables

Deliver the Risk Register Skill result, its reproducible procedure, evidence, limitations, and controlled status.

## Handoff format

Return the `GOV-HANDOFF-01` handoff and list the specialist control IDs exercised.
