name: risk-register description: Identify, assess, and plan mitigation for all project risks with likelihood/impact scoring, contingency plans, and monitoring schedules. Use after project plan defines scope and constraints. allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, WebSearch

Generate RISK-REGISTER.md at the repository root.

Process

1. Read PROJECT-PLAN.md for scope, timeline, budget, approach
2. Read _research/DOMAIN-RESEARCH.md for industry-specific risks and compliance
3. Read RACI-CHART.md for role assignments (risk owners)
4. Identify 8-15 risks across categories: Operational, Technical, Organizational, Financial, Compliance
5. Score each with Likelihood (1-4) x Impact (1-4)
6. Define 3+ mitigation strategies per high-score risk
7. Create contingency plans for each risk

Required Sections

1. Risk Assessment Overview: Mermaid quadrantChart plotting all risks by likelihood/impact
2. Risk Scoring Methodology: Table defining L and I scales (1-4) with descriptions
3. Risk Summary: Table (ID | Risk | Category | L | I | Score | Owner | Status)
4. Detailed Risk Profiles (per risk):
   • Attributes table (Category, Likelihood with rationale, Impact with rationale, Score, Owner, Detection method)
   • Mitigation Strategies (numbered list, 3+ for high-score)
   • Contingency Plan (numbered steps if risk materializes)
   • Triggers / Early Warning Signs (bullet list)
5. Risk Categories: Summary table (Category | Count | Highest Score)
6. Risk Monitoring Schedule: Table (Cadence | Activity | Participants | Output)

Quality Criteria

• 8-15 risks across multiple categories
• Mermaid quadrant chart renders correctly
• Every risk has mitigation AND contingency plan
• Each risk has a named owner
• Early warning triggers defined
• Monitoring schedule specified
